Morning couch. Wow I don't log on for a day and a half and the couch adds 10 pages. I skimmed the posts to try to catch up on what was/is going on, but I'm sure I missed a lot by doing this.

I wazs supposed to work today, but the senior place called yesterday afternoon and asked if I could work Saturday instead of today. No biggie...this is just one of those jobs you have to be flexible with. Then I got another call from them yesterday evening asking if I could work Monday instead of Sunday. Wow...2 changes in less than 24 hours. :-P So now...since I am working Saturday, it looks like my cleaning day will have to be Sunday. Luckily it worked out where I had a weekend day to clean. Maybe karma (not sure if that is the right thing to say) helped me by allowing me to not have to work all weekend.

T went well yesteray...we talked about the copy of my journal that I left with T at the last appointment. She said it sounded like I got angry a few times. I agreed. She then proceeded to say that she was happy I did. What's with T and liking it when we gat angry? I probably should have asked...but I was afraid I probably didn't want to know the explaination. We also talked about how much I was working (I had to reschedule my Monday appointment to yesterday since I was asked to work on Monday). T thought it was good that I was working so much, as it gave me less time to dwell on things that make me anxious and helps me feel less stressed than i did last summer with having no job. Also talked about the prospective of applying to teaching jobs that are posted on the school board website. She was disappointed that there were a few that I qualified for that I was not applying for. I tried to explain that they were at the opposite end of the county (I live in the south end...they are in the north end..about 45-50 miles away). She said it might be worth it if it meant having a teaching job. But really I would have to use too much gas and be on the road for an hour+ one way...that's not something I am willing to subject myself to. I would rather stay an assstant and have a 3 mile/7 minute drive than be on the road for 2+ hours a day. T tried to convince me that I should apply for those positions, but I just told her we should agree to disagree. I have applied to jobs that are 25-30 miles away as I would be willing to make that drive, but none of them have called me for interviews anyways...so I would rather stay local (20-30 miute drives). There are 20+ schools within that area, so I still have a wide selection. T just didn't understand my reasoning. Oh well.

In other news...the emotional/behavioral (EBD) position at my current school posted...so I applied. A special education math also posted. I applied for it as well. The EBD one would require I teach out-of-field and have to obtain more certifications. I have all the certifications for the math one. I emailed my principal asking if he needed an updated resume as a requirement from the school board. He said he didn't since he already knew me and my credentials. He also said that once the ad "expires" (they are posted for 5 days in the summer), he and the assistant principals will review all the applicants and give me a call. Now just to keep my fingers crossed that I can maybe have one of those positions. I would love to stay at my current school since I already know most of the people there.

Well...I think I have blabbed enough, so I shall end here.

I hope everyone has a good day.
