My Rose-Colored Glasses Have a Crack in Them

I am an optimist...almost all of the time. I see the world in a positive light and like to be around others who are the same. But today...darn it...my rosy world is a bit dreary. I have been looking for an administrative job that would take advantage of my (almost completed) master's degree. My refrigerator door is currently the home of several rejection letters. I think it's good for my kids to see that you can be rejected and the world goes on. Yeah, yeah, ENOUGH already.

Today I found out that a schmuck that I have coined the "golden boy" got a job...as an administrator. This guy is lazy, a bit nuts with his ideas, AND he doesn't have a degree in education. He is being alternatively certified (which I think is great IF you actually know something about education). He has very few years experience and it is all in the same area/grade level.

Apparently I am missing a value piece of equipment that is needed for an administrative job in this area...and I don't think I'm going to be growing this piece anytime soon. AGH!

You can run circles around "golden boy" and after working with him for a few months, they will strongly regret having hired him!!! Just hang in there... your place is out there. It just might not be ready for you yet! Your German-speaking kinder friend :)

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com
