Never A Dull.....

After 6 years of working my ass off at Holbrook in my split, I was told that my room will close due to low enrollment, budget crises (what's new in Hamtramck) and I am low seniority of classroom teachers so I will move. Some positions have been created for Title and I will apply for a math position...depends on their mood and how bad they need to place me and fill the position as to whether I am qualified or not. On top of that I found out today that I need surgery ASAP on my foot to prevent further damage caused from a bone spur that has pushed my whole foot out of alignment and it is going to get worse. A cast, time off, what happened to my care-free summer? I want to come out of this smelling like a rose but I am perplexed, confused, disenchanted, overwhelmed and exhausted to have to do this in the middle of October. Matthew & Dana are in Washington DC and Brian is flying home from Orlando tonight so they will all be together for a couple of days. I know there are way worse things and I have seen a few this week alone, but I am so frustrated with teaching and being jacked around. Seniority counts for nothing. I am sick of crying this week and after 11 years of being the one who is dedicated to my kids and my jobs and putting up with the shit I have had to endure. I know I have a lot of work ahead, closing my room, moving 11 years worth of stuff and a new position. This is not fun anymore. And not fair. Why aren't the newbies, the snot-nosed kids having to go thru these moves and unsettling bs???? I have paid my dues, they have not. It should be them giving up their positions. I am bitter and not understanding why..it is what it is but I don't have to like it.
