7 26 am

If my boss did what my kids claimed she did, then I just had one of the most unprofessional work experiences I've ever heard of. If they made the whole thing up to hurt me, then I was working in a much more hostile environment than I cared for. Either was, I decided there was a better use for my time to be doing anything besides being there any more. On Tuesday I said "I don't want to work here anymore" to my afternoon job. I offered to stay on until I was replaced but my boss said it was fine if that was my last day, so it was.

Time is suddenly unfolding before me, though I will certainly take another afternoon job if possible.

5 52 pm

I quit my job on Tuesday. On Wednesday, my former student vandalized one of the preschool classrooms. I found out this morning. I smiled and felt relieved. It's not my problem. It's lousy, but not for me. Tonight we're having an early game night. Yesterday I e-mailed all of the available afternoon teaching positions listed on craigslist and I've already been contacted by four people. All job represent a minimum $3/hour pay raise, so I'm not too depressed about how things turned out, even though I would have like to have stayed until next week and gotten my Thanksgiving paid vacation days. But I did sub for an additional hour today, so I don't think I'll be too out in the cold financially.
