No, I just told you to chilax, and you came out guns a blazing because I called you 'dude'. Stop being a thin-skinned moron and maybe we won't get into arguments like this. I get it, you have low self-esteem. That doesn't mean that any critical response I make to your posts is a direct insult to you. So chill the fuck out.

Wow. Personal insults followed by saying you weren't trying to insult me, how very credible an argument. And yes, that was sarcasm.

If you want to continue this, PM me. I'm done letting you insult me in public.

Gawd, today just made me hate Mondays even more. Took a couple of days off last week, just to have the time off and recharge a little, and come back to work today to find it looking like someone emptied their trash bin in my workspace. So much garbage between the alarm panel and the back door that it had to be moved just to get to the door to unlock it. Freight that should have been processed on Friday waiting on my today, idiot that filled in for me (not my choice but I keep trying to train him...) created enough problems in two days that I had to take the first three hours of the day just to straighten his crap out, plus, still get my allotment of work done. Which I did, 'cause I'm just that good.

I hate Mondays.

Lets remember folks, it's a rant thread, not a "I am presenting argument for deconstruction and possible attacks on my person".

Let it go. Move on. Rant on. ;)

And no back legs. :p
Apparently the shirt sold out in about an hour... So now I'm mad at myself for sleeping earlier than usual yesterday. Usually I'm up until 1am, and new shirts are up by 11pm. Slept around 10:30 last night, sooooo blargh. Oh well~

Poppa was supposed to be going home this week. Suddenly he got his fever back and cannot go yet. Then my grandma--his ex-wife--got admitted for the second time this year. She's been fighting some illnesses herself recently. My mom's not letting anyone help because her parents are "her own responsibility." I understand why she's taking all this on by herself; if I were the only child in town I probably would too. But I wish she'd understand that we're all family and I want to help. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow whether she wants me to or not so she can go home and shower and just be away for a while. Between their suffering, my mom's constant stressed state, and my unsuccessful search for employment (a much smaller problem, but still a problem), this month is not going so well.

A lot of teachers have told me that I'm very likely to get a job RIGHT before school, because teachers want to hold onto their benefits for as long as possible.

As it stands right now the only job lead I have is doing custodial work for the school board. I'm not above cleaning things, but it would hurt a little bit since I'm trained to teach in those buildings. I still have some time before summer, though.

You already play ukulele! You're perfect for the opening at my son's school. :D

You are also getting into the field at the only time that it is not a guaranteed job offer. Just today the little school district here announced 24 teacher layoffs.

There were layoffs here, too. :( I'm fine with continuing substituting until something comes up. I'm just concerned about the summer. But yes, I've contacted some principals. I've left resumes at almost every school where I've worked, too, and I leave my private tutor cards everywhere. I know something will come up eventually. Right now my biggest concern is having something to do during June and July so I can pay rent.

I checked local temp agencies a couple of weeks ago for clerical positions and other things. Most of them require experience that I don't have. I also checked Quik Quarter and have applied at about 8 places this week. I check both of those frequently since they tend to change often. There are more places I'm going to go this week after I get over this stomach virus. Should be totally normal by tomorrow. :) A few restaurants and cafes have openings as well... fingers crossed.

Stupid freaking water company shut off my water yesterday. I had paid them 2 weeks ago, and they still shut it off. I had to burn a day off because they don't come in till 9am and it took another 2 hours to get some one out to turn it back on.
