Well, my spring break has official come to an end. I am now back to work doing the usual thing: testing, testing, testing.

There are only like 25 school days left, which is unbelievable. I’m glad it’s almost summer, but sort of sad because it means I it’s back to time about worrying about a job again. Someday I hope to not have to worry about having a job. Until that day- I’ll worry. It still looks like there won’t be any positions available at my school. Now, I could keep my computer lab job (which I do really love). Everyone at work would be really happy if I stayed in the lab because I’m so good at what I do, and I really do help the teachers with anything they need. My principal would love to have me stay in the lab too, but she knows I need to make more money and that I didn’t go to school for four years to just be an assistant with assistant’s pay. SHe’s said she will write me awesome letters of recommendation if I need to try to find a job at another school. I’m tired of moving around to different schools. I wish I could just find one and stick with it for a good long while. Who knows what’ll happen. Worst-case scenario is that I’m stuck with my computer lab job again next year still being underpaid.

So over spring break I saw a couple of movies, read a book, played a lot of Nintendo DS (mostly Tamagotchi Corner Shop 2 and Cake Mania), and played games and hung out with Colin and his parents. We all went down to Bowling Green on Friday night and stayed at the lovely Holiday Inn there. On Saturday, we woke up and went to the Lost River Cave. I like caves. This was the one where you take a little boat ride through the cave. A very short boat ride actually. I wish it had been longer, but I guess it was as long as it could be.

I’m writing this at work. Shame on me. I don’t have a class right now. The next class is coming in at 11:40, and I will have to explain to them how this test works that they’re going to be taking. Fun, fun, fun.

EDIT: Well, the principal just came and went over my evaluation with me. I got all threes (threes are the highest). She also wrote:

Mrs. Magee demonstrates superior technology skills. She maintains a commendable attitude of responsibility and loyalty for the school, faculty, and students.

She went on to tell me that I am the best computer lab person she’s ever had. She also said the school website has never ever looked so awesome. She’ll be supportive if I look for a job somewhere else, and she’ll let me keep my lab position of course. I’ve been watching the job register for weeks now. No jobs are being posted yet. People are beginning to find out if they still have a job for next year. At my school, for example, one of the interns is being let go. A special ed. teacher is being let go too. I know a girl (well, woman) I went to school with is not being hired back either. Lots of teachers who are being let go will need jobs. New graduates will want jobs. At least I do have a position secured for next year if all else fails. Guess I need to start making some decisions.
