Am I Blue

In a nutshell -
I'm job-hunting again. Probably no surprise, but I can finally blog about it because I told my principal the news on Friday, so it's out there.

I applied for a position at one school, a charter school. I spent a long time on the application, and I got my hopes up because I knew I would be good at it and today I got a rejection via email. "Unfortunately, you are not selected as a finalist for the position."

And now I'm in a dark place again.

I can tell myself it's a good thing - the commute would have been awful (about 1 hour), it was an English job (and I need to be doing theater), and it was hardly a sure thing; but I went and got my hopes up and the employment thing is just looking bleaker and bleaker. As it is for everyone.

So, today was a bad day, and I've lost my joie de vivre again. Let me know if you see it anywhere.

  2. I found your joie de vivre cowering behind the jar of hard candy in my elderly neighbor lady's place. Luckily, I talked it out and it's riding the rails back to you! Be prepared for a reunion any day now. And make sure to have the following on hand:
    1- chocolates
    2- butterfly net
    3- antibiotics (Yes, your joie de vivre's gone a wee bit feral.)
