teaching

What I didn't mention in my last post is that I was laid-off AGAIN. Argh! I had Monday off, I was laid off Tuesday morning. This time I didn't panic. My bills are paid, I have some money in my bank acocunt and tax season is coming up.

Being laid-off again got me to thinking. This is the second office job I have had since teaching. I can do books, I am pretty good at doing books, but I HATE it. I hate being in the office all day, I hate having little interaction with people and I hate having a job where I feel like I make no difference. So, I have decided to get back into teaching. It isn't that easy. My teaching license is not valid in KY. I am going to have to take more classes or get my Master's degree in order to hold a KY license. HOWEVER, I can get an emergency license for subbing. IF I can find a full time job, I can get a temporary license and teach while I take the classes needed for my KY license. So I finished my paperwork to sub here in Lexington. I should be eligible to start subbing next week. I am hopeful that as I sub I can get my name and rep (as a fantastic teacher) out there. I can make contacts and hopefully find a job teaching. I read this fantastic quote on facebook, I think it has always applied to me, but especially now.
