Yay to the employed!
« on: August 24, 2005, 09:23:35 AM »
I wasn't sure if this went in Happy Things, but I'm too excited for it.  I am now one of the employed!  I got a job yesterday morning at an elementary school teaching 2nd grade!!!  School starts today, and everyone at the school has been really helpful and understanding.  I have enough supplies to get me through today.  Wonder what I'm doing tomorrow. . .

Anyway, Yay!!

Geez, they hired you a day before school started? What kind of preparation is that?

Well, glad you're enjoying yourself.

My mother was an elementary school teacher.

Well, it's actually the parents' fault, cause they didn't register their kids on time.  Therefore, the district didn't have the right number of kids per classroom till the day before (this is quite common and really annoying).  So the school panics and has to hire another teacher because the second grade class that was going to have 18 students at Pre-Registration time, now has 31 students!

That's a bad thing. Nothing can be effectively learned in a class of 31.

Perhaps there's some evil plot having to do with the overabundance of second graders.

My son started second grade on Monday, and because there were so many second graders, they had to take all four classes and put them in the school next door to the school he's actually attending. Wasatch is the elementary school he's actually attending. Right next door is Oakridge, a campus that's mostly used for special ed classes, but they've got a few rooms free. So now Wasatch is beginning its evil plan to assimilate Oakridge. It begins with the second graders. Resistance is futile.

Anyway, so now he has to walk a mile (figuratively) to get to the playground to play with the other kids. But at least there's a bathroom nearby. And it helps that the classroom is on the second floor with plenty of windows and the occasionaly Young Ambassadors rehersal going on outside their door.

Congrats! Tek on getting employment.

To Old Locks--
Oakridge is a nice school. Though it may not be operating for much longer because the State doesn't feel it is necessary.

And my mom and her five siblings all went to Wasatch. I guest taught at Wasatch once, the class I taught had over fifty kids in it.

I am employed now too.

Yay!

Which makes it easier to stay in Provo and finish my last semester at BYU. I have a job I think I will enjoy--it is busy enough to keep me stimulated but not so high stress I want to poke me eyes out with sharp pencils.

I am working as a publicity writer for BYU's performance groups--like Young Ambassadors, Living Legends, Vocal Point, yada yada. It's pretty neat because I love the performing arts (one of the reasons I got the job). I get to go to four shows for free and take a date.

I could take EUOL, but I may raffle off the extra ticket to the highest bidder (start building my nest egg, you know). Any takers?  ;)

Congrats to the employed. I wish to join your ranks one day but until then, I continue to stay in school, hiding from America's workforce. Eventually, I'll have so many college degrees or debt that someone will have to hire me, right?

Well I need a job, but fortunately my husband has finally found a good one and so I can take a little time and find a job that doesn't totally suck.

Does being a plasma donor count as being employed?
