Depressing things

Jan 22, 2009 11:27

On Tuesday I was terminated for, I guess, lack of professional development. Put a student of any caliber, 12 years of age or older, in front of me and I'll totally rock. They will have fun and they will learn what they're supposed to. Put a student that's younger than 12 in front of me and it's like kryptonite. I find it very difficult to engage them and just have a lot of trouble. That was one of the key reasons mentioned. I still got positive feedback on ownership and punctuality, but it wasn't enough. I was expecting a lot of bickering over my last paycheck, but there wasn't any; my manager accepted without verification that I did work as late as I did on Saturday. I'm more upset that I didn't give my two weeks notice on the previous Tuesday when things really fell apart. Oh well.

As for other things. The fever of unknown origin stopped its run after eight days. Now it just feels like I'm dehydrated when I wake up (Dry mouth with a bit of a headache). I've made plans tomorrow to go down to one of the employment offices and check out the services. I'm also looking at staffing agencies in the area as well. I'm detesting the idea of rehashing my resume. It's like a paper I can't seem to improve on. Maybe I need another perspective on it.

I looked into food stamps and realized that, with all the investment accounts that I'm not supposed to touch, I'd never get approved. So frustrating, but I'm trying to be positive about the whole thing.

sick, termination, job hunting
