OMG! What A Day!

Today was a travesty of a day! In one fell swoop, I was told thank you very much for a wonderful job over the past three years as the Technology Coach in the Classrooms for the Future program but with the demise of the program your personal services are no longer needed in that capacity and someone else has been assigned to do the job! That wasn't bad enough! This was said in front of the entire staff (perhaps 150 people including teachers, ancillary staff, and office personnel) during an inservice faculty meeting to talk about building changes.

It would have been nice to have been told prior to the event so that shock and dismay was not evident in my demeanor throughout the rest of the day! Above all things, I try to remain a professional. I had a real hard time with this today!

When I was getting Chemo Therapy, my husband would say every time as I was leaving for a treatment - "Play nice." I will certainly have to play nice with that happening in the back of my mind! But first I will beat the dickens out of the poor pillow into which I have been crying! "Bad word! Bad word! Bad word!"

Life is not fair and I clearly understand that. I still have a wonderful job with an extraordinary group of people! But that doesn't help the hurt.

And that is how I feel today!


PS Yep! Just as I thought! It was a very bad day!
