Redemption Song
I got a job offer. I accepted. I suppose that means I am now technically an employed school teacher. Me. I will be teaching. So why am I not happy? Why did I cry a few minutes after calling to accept the position? They were not tears of joy.
*****1. I'm scared. This is my first full-time teaching position and I can't screw it up.
*****2. I'm sad because there's no one to share the news with.
*****3. I need teacher clothes. My student teacher clothes just won't do. But I pumped $3.66 worth of gas in my car today because that was literally every last penny I had. Do you think I can afford new clothes?
*****4. Obsessive compulsive disorder runs strongly in my family. It must be the OCD that makes me cry at everything. I never feel good enough.
*****5. I have a competitive streak with MYSELF and feel like that with this being the job that I least wanted and got, I must have inordinately failed.
I hope that in a few days, I can see this as a good thing. I just wish unemployment paid better.
In fact, I didn't even dress up for the interview because I wasn't sure I wanted this job. Granted, I didn't wear my 1984 Bruce Springsteen t-shirt and Be My Valentine boxer shorts, but I didn't do the suit thing I did for all of the others. I did, however, show cleavage. Apparently, that works.

Say, my love, I came to you...With best intentions...You laid down and gave to me just what...I’m seeking...Love, you drive me to distraction
Hey my love do you believe that we... Might last a thousand years...Or more if not for this? ...Our flesh and blood it ties...You and me right up...Tie me down
Celebrate we will...Because life is short but sweet for certain..We’re climbing two by two..To be sure these days continue... These things we cannot change
Hey, my love, you came to me like... Wine comes to this mouth.. Grown tired of water all the time... You quench my heart and you... Quench my mind
Celebrate we will... Because life is short but sweet for certain... We’re climbing two by two... To be sure these days continue... The things we cannot...change
Oh, my love, I came to you... With best intentions... You laid down and gave to me just what...I’m seeking
Celebrate we will... Because life is short but sweet for certain... We’re climbing two by two... To be sure these days continue,
Things we cannot change...Things we cannot change.....
