I got a letter informing me today that I have job security for the 2010 - 2011 school year. After months of wondering whether or not I would have a job come the Fall, I don't feel the relief I thought I would. I waited around unable to answer my students when they asked if I would be back for their freshman year, lost out on a roommate and an apartment, and spent the last few months losing sleep and years on my life because I was told there was little to no chance I would get rehired (regardless of job performance).
I can't say I'm not thankful, I just wish the education system didn't yank it's employees around this way. But that's for another day. Until then, at least I can tell my students that I'll be back in the Fall... and that I'll be wearing the new sundress I bought last week to their 8th grade formal tomorrow.
