Shake it Out

LOVE FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE!!!!!!!



...What I don't love is losing my job...

Private school directors are a crooked, greedy, insensitive bunch. It seems unfair to make such an overarching judgement... but I really don't think I've seen any examples of directors that don't fit into this group.

Its a very common occurance for employees to go months without getting paid, to never get paid, to get let go for no reason, to get cheated on their taxes, and to get screwed over in other ways. Its all about the money and image no matter who is stepped on in the process.

And so it seems my school needed someone to cover them for a few months while they waited to get another more permanent teacher in, and I was an easy target as I was already in the country, already had a visa, and didn't need a flight till a few months in. And now that a new teacher is coming and I need a flight home for christmas they have decided to "let me go"- no official warnings, no real reasons (I've never been late, never drunk or hungover which a lot of teachers in other schools regularly get away with, my kids are well behaved, do their work, and like me.... didn't think there was anything wrong with that!). Super.

There goes my travel plans, money saving plans, relationship plans....

Alberta it is then.
