another day, another dollar

Well, I only have 2.5 weeks left at my job in Lafayette, and I’m super thankful for that. The money is awesome at this job, and it really is a mostly easy job, but I’m really tired of being put in the middle of things that aren’t my place to answer. Its mostly a clash between the classroom teacher and the student teacher regarding her disability. *sigh* I’m just tired of both of them expecting me to side with them. I see both perspectives, and I can see why parents are complaining on certain issues, but it ISN’T MY PLACE to speak on that. Yes, I have my personal opinions on the situation, but I am there working as an INTERPRETER, not an evaluator. I don’t really have an available terp friend who I can go to for advice on how to handle the situation, and the last time I spoke with the interpreting agency head, she wrote a letter to the student teacher’s department head and vr counselor. So I’m going home and venting to Chris, but he’s having a hard enough time dealing with things right now. Its the 1 yr anniversary of when his dad died today, and he’s taking it pretty rough. So thanks to those of you who made it through this little rant. I just needed to get this all out.

Much love,
