I'm cleaning and organizing (actually, I'm not that diligent about the organization part - as I'm running out of steam, I'm starting to toss stuff into any box it fits, rather than separating by subject, type, etc.) today. Naturally, after about 4 hours straight, I'm due for a break.
Hence, this post.
It's tough to plan this year. My district is cutting teachers, and, until I get a contract in my hot little hand, I'm going to assume that I won't be back. I've heard nothing about contracts, so far. [NOTE: I'm not alone here - NO ONE has any knowledge at present. The last word from the district is that more cuts were necessary.] When I called the main HR office, they said, "Unfortunately, we can't give you that information, as we don't know at this time,"
That's a lot of help.
So, it sounds as though the best thing to do is to sign up at unemployment on Thursday pm, then start beating the bushes for another job - just in case. I'm actually in a better position than most - I have licenses in 3 states, and am certified in multiple areas - Chemistry, Physics, Computers.
It could be worse.
