A gift horse

So I know that I have spent much time complaining about not having a job. So, it should go without saying that in getting a job, I should just be happy. But, me being me, I have some things about my new job that I don't really care for.

1. I feel isolated. I feel like an outsider to the special ed staff that already exists. I don't know if this is because I am the only married one with children.

2. I don't like micromanagement.

3. I don't like a complete lack of direction either.

4. I don't like to be bored.

5. I don't like to feel like I am just being used for manual labor in the move to the new space.

6. I don't like that my first paycheck was not correct and that there was $0 withheld for federal. What's up with that anyway? I didn't even think that was humanly possible.

7. I don't like that there isn't a union to protect me from any errors in my paycheck (like if they say that they didn't promise me the salary they said that I would be getting).

8. I don't like that I haven't gotten a contract yet.

But to not be totally negative, here's a couple things I like:

1. I like that it is relatively close to where I live.

2. I like that we start later than at my last school. (But I don't like the being there so much later part...oh well, this is supposed to be the positive part.)
