May. 11th, 2006 10:57 pmGood evening ladies and gentlemen,
I am pleased to announce that Sara and I have a place to live next year. It's campus housing, it's much more expensive but we won't be out on the street.
In other news, I'm seriously considering leaving Sears. The whole place feels like a rapidly sinking ship. It's a bad sign when two Asistant Store Managers leave in the same week. There are changes in the works, and I'm no longer having fun at work. Before, I was having fun. But now, I dread going to work. There's a lot of pressure on the Leads to somehow turn the employee situation around. My old manager, Frank, was made to sign a paper saying that he'd hire two new people by the 15th or he'd get written up. That's absurd. Like it's his fault no one's applying. If they come to me with something like that, I really don't know what I'll do. It's totally unethical, really. I feel bad, because I've only been in the Lead position for less than a month, but the fact is, the place is really going downhill in a rush.
I'm considering Borders...anyone ever work there? Hear anything about how they treat their employees?
I'm still waiting to hear back from Plymouth High School, but I expect that will be sometime in the next three business days. If I get the Plymouth gig, I might just go find summer work at a golf course. Obviously, if I don't get a teaching job, I'm going to need to be employed through the fall...hence Borders.
It's been a stressful couple of weeks, obviously. I haven't been sleeping well, which has contributed to my stress level. Uncertainty in our housing wasn't helping either. Maybe things will clear up, I don't know. I just feel really tired. Worn down. Burned out. All of the above. Hopefully, things will get better.
Babies galore, lately. Our friends Jon and Angela had a daughter, Sabrina over the weekend and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
aggiebell90and wamfofhad Birddogette today. Congrats to all!
(I want one...in a hypothetical sort of way. Our lives are way too stressed right now to even consider the real thing.)
(And the Red Sox win! And the Red Sox win! 2 of 3 from the damnyankees.)
