A Legal Alien

map

03 June 2005

I am so annoyed. The principal from my prior school wants to involuntarily transfer me to the other HS in the area. Uh, no. My plan was never to return anyway but now, there's no way I'll go back. I had to fight a transfer in 2001 and if I was planning on going back, I'd fight it again as I have legal right to stay at my current position. I'm furious at her though, stating to the Asst. Sup. that everyone less senior than I am is in a critical position and can't be spared. PLEASE. That's bullshit. There's a girl who took my place who doesn't even have her credential!! How is she critical? Ooooooh I am so mad!! The HR guy said my principal was going to call me on Monday because I've tried contacting her and gotten no reply and she wouldn't take my phone call the last time I rang her. He said he'd call me back Tuesday to make sure she rang me and to see what happened. This whole situation is her call. Obviously she doesn't want me back. Fuck her. She's a nut.
Meh! Don't get me started again. I'm sending out piles of CVs again and getting my application for my PhD programme sorted. I guess this whole work situation back home is a blessing in disguise because it's closing a door on something I never wanted to go back to anyway. If I can't find a job here or don't get into the PhD programme, I'll go home and stay with my parents for a while, look for a job, figure out my life. It's not exactly what I had in mind but it's an option.
The jobs I'm applying for are all over England, from Northumberland to Sussex. I just NEED TO FIND A JOB! It'd be nice to work on my PhD and not work but I'd rather work and go to school so I have an income. My fees will be almost 8,000 quid a year if I go full time. I'll be in serious debt by the time I'm done if I'm not working, even part time.
I'll need to find a new apartment, a place where I can keep Samson and maybe a bit further out of the city. I love London but it's so expensive to live here. And I miss my dog terribly. It's nice to have the freedom to come and go as I want and not worry about who's taking care of him or boarding him. But I can't expect Ruth to keep him forever. He's my responsibility and I miss that sweet face! If I stay for my PhD, I'll have to move my stuff over too. It seems silly to pay $100 a month for a storage unit and not have all my stuff around me.
