I have a real good job, been at it for 7 months and for the last week and a half have a part time fill in for someone job. So, it's 8 hours, home and boom 4 more. Not too bad really and it is only for about two, three weeks longer but the gist of it is, is that the part time temporary evening one is at the place I had been given the boot from two years ago. Was never really given satisfactory reasons behind my termination ("bad attitude, slipping work performance" could have given me a hint beforehand ya bunch of...).Over 5 years at this place and "see ya. Scram". I really liked my coworkers and the kids (obvious now a school is a part of it). I went through a long period where I felt like a child who had been kicked out of a family for no real reason. Took a long time to get back on my feet, but resiliency is strong. True I was the lowest on the totem and I didn't really cotton to being a janitor, but it was the people that made it bearable,with a few exceptions who made it unbearable, but the past is so yesterday, eh?Sometimes I would invest great imaginative time to come up with a witty line or two in my quest to grasp a moment of attention ( I'm an introvert, but I do have my needy moments truth be told). I'm thinking maybe I really was not some evil lazy suspected critter warranting dismissal, obviously I would not have been approached to fill in. I know I did get on the bad side of at least one ,maybe more of the major power players at that place and I've seen them cook goose on folks they loose a shinning to. Plus room was being made to accommodate someone who did not step into the position ( they payed a price for that on, ha!). But as the great disk spins it has all been for the best. It's like ,7 of the teachers are on the way out at the end of this year from that place. Something amiss? Me thinks so. But to shorten this all up I shall gain some closure, and it was nice with all the teachers, students and parents who have come up to me and given me sincere greetings and " I've missed yous". Inward smirks at the power-players? Oh you bet cha. I'm also fortunate my task will be done with and I'll be outta there before everyone else. The center is being lost, now it remains a working facade, but it is gone. Sad but all is good because every day is a happy day. I say so.
