No joke I’m ready to quit. There’s some shady s—- going down. My supervisor “resigned” today but general consensus is it was not voluntary. Between that, the assistant director being a raging power hungry beyotch, and the director being a corporate stooge desperate to make sure we “look good” on paper…I dunno. I’m not down with this. We are not student focused right now, we are business focused, and I don’t like it.

I’m considering starting over at a new university to get my teacher of students with disabilities endorsement and POSSIBLY look into becoming a teacher again in a few years. I could probably handle being a teacher in my current school but not under the assistant director’s iron fist. I’d have to choose carefully. Ideally I could get into my old high school, that is a true non profit school run off of state funding and big donations and endowments. I wouldn’t mind driving an hour if I was getting paid a teacher’s salary. I just don’t know if my mental health would allow it. If I do start at a new university (which I’d have to, I did so poorly at my old uni that it’s better to leave and start over) it would take me 2.5 years to complete the endorsement anyway. Enough time to still think about it and if I get my endorsement, then at least I have it should I choose to move on.

This was day two of rage. I calmed down by the time I got home though and I think tomorrow I’m going to spend the morning cleaning so it’ll all be good.
