Attitude is EVERYTHING

Ok, this girl needs to find a job. Quitting my job was really not what I wanted, but there was no way I could have continued to work there. I have never in my life felt so much tension and complete disrespect. And I think that when you wake up in the morning, you should want to go to work. I dreaded going and not because of the actual job I was doing, but because I dreaded being around my boss. I still just don't understand how someone can be that mean for no reason. And I could not stand the way she talked to the children. I mean, at one point we had a child who was dropped off in the morning crying because his mom had just left and she tells the boy "Suck it up and stop crying." He was four! Four! And she is the director of this school?

My friend still works there and has told me that things are only getting worse there since I left. In fact, she told me that when she was talking to another co-worker she found out that before I started working there they had 3 other teachers quit without notice just prior to me being hired. And in the short 3 or so months I worked there, we lost 3 employees.

I guess the 2 of the ladies that work the front office actually confronted the director and told her to be nicer. But still that didn't help for long, a parent took her daughter out of the school and told my ex-boss to her face, "Your mean." I hope that one day she realizes just how mean she is and that she realizes that her attitude is the reason employees keep quitting on her. No one wants to work in that kind of environment. Its sad because, life is short and its not a good way to live when your always so mean to other people. It reminds me what my middle school's motto was: "Attitude is everything." I didn't realize just how true that is until I worked at that school. If anything, that is what I took away from that experience.

  Anyway, I need to find a job soon. My husband is deployed and working hard, and between paying bills and paying off debt, we are not saving as much as either one of us had hoped. If I can find a job at least I can put more towards saving.

I have to say I'm a little scared though after this experience. But hopefully I can find something soon.

In good news, I just looked at my DOM. We are getting closer girls!!!

Deployment doesn't have anything on us.....We got this!!
