So Stinkin’ Frustrating!*

I know I blabber on and on here about my irritation with the job market here in this economically depressed excuse for a city in which I live..

I know that you are probably sick of hearing about it.

Sorry, I can’t help it.

Many of you know about the job at the Detention Center that I was basically told would be mine if all went well during my alternative school long term sub position.  Well, just so you all know, i had already, pretty much decided that although all went well at the alternative school, that alternative education isn’t really for me, and I really didn’t want to teach at a jail anyway.

However, to be offered would have been nice.  To have been given the second interview that I was told I would receive would have been nice.  The interview for which the DIRECTOR of alternative education services, was telling me what to look at to prepare for.  Anyway, it would have been nice to actually see this interview occur.

However, folks, I did not.

Instead, today as I opened my mailbox upon returning home from summer school, I saw an envelope witht he Boces insignia on it. Hmmmm, I wonder what that could be..

well, it’s a letter informing me that they’ve made a decision on a candidate for the job.. and it’s not me..

Now mind you, I didn’t WANT the job anyway, but this is the backwards way in which things work around here.  I guarantee that someones great nephew just decided that he would like a job.. or whatever and they were given it.  Because the job was NEVER posted anywhere!

AAAHHHHHH!!!

So Stinkin’ Frustrating!

(Charlotte… here we come… in about a year that is)

Anyway, that italian restaurant that I applied to before was trying to get ahold of me.. they actually called Friday I believe.

I SO don’t want to work there… I think it’s about time for that part of my life to be over….

but I SO want to eat, shop, and feed and clothe my children..

so maybe i’ll call them back..

I keep thinking I should.. but I just can’t bring myself to do it.
