I am exploring options / myLot

I am finding that this year at school is more than I can handle. I am not liking it as well, so I am exploring options. I put in applications through Indeed from time to time. Usually I get no response or I get an automated response. The one I put in yesterday morning garnered both a telephone call and an e mail. Unfortunately I was gone with Bob when the call came in. Their e mail asked for a response and was not an automated one. So I responded. Hopefully they will call me back after work on my cell. Just thought I would let you guys know what is happening in my life. Today is the coldest morning we have had all year. Brrrrrr.

As I put things in perspective, I may just have to wait for someone else to either not get renewed or to be let go. I can handle some of the stuff.

I hope they do get in touch with you. I found that working in a school because less enjoyable as the years went by.

My real issue is with a co worker who is in the wrong job, and it makes me nuts. There is a kiddo that is problematical, but there is hope that eventually he will be easier to work with. The co worker will not.

@GardenGerty I hate when that happens. Invariably it is someone that you have to work closely with.

I hope it is something you'll like more. Maybe in a few hours you'll want to go back, but if you are burnt out you just can't help it.

It was not a good fit from my point of view, but it answers some questions I had. I also was not impressed because this HR person was somewhere not in this state and could not answer the questions I had. I am good enough at what I do to be picky and choosy.

We just had strong rain here this afternoon, glad I brought my umbrella. Good luck with that. Have a nice day.

I am one of those strange people that would rather deal with being wet than try to use an umbrella.

Good luck. It's a shame your job is proving a bit difficult.

As I ponder what is bugging me, I see that one thing is a coworker who is in the wrong position, and the other is a kid that will eventually grow out of his issues as we work with him. I do know that I will probably try to find year around work for my own peace of mind, though.

You are welcome. Sometimes my life is pretty boring and plain.

I learned a lot, but that company is "too corporate" for me. It does let me know what I will not be doing.

I will either need to find something more to my liking or learn to like what I have.

I at least need to explore my options so that I can have year round work. Summer gets kind of lean working for schools.

I hope it's good news for a different job for you. You know calls only come in when you're not available.

Cold here too. I'm loving it.

We connected a lot through e mail. This is a corporate recruiter and is no where near Kansas and could not answer some of my questions. My conclusion is that this particular company is too corporate for me.
