Little frustrations

Well, this may not be the most up-lifting post I ever make, but I'm gonna do it anyway:
First I have been lurking at various sites/communities for quite a few years now, and I have noticed that all of them have a Great Falling Out sometime between September and February every year. I don't know the exact reason, but I do know that somehow, the members seem to get more stressed out and then peripheral members feel they need to choose sides on a given argument. It is all over the internet every year. It seems to coincide with the holidays/finals/mass bird and other pet die-off that also happens at this part of the year. Grand parents go more at this part of the year, too. It's really upsetting.
It makes me wonder if the shopping and finals and losing loved ones creates more stress than people are supposed to be able to handle.

My point is that I am expecting to have a few people become less open to opinions and more susceptible to argument in the coming weeks. Some will lose loved pets and some will stress out over holiday purchases and visits. Most of us will get at least a little head cold and many of us will gain a few more pounds. This might make us a bit cranky, so the blog may just become an important release valve so that we don't explode at holiday functions.
I vote we all breathe before we make any big decisions. We will all get through all of the problems and our friends here will be supportive-just because we like each other and value each other.

On another topic:
I am still looking for a teaching position. Those of you who think a greater power can help: would you plead my case? This substituting limbo I am in is fine and I am learning a lot but I really need a classroom of my own.{preferably, with a contract:D}

I am hoping that the mid-winter weirdness will open a classroom for me, because teachers do quit in the mid winter break.

I went to a job fair last Friday, and I got 6 interviews. Those were the first interviews I have had in the ten months that I have been looking for a position. Four of the principals were suitably impressed, two were just going through the motions. I have to think there is a classroom out there somewhere...I have to wonder if i am just not doing this right. Job hunting is such a pain. Some of the school districts don't even list specific jobs. They just put us in a pool for the principals to pick through. It's a crazy system.

My classes are going fine.They are ever so unchallenging. Snooze/ Yawn!
I have been subbing in the special ed unit of a specific elementary school and OOh I love those classes. They are so much more intensive than the regular ed classes that I have been in.

Happy Halloween everyone!
thanks for stopping by.
