OT: I don't know how to feel.....

Other than hurt and angry.
My boss called me in on Tuesday to talk about next school year- I didn't think too much of it until I was in his office and he informed me that "if I choose to stay" the position will be4.5 hours per day, with a pay cut and no benefits.  I felt like I had been slapped in the face.

I have until next Wednesday to get my ducks in a row (unemployment, COBRA, etc...) and tell them if I will be accepting the position.  At this point the answer is definitely NO!!

I know that noone is indespensible, but I am hoping that some of my projects now fail to yield help for the school in the future.  I don't know that he realized how much work I did on my own time to build relationships and get us known in the community.

Yet another new chapter in life will begin on July 1.

WOW.  I am thinking of you Reenie!!

(((((Reenie)))))

Remember that sometimes things like this happen for a reason. Someone else will appreciate your work even more!!

I wish you the very best with whatever you decide to do.

Hi Reenie,

I am so sorry.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm sorry. And I can say I know how you feel. I'm so sorry.. you deserve better.

(((Reenie)))
That bites!

I'm praying for you, that something better will surface quickly for you!

I say feel the hurt and anger all you can. You've got to experience the feelings to move on. I bet that felt like a HUGE slap in the face. WTF?! 

You are so resilient, you've proven that over and over again with all the things you've dealt with health wise.

Since you're such a fitness monster, how about making friends w/ the ole punching bag at the gym tomorrow morning?

I'm sorry you're dealing with this, like Elena said, you deserve better.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and prayers.  It is getting a little easier to go in each day.  I have made the decision not to tell any of my students or the majority of the staff until after the school year is over.  That is mostly to keep from being a basket case for the last week or mso of the school year.

I am considering going for some career counseling and perhaps leaving the education/non-profit world.  At this point I want to find something where I can go in, work my hours, and leave (and not have to care a whole lot outside of those hours). 

thanks again,
Reenie

You were way too good for them!!! 
I know the little ones will miss you, but the next school will appreciate you so much more.

Will you still go to Mexico????

I forgot -

Go in and scare them.  Tell them you feel discriminated against because you are Jewish
