I friggin hate living in California. I just got out of college and I have been busting my behind to find a teaching job out here. I have been working with a school down on the central coast since March with every assurace that I should have a job. I have been down there twice for interviews, and I have been in contact with everyone in the know for months. For weeks I have been getting the "It should only be a couple of days bfore we sign the papers" line. Last week I went down to meet with the people again and was told that they would call me Monday. Well here it is Tuesday night and no word. Finall I get a call from someone completely out of the process telling me that the school decided Monday to put on a hiring freeze and that I was pretty much screwed. Now I understand that Sh!+ can happen, but it just really pissed me of to hear the the reason they froze hiring was that the state decided to hold off our High School Exit Exams for another year or so. SInce the kids don't have to pass the smart test anymore, the districts are all cutting their remediation classes. Seems that without some accoutability, the kids don't need to be smart. It also pissed me off that the principal that I had been working with didn't even have the balls to tell me I was out of luck himself. Now I'm left scrapping for work and I have to move in a week. Lukily I don't bank on anything and I have another couple of lines on work, but I hate having to fall back on my backup. I know we only have our fabulous govenor to thank for this cluster f^¢k, but I hate it when people jerk me around like this. Grrrrrr. Oh well, thanks for letting me rant. Didn't make me feel better though.
