Hmmm
So I haven't even checked lj in 42 years seems like. I got a new job. I am now teaching ceramics at a high school called Falcon. We are the Falcon Falcons. They're clever here.
Hehe but I love it. So much better for me, can you only imagine? I started here on January 14th. I teach 3 intro to ceramics classes, 2 higher level (don't let the name fool you) ceramics classes and 1 graphic design class (no you're not missing something, I know nothing about graphic design). My day is so much less stressful and I never have to deal with a 2nd grader again (til I have one).
My drive to work is now about 35 minutes, it was 25 before so it's not that much worse. Falcon is the little, yet growing podunk town to the east of the Springs. Most of my kids live on farms or in new housing developments so they are good, naive, and hard workers for the most part.
I am definitely much happier and much less, mmm resentful. I did go to college to do this, not wipe tables after 5 year olds. The building is brand new, just opened in October. I have 2 big electronic kilns and 4 potter's wheels. My classroom is huge like 50' x 30' with tall ceiling. My department head, who teaches mainly drawing and painting, is 27 and she's freaking fantastic. We made fast friends, you all would like her a lot. She has gotten me hooked on bloody mary's haha.
Now Kyle is getting figgety. He hates his job and wants to quit, except he signed a contract so he's stuck at least until May. But he's pretty miserable...surprisingly he's not really bringing it home. He has been much sweeter and sensible to me since he started his anxiety medicine. He has been doing a lot of escapism with his band. You should look them up on Myspace....band name is Buffalo Beard. I really like them and I'm just about ready for him to make some money doing it to justify the band practicing in our basement twice a week.
What else, what else. I got kicked out of a Chili's the other night. We had a really drunk idiot in our party who made a pass at Sarah (dept head) so I went to the back to get our tab since horrible waitress was no where to be found. He pretty much told me we were cut off (even though I was the one asking for the tab) because we had been there for several hours, drinking slowly mind you. So he really pissed me off and I threw the last centimeter of my beer on the floor. He really pissed me off. Then this guy across the bar started talking crap at me and I went over and yelled at him. It was all-round very much non-susanne behavior. But pms and that idiot at our table, plus the dipshit manager and the heckler really didn't go over well. Haha I don't think I'm allowed to go back.
We have parent/teacher conferences tonight so I have to be here till 8pm which is crappy. School starts at 7:10...Long day. I miss you ladies. I am sad I did not get to share all this with you as it was happening (the job as much as the beer throwing) . mwah
