(un) Happy Anniversary!
Tomorrow marks one year with a company that I have grown to despise on so many levels. I honestly feel sad, because I didn't ever expect to be there a year.
Tomorrow also marks my first real day as a "student" again - though this time a student that is also employed. I started the first of my two eudcation classes. Though this one looks to be like a lot of work, I'm excited and most importantly: since it is aimed at 3-5 year olds it will help me have some lesson plans/ideas ready and adaptable for Jesus Time (I teach that age group at Sunday School). Hopefully this means I won't be working on my plans at 9:00pm the night before - but if my friends that are teachers are any indication, that part doesn't ever change. ;)
Only God knows where I'll be February 1st, 2008, but I am praying for my sake (and for the sake of the relationships I try and maintain) it will not still be with my current employer.
P.S. Did you know after over a year of working with the boss (I worked with him when I was a temp at the previous company) he STILL can't spell my last name? The most recent butchering adds a "t" where no "t" belongs.
I wish I could say it depresses me, but in reality, it's expected, just like his conversation about me being available to work overtime starting ASAP [note: my company has to authorize overtime or they will not pay for it]. In retrospect, this is probably why he gave me the raise so I would be more willing to work extra hours.
