I’m Such a Crybaby

Things are jacked up at work right now. The Nazi-teachers want everything to be very controlled and punishing and my principal finally listened to them and told me to “tighten things up” because “the kids don’t like the other teachers” due to us “not being on the same page”. I told her that I didn’t want to work in a prison and spent the rest of the day home crying. Literally. Like 5 hours of crying. Nice adaptive behavior there, huh? I’ve been doing this crying crap for a month now, and it’s getting old. I don’t know what’s going on. I know I don’t like living here (but feel trapped), but I’m not that big of a crier. Weird.
After I talked to her for a while on the phone this afternoon, she came around some. I don’t think she knows how to handle such a diverse staff. It’s got to be really hard.
I just wish I could teach for a change. One of the teachers upstairs is teaching Sociology and I am so jealous. That’s what my degree is in. I just don’t know anymore….
