Got a part-time job! First day of the rest of my life! Need some pawsitive thoughts!

I have been there and know what it is like and how you have been feeling....I have been following this thread..I was a teacher also.....I am hoping this works out for you.....remember no matter what.....do not lose the faith....as long as you keep
trying, something will turn up.....

Thank you, Lillycat. I am trying to keep the faith. My favorite phrase. Faith Manages.

Hey, at least you got something for the time being! Things are looking up. Really hope you do find something a little more permanent though.

You sound like my friend "S" who said something similar "baby steps". I just need to make rent, car payment stuff, electric and water, cat food, and medicines. The rest I can work out.

Thanks for the good wishes, Alyser

Note: I might have to go into default on a few things. Credit card company was nice. They were pleased I am taking this head on. Charter communications was not. Wouldn't let me cancel the contract or even just keep internet. Said I would have to pay a fine. About 70 dollars. I might do that. hmmm It's one time and cheaper. It's the TV that's expensive. Might call my car people and see what can be done. Maybe pay interest only. Actually loss of income is insured, but I'm not sure it would apply if I resigned. Although I had a good reason.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, Anne. Prayers for a job soon! {{{hugs}}}

2 blocks per day. about 3.5 hours. It's an B-B and Skinny schedule. For non-educators, that means that some courses are offered on alternating days all year for 90 minutes each. Freshman courses are offered at 45 minutes each every day. Classes are blocked together to facilitate scheduling.

This is half-pay. It's still good pay. Way better than minimum wage. I might get to sub in the mornings when teachers have to be out part day.

o.k......thanks for letting me know. I was a first grade teacher ......so was just wondering.....it sounds the best so far.....and nice that you may be able to pick up a little subbing too.....
