Me and Job–We’re Like “This”

This week was a bit of a trial.

• Wednesday–I found out that if I want to continue my position next year, I have to do so with a 22% pay cut. 
• Thursday–Due to the storms that ravaged North Texas, the school that I teach at had no power, but the district decided that we’d still have class.  Until you’ve been trapped in the dark for 8 hours with a bunch of unhappy teenagers, you haven’t lived.

This is what most of my neighborhood looked like.  I’ve never seen this much destruction that wasn’t caused by a tornado.

• Friday–I walk into my classroom to find out that it had been broken into and vandalized.  The little creeps tore papers up, pulled a shelf full of books onto the floor, and broke a computer monitor.

I’m a little reluctant to go to work on Monday–I might find a body in my room or something equally bad.
