They've been nice to me...

the people at the "bus lot."  Came here around 830.  They had me do some filing and some shredding.  Made a mighty mess when I did so they set me about to cleaning it up.

Fair enough.

No word yet.  I hate the waiting.  No real inkling as to how this will go, but I have just about decided it's time for ME to go.

The only question is as to just when I will go back "north."  I do not relish the notion of returning to NC when it is cold.  Yeah, I am a wimp.  Being here has spoiled me.  And I still have some things I want to do while here.

Pretty sure there will be no "criminal" investigation, like there was in Guilford.  Of course, I know I have done nothing criminal, regardless.  Didn't know I had done anything wrong until I got called the the office.

Our school union rep told me, as I think I said, that my only fault was in being kind.  I am nice to the kids or at least try to be.  Some of the girls have apparently misunderstood that for something else.
that's what happened 30 years ago, that and the meddling from one of the mothers who took the girls, four at a time, out to a local mall and interrogated them, stirring them up, pumping them full of notions. Caused a lot of pain for a lot of us.

Some things are just not meant to be.

Time to retire, AGAIN, and go back to my writing?

I've actually had time to do some serious writing the last few days.  Sent off some "textbook" assignments to my sub but, other than that, no school work. It felt nice to be able to do that. I want to do more of it.  I'd like my life back again.

Saw some postings on FB of events at Rock Middle.  I recognized most of the kids in the photos and I guess I really do miss them.  Sybil told me I needed to be away from there.  Not sure I understand why.  Her reasonings sometime puzzle me.

meantime, my access to student skyward has been restricted

The longer I am in "limbo," the more chance there is I will just call it quits.
