olivia_suttonHi all,
I don't know how to start this entry 'cause I still upset and kinda' in shock. I wasn't actually fired, but I have no classes to teach next term either. I think my school is trying to force me to quit. What my boss has offered me is sort of a hands-on assistant role. And what I'd be doing is all stuff I actually LIKE doing: working as a lab assistant, being present for open lab hours, working in a new "student success coach" program, etc. All of which I'll probably like, and there will be some pay involved, -- but I was hired as a teacher. And, after ALL the work I've done for my current class -- developing slides, developing lesson plans, writing lectures, everything from scratch - no pre-made anything, like every other class I've taught at my institution, I felt it's unfair to take that away from me -- it's also not right to offer MY stuff to the next instructor who comes along.
So it's time to dust off the resume/Vita, and get out there applying like crazy. And I'll probably find something, maybe even something better, because I always seem to get back on my feet after one of these little job-related disasters. It's just I'm getting a little tired of never being in a job more than a year or two -- especially when it's never been my fault, not really.
And I liked some of the people I worked with, especially my boss or direct supervisor. And I liked a lot of my students too.
Waaaahhh.
