Annoyed

So I'm really annoyed right now about my subbing situation. I was supposed to be subbing today and the rest of the week at the elementary school near my house. Yesterday afternoon after I got home I logged on to see if I could pick up any jobs for next week and a notice popped up that my job for today was cancelled. I tried all night and had no luck getting another one. It worked out okay because we got the new fridge today and it was helpful that I was here to help get things ready for delivery.

So then mid morning I checked the jobs again and got another notice that my job for tomorrow was cancelled, at this point I'm SUPER annoyed. Luckily, about an hour later I got another job for tomorrow at the high school in an Engl.ish class. Not long after accepting that job, it got cancelled, which leaves me high and dry for tomorrow. I also had another job get cancelled that was scheduled for the first week of Feb.ruary. I'd had it, so I e-mailed the coordinator asking her what the heck was going on and she's looking into it, but that doesn't help the fact that I have no job for tomorrow. I think what probably happened was that staff development trainings got cancelled but what really sucks about that is that there are quite a few subs that got their jobs cancelled so there are quite a few looking for new jobs, which makes it hard to schedule something new.

Oh well, there isn't anything I can do so I'm not going to dwell on this but I just needed a little venting session. On to questions about R's job search. He is looking all over the nation and he mainly wants to work at a university (because that's where all of his experience is) in a dire.ctor of alum.ni relati.ons position or a communications position at an alumni association. He just found one today at an university in Chic.ago that he's going to apply for and then we're waiting to hear back from the position in Ne.braska. I just hope that something comes up before Jun.e because my subbing is seasonal so we need him back to work by then. He's been at the job search thing for 4 months now so hopefully within in the next couple months time will be on his side and something will come up. R found out on Aug.ust 15 that he either had to quit or be fired and then his last day was Septemb.er 5th, his job search though started at the end of August.
