update

so it turns out i'm allergic to weeds trees and cocaroaches.
why does it take 2 years for a doctor to refer me to a stinkin allergist? why does it take 2 years of complaining? I should sue for emotional distress! now i'm on meds so i shouldnt get sick so often! geez. and even though i gave my work plenty of doctors notes that is one of the main reasons why "they don't have any availability for me next year". whatever!
so i need a new job. i was looking anyways. i hate people. they are so selfish. (not all people). but i try to do nice things, care for them, not put blame on anyone, create peace, i don't rat anyone out, i give them hugs when they need them, and what do they do? spit in my face practically.
its a good thing i was at least greatly appreciated by the parents of the children i worked with this year.
i learned everything from those preschoolers. and i learned being nice doesnt get you anywhere. its a good thing i'm working for the lord. and i only have 4 more days of hell on earth. (those kids fill me up and they are worth it.)

i have a few job options though, there is a slight possiblity at the preschool at church, an early ed center (i'm calling on monday to schedule an interview), and another ta position for 3 hours a day. oh yeah, LA's Best afterschool program. i wont know about that one till august. and then theres Starbucks. Woopie!

and that is only 2 out of three headaches thats been figured out. 1)scoliosis and pinched nerve in my neck, 2) allergies, 3) ????????
