A Bend In The Road Of Recovery

A way in which I can vent my spleen about things that are really only important to me.

One Step

I'm one step closer to achieving my teaching certificate. Last week, I sent a letter to the Nebraska Department of Education requesting an appeal for declining my original application. Today, I've sent out the two sets of fingerprints that are needed to complete my application for my teaching certificate. Let's cross the fingers in hopes that all goes well!

Let's see...what else? Oh yeah, I start the David's Bridal job next week Monday - the 20th. I'm not excited about it at all. I mean, it's work, and it's good, but it's not what I want to be doing. I'm still applying for teaching positions because I just can't stand the thought of doing retail again. I get to have a full time position with David's Bridal, and I don't feel too bad about not wanting to stay there because, in the end, I went to school to become a teacher - not a salesperson. You know what I mean?

The other thing that's got me riled up is that the guy who wrote the training manual I've been working on called me last week and said that he'd like the chapter to stay pretty close to the original product. What's the point in having me do this damn thing if all you want is the same lame stuff that you sent me in the beginning? Why did I even do any of the work at all? I don't know. Maybe I'm being dumb and overly sensitive about my work, but what's the use in having someone alter it if you just want it to stay the same?

Anyway, that's my rant and rave for now. Write if you like! I'm always looking for diversion. :)

yeah, retail seems more like a starting point than a finish to me as well. Hopefully the job will get you by while the application for the teaching cert is in process.

they need to fingerprint you to become teacher? What are they checking for? make sure you're not on a terror watch list? it's not like you have to handle hazardous materials for a teaching job. unless you consider throwing physics textbooks at kids hazardous. That just seems wrong to me for some reason. You should go to the zoo and get a monkey's fingerprints and see what they say to that.
