Yep, I turned in my resignation. And it felt good.
In one week on of my students brought a gun to class. And another who was a "person of interest" in a murder case involving 4 teens who attend the school I teach at. The "person of interest" decided to follow me around the campus last week and repeatedly threaten me. According to him he was joking.
Since I decided that I wasn't going to finish out the year and have since applied elsewhere, I decided that it wasn't just worth waiting on a job offer. The good news is that I have an interview for the Adult GED program I applied to with the department of corrections.
About the only downside to the day was when I got home and had a beer it had skunked on me. However, since I usually have beer it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

I hope you get a job that you really want! Well ideally I'd be a stay at home husband. However, the wife demands that I not only pay off my student loans, but that I also help contribute to our retirement account. Sheesh the nerve she has sometimes.

I've got an interview Thursday for a position in an instutional setting. I like teaching in instutional settings more than the public setting. So well see. Jerry

Good luck with the job search. Life is too short to be stuck in a hell-hole like that. The kids these days make me sick. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
