So, I've been searching for various jobs and looking around. Got info from the Practicum I was at today, saying that Educational Assistants in the school division can start by applying to the school division to be a substitute. They get like $18 / hr to start, and I could probably specify the two days a week I'll be free, and then work to more hours if need be.
I thought, great! I'll get right on that and hunting!!
I get home from practicum, feed cats, get sick(er), eat, call mom, and then check my email.
Oh, what's this? February Schedule. I already got the February Schedule though... Why does the subject line say "Yes, (my name), this is for you too."?
"(my name), you will notice you are scheduled on Tuesdays for training. We will discuss this on Wednesday." With the Infant room schedule attached.
Me: ... *blink* ... *blink* ... What?
So, it seems that I might be switched to the Infant room. Full Time, part time, I don't know.
I was concerned about this, and I was thinking about how ---
WE INTERRUPT THIS POSTING WITH THIS NEWS STORY
My cat is chasing his tail in circles, on top of our piano, against the wall, almost falling in the crack between the piano and wall. It's amusing.
AND NOW ONTO OUR REGULAR STORY
--- I wasn't sure that it's what I wanted. So I worried about whether I should tell the centre in regards to my concerns about if I'm staying there or not. Tell them I need time to think about whatever it is they're offering. Try harder to find something to apply to in the next few days...
Talked with mom again and she helped me think about it differently. Maybe, they're trying to give me an opportunity to become a leader in a smaller setting. Trying to give me opportunity to grow.
So, I am now thinking that I can think of this as a brand new job. Approach it as if they don't know how I work, and do what I can to impress them.
I'll see what I can do, and I'll focus on school right now.
EIGHT DAYS
