New Job

It has been about a million days since my last transmission. I think I am finally ready to get back to the land of the living.

Started my new job with the school district last month and things are going...hectic fabulous exhausting as well as can be expected, I suppose.

When I started the job I knew I was going to work with low readers. I knew there would be a lot to learn. I knew there would be difficulties.

What I DIDN'T know is that 2 weeks into the school year it would be determined that there were too many special needs kids and not enough staff to adequately cover them during reading and writing.

So what do they decide to do? Throw me into the mix. Mind you, I have had ZERO training for working with these types of kids. And while these are some awesome kids they do tend to keep a person on her toes. And now, two weeks into it I have found that my toes are VERY tired.

At least I have stopped taking their behavior personally. The first week I thought there was no way I could make it. Now I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. It might just be the light from the oncoming train that's about to crash into me but no matter, it's still a light, right?

Back to the salt mines.
