Waaah. So distressing.
 
n___n

I am waiting back to see if I got this job (as a teacher's assistant as a private school). The lady on the phone told me that she had not talked to the guy that was "evaluating" me yesterday. (The person who was evaluating me came in every so often to see what I was doing, how I was doing, etc.) The teachers and the children seems to like me. (They put in with the pre-K first, and then the guy came in and said that he wanted to see how well I would do with the kindergarten kids.)

I felt like I did good. But even with everyone, even the people who were looking there, giving me positive comments on my looks. I still manage to feel self-conscious and nervous. (I did not show it. I am the type of person who could be freaking out, but I would be smiling and laughing instead. ) Really I am so nit picky, and that even reflects on my appearance and personality.

Does not help that my work release teacher is a bitch. She thinks constructive criticism is where you insult someone. Even if everything she has said is a lie. Everyone who has ever had her as a teacher thinks she is a major bitch. I do not like talking about people behind their back. But she needs to realize that insulting someone will not help them. It just makes me feel like crap. As if there was something wrong with me. Sometimes my hair is too straight, too brown, too something. She told me to dye my hair blonde or else people would not hire me. I was once told that my hair was too straight, and later that day she yelled at me because my hair was not straight enough. It drives me up the wall. She'll take you out to lunch, and tell her that everything is on her. Then a week later she's bugging you for the money that you owe her. Why? You apparently was suppose to bring money for lunch, but she had to pay it and now you need to pay her back. *headdeskhead* I was wearing a baby doll-styled shirt and a pair of jeans. She yelled at me because I wasn't adult enough. (The baby doll shirt was brown, with heart patterns. The pair of jeans are a dark blue, but they are not dark dark blue. Sort of in between. My clothes are clean. My parents tell me that they are fine. My friends like my style. But she'll come up to me in the hallways, and lecture me on how I need to be more adult. I can never win.)

Heh.

None of my bitchy teachers have ever retired. All of them still teach to this day.

In first grade, my teacher was power abusing bitch. After a month or two after the school year started she called my parents in because she was supposely "worried" about me. My mom was worried, thinking that I was not adjusting well to first grade or that I was not getting the material. No. My teacher wanted to sent me back to kindergarten because I did not cut straight enough with scissors. My grades were fine. I got along with my classmates. But she told my mom that I should be bumped down a grade because I had problems cutting with scissors. Seriously. Have you ever watched a kid cut out something with scissors? They are not perfect. Of course, my mom refused to send me back for that small reason. The conversation---from what I was told---was like this:

Teacher: I am concerned about your daughter, Nicole.
Mom: Why? Is she doing okay?
Teacher: No. She's doing fine.
Mom: Then what is it?
Teacher: She is having problems cutting with scissors.
Mom: ...
Teacher: We want to send her back to kindergarten.
Mom: ....

To say at the least, my first grade teacher did not stop. She tried through phone calls and meetings to get through to my mom. I remember my mom telling me that she tried to convince the school. But it did not work that well.

I would get in trouble for no reason at all. One time I had accidently bumped into the kid sitting next to me and the teacher saw. She yelled at me for "hitting" the student and kicked me out of the class. I had to spend the rest of my day sitting outside of the classroom. (There was a old chair and a half-circle table in the middle of the "hallway." Basically there was a room, and three rooms surrounding it. So there were classrooms next to mine, and so forth.)

Or in science class; we would go outside to take a break. The teacher would allow the students to play on the jungle gym. I barely ever got to play because she would make me sit out. I would do nothing, but she would claim that I had to be punished. Mind you. I was the quiet, sweet, and shy girl. The goody-goody two shoes. I rememer thinking, "I never did anything. Why do I have to sit out?"

She moved me to a lower math class. Despite the fact that I was doing fine is her's. (My mom told me this.)

For one kid---she had him go to kindergarten for the first half of the day, and then first grade for the second part.

One of my friends was suddenly sent back to kindergarten. One day she is sitting across from me. The next? I saw her playing with the kindergarten kids.

The teacher teaches fourth grade now.

We were introducing a new system when I started school, so I skipped first grade and went straight to second.... My brother skipped fourth o_O

I've never applied to a job.... I have something of a job, but it's not much, and it's only MAYBE once a month... (substitute thing...)

My dad got me it, he's the man in charge, and he asked me if I could do it... It pays well, I get Sunday additions, sometimes night additions as well, and sometimes I get holiday additions of 130%..... I work in church ^^ suits me, 'cause I would have been there anyway, and even though I only work for about 2 hours, I always get paid for 4, as a rule ^^

I get to ring the bell as well XD

I love my job <3

My job is bitchy. Seriously. I am a manager and the other managers above me talk about the other employees. I have heard and seen them do nasty things. It really scares me. Our store manager is gone for now and I am worried my job is in danger. I got pregnant and I have been very tired and had a lot of "morning" sickness. Anyway, I've been lacking a little and a couple of bitchy employees are making up stuff about me and running to my superior. I keep getting into trouble and being told that being preggo is no excuse. I am throwing up like freaking mad and still working. What's the problem? So I have been crying at night because my hubby doesn't make enough to support the household and I have seen how they are behind people's backs. I swear if they mess with me I am going to pick up my family and move to another state. This is way too much stress.

I used to work with mostly guys and whenever I switched to a mostly girl enviroment I thought it'd be cool. At least guys tell you what's really going on instead of plotting behind your back. And I didn't get nasty looks for forgetting to tweeze my eyebrows every once in a while, or not straightening my hair. I never got told I was expected to wear make-up. I mean, seriously. My skin is awesome without make-up. I get compliments on my skin. Wearing make-up makes me break out no matter what it is.

And I have just started taking out my stress on the boards. :x

Don't worry about what she says about you. Sometimes you have to play their game. Don't go to lunch with her. Tell her you don't feel comfortable with it. Just figure out ways to deal with things.

That sounds like a lovely job, I hope you get it. I hate going for interviews and the people are mean. I love it though when you can chat to them like they are your oldest friends. I want to be a vet nurse and am currently studying the course for it but it will be awhile before I am actually qualified to do the job.
