I still laugh at the fact that H puts his personal stuff (actually our personal stuff like bills) locked away at work. And to think he has a few bags of clothes in the trunk--they are like gypsies!!! Makes for a quick escape from where they are at, I suppose.

Oh, I think I mentioned about a week ago that I had written to my boss about my job being posted on the district web site and asked if I was released of my duties?
I never heard from her but yesterday, I received a xerox copy of a letter from the district dated July 11th, telling me they were not renewing my "contract." No reason given.
Well, I know why and it was because I sympathized with a mother who was worried about her child and how she was going to handle the pending divorce. Yep, I was told that was a no-no as I shared confidential information with a parent.
I know it is stupid..........
My H thinks it is ridiculous, too.

It's ridiculous, really... What happened to old-fashioned compassion?
I finally told my mom what happened. She used to work for another school district about 35 miles from here. She said this really does happen. I explained the situation to her and she said even though I did nothing wrong, you have to watch everything that comes out of your mouth. I told her it was not even in front of kids and she said it is like that here.
Not my kind of place to work in. It is as if we have robots programmed walking around the schools.

I know what you mean SF. We half jokingly call my son's middle school "the Stepford school" because they all are expected to behave in a rigid manner with no deviation and walk certain ways, talk certain ways, dress a certain way and this is a public school!

Back where I grew up, in the midwest, it was not that way at all. My mom was very active as PTA president when I was in grade school and my teachers were my dad's grade school teachers as well.
And everyone was very nice and almost like a family. None of this stuff that happens today.

You are so right, none of that stuff happens these days. I remember when we were growing up kids got paddled if they got out of hand, now the teachers get sued!!! I had a teacher who washed a boys mouth out with soap b/c he said a dirty word in the 5th grade. She would have been fired if that had happened in this day & time. (the boy had crooked teeth too, soap got stuck)LOL
I'm so sorry about your job but you seem to be okay with it. I'm glad you H is very supportive!!!
I haven't heard from my H since Monday night. Hopefully, he is doing a lot of thinking.

Midwest is the best.
I hope you find a better nicer place to work.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
I really miss the midwest--four seasons and lots of other stuff.
The job market is pretty tough right now but something will come along.
I wanted to mention something on my thread. So many know my faith but I also wanted to say that I become down and out like so many others here.
For example, H is choosing to distance himself from us this week and this is when the devil works so hard on me that i start to feel like i just want to rip him apart.
and this is when they do the most thinking, when they are quiet.
but at least i recognize that the devil is hard at work and i try to combat it by praying which helps but it is a real battle for me this week. i certainly don't feel this bad when i am in constant contact with him.
i just wanted to say, i get frustrated too, but i pull myself back up and get back on track.
S17 is really working hard. He really needed this job and needed a change in his lifestyle.
he will be working full time and the last few nights, he comes home, just relaxes for awhile, goes to bed, starts another day. He is pretty tired.
today is a private grand opening for families with free meals,but the girls and i cannot attend unless H comes by to pick us up. not sure if he will even come all the way up here for this--i kind of doubt it.
