Congratulations!

I tried to take on a permanent teacher role for life science (7th graders), and it did not go for me well either. I had to resign after 3 days, or I was going to end up in a psych hospital. How teachers do it for the measly pay, I honestly don't know. I submitted the paperwork to substitute teach this year because I figured it would be less stressful. I've submitted for a lot of clerical jobs, but when you're 40 and have no work history, it just doesn't look good. The little work history I have, the people I knew from grad school, even my advisor, who knows where they are now? And I did part-time work as an undergrad in the library, but I was so young and naive, I didn't think to keep any sort of record of the department, my boss, my co-workers.
