biweekly report
Hey all!
Yeah it's 4 a.m. and I'm still awake but I'm LOVING it because this is the first time I've had enough energy to stay up this late in about two weeks. I'm working on the first pixel doll I've done in ages and I forgot how long it takes to make one of these things. Oh well, at least it's fun.
Speaking of fun I am really enjoying my job. It's not as stressful as I thought it was going to be (manipulative evil children that lie and try to get away with *everything* aside, lol). The only thing that's really irking me about the job is the lack of structure. There's a very loose plan in place for every day but more often than not the plan has been messed with or completely tossed out (thanks to other teachers not showing up or the lazy teacher that shares a room with me trying to just baby-sit instead of teach). I guess I just need to come up with my own plans for what we do every day, but being the newbie I don't feel comfortable stepping on toes just yet. (Lazy Teacher has actually been very helpful in getting me started at the new job so I don't want to make her angry...)
Well I said there was only one thing about the new job I didn't like but that's not true, there's one other teeny little thing. I agreed to be called in for substitute teaching any time they needed someone at the school and so far I've been asked to sub twice in as many weeks. This isn't an entirely bad thing as more hours = more money but I just don't like the randomness of it. I can't really make plans or just relax when I'm off work because I'm afraid I'll get called in to sub. I guess I could just say no but how many times can I do that before they don't call me at all? (I do want the extra money seeing as I get crap for pay right now.) I guess I've just got to learn to deal with it.
I really do like the job. Even as my belief that children are the most evil creatures in all creation continues to grow I really can't help but like the job. There's just something about getting paid to push kids on the swing set that makes me smile.
