Post Script

I forgot to mention something that I think is a huge precipitating factor in how I have been feeling as of late. I currently work in a district where it has become common practice to non-renew everyone who is non-tenured and then place all the staff who have become tenured and then open the remaining positions and have those who were previously employed reapply for their current job. This idea is so stupid to me. I don't want to have to jump through all the hoops just to get my current job back.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I want a job. But do I want a caseload of 82 kids just so I can say I know the facilities, the staff and the kids? I don't know that that's something I want. I thought I wanted out if I ever had to apply for a job as a speech path again.

(See Stacie. Everyone has their days when they don't want to have to work for a living. But we do it, because we don't want to be told what we can and can't do with the funds we have.)

So, the stress of worrying about that, which I have never really vocalized until now, is probably a HUGE factor in how I am feeling lately. I don't want to be unemployed. That's for sure.
