So, another horrible teaching job. Not for the same reasons, but rather for the reason that teacher had not implemented any routines, procedures or behavior management systems. Their wasn’t even a class daily schedule posted. On top of that I got the call at 8:00 and the job started at 8:05. Next time, I think I will turn down the job. On top of all that, the school itself was organized weird, I didn’t like it all. But hey, it money in the bank right?? Right!
Today I spent the majority of the day trying to get the last bits of paperwork together in order to get my NM license and to get everything ready to apply for teaching positions once I submit my application. I’m just about ready to pluck out my eyebrows in frustration. Once again it was roadblock after dead end after u-turn. Ugh.
To top that off I had to contact the high school Ducky went to in HI – as they never sent her records or transcripts. Her school here has requested them 3 times (according to them), when she first enrolled, back in December when she met with her counselor, and then last week when they were getting ready for registering. When I called last week, no response (what a shocker, I’m getting used to that!). So I called again today and they claim, ‘they no remember any request at the beginning of the year for her’ (like they remember every single request that comes in through there) and that her school never requested them. They just requested them last week for the first time. Uh huh. Sure. So I ask if they are going to send them or what. They reply oh yah, sure we send them. Good. Can you fax her transcripts as they need her transcripts so they register her for her senior year – currently they show she need 20 credits next year to graduate. Now Ducky’s a good student, but she’s not that good! :sigh: So I ask them to fax the transcripts and then forward the rest of the records by regular mail. Her reply? What other records we have here? Ummm… I don’t know, that’s your job, not mine. :rolls eyes: Eventually we establish she will fax everything, so to clarify I ask “you’ll fax this today or tomorrow at the latest right?” — she talks to someone else in the office and the finally decided that yeah, they can probably do that.
Yay, that was how my entire day went. Calls, emails and wasted trips. Honestly. I should have vacuumed – which I didn’t do because I was busy trying to get the rest of this stuff done. If I would have vacuumed however, at least I would have felt like I accomplished something!
I’m worn out from all the rigmarole. I think I’ll hit the sack early — and accomplish some sleeping! Muawhahhahahahahhaahha! Work tomorrow – and then camera club (I think). At lest I have something to look forward to!

I use to be a sub-secretary for the school district here in town, so I know what it’s like getting those last minute calls. Sorry it was a bad class.
What a mess with getting Ducky’s transcripts. I hope they do their job and send them soon. Keep us posted!

I’m sorry your having to deal with all that b******t. Hopefully that lady will stay true to her word and REMEMBER to fax that stuff. OY! and of course hopefully you’ll get your license thinger fixed too. Nothing can ever go busy ah?
Sorry the teaching situation is so crappy right now, I’m sure soon enough though you’ll be in your own class and you’ll love it then. How soon do you think that might happen?
