And this makes Seven....

Yup....SEVENTH time. I got better for TWO days, count them, TWO, and then got sick all over again. Went to the doctor last week, had me say "ahhhhh" and told me it was a bacterial infection. Now, I'm no M.D., but I sure as hell know it takes more than saying "ahhhhh" to find out if a patient has a bacterial infection. But I took the antibiotics, then stopped them when I got better....I know I know....should not have done that. I am miserbale. And it is even worse because I have to up at 6 and teach all day while I am sick and unable to speak.

Speaking of teaching. Truly unhappy I am. Trying to make the best of it, but I hate to working under my potential and towarda a goal that I don't support. The school system sucks more now than when I was in high school. I have never seen such pointless classes in my life that serve no purpose for a student's education. I hate it. I can't justify it. The kids know better. And I won't lie to them just to support those in the Ivory Tower. If things don't change for next year, I don't forseee myself continuing in this job. I can;t be miserable, even for the money. First of all, I am a jack-of-all-trades and I get bored eventually. Being a theatre person, I am used to project-to-project stuff where things change. A steady job is rough unless it stimulates and challenges me. This job challenges me, but not in the way that is productive. I spend more time on discipline than on teaching. I have never before witnessed a more apathetic group of people in my life, and the parents are no better. And administration? Please.....they would sling a teacher's ass to protect their position and paycheck.

My only grace is getting the hell out of here in March to go to New York for a week. I need to go for a while to get refreshed and see if I have an out up there. Of course, I am a wee bit short on money, so look for a "Send the Camel to NY" fun on this site soon. Why not beg? I have no shame anymore.

My dishwasher is broken. Won;t get fixed until Friday. Standing water will be turning nastyyyyyyyy...now. Hot water tap in bathroom is cracked and broken off. Won't get fixed until Friday.

Things be hard ya'll. Tryin to be like Tupac and keep my head high

Was that convincing?
