Happy early birthday to me:)

So Eric was so excited about the laptop that he got me for my birthday that he gave it to me early and I am currently laying in my bed on the internet!!!! I love technology!!! I was working part time teaching this past year and was one of the many teachers that lost their jobs. I hope I will get to stay part time for next year but we will just have to see how budget issues end up next year. I had to laugh. We had an end of the year luncheon with all the teachers and support staff. About 5 teachers and maybe 3-5 support staff people will not be coming back next year as of the day of the luncheon give or take a few. So this is what is so comical about the teaching professions. Most jobs where you get laid off you get severance. Well my severance package was a $10 gift card to chipote!! WoW! Don't get me wrong I love to teach and was greatful to get to work and hope to work next year, but WOW, really? Seriously? Seriously? Good luck to all the unemployed teachers and support staff surviving on that one.

Ah, bummer you got axed! At least you can drown your sorrows in a burrito bowl! :-) I hope they pick you up next year - I'm sure the kiddos will all miss you if they don't!
