Possibly Good News?
Okay ladies, my librarian Ruth showed up with her engagement ring on Monday! They are getting married in July. Of course, I ask the principal, "hey, did you see Ruth yet?" He said, "no, why?" So I told him and he said he figured she would be getting one because she turned in her letter that stated it was her intention to retire at the end of this school year. The math teacher turned in one too. That way they get the $1,500 notification by November 1 money for early retirement. He says, "you still want to move over to the library right?"...I said, "I'm willing to jump through a hoop and do a backwards cartwheel to be in the library next year." Of course, this might have been the wrong thing to say...because he says, "well, I have already talked to the supt. about my intention of moving you over...but there's some changes I need to think about and we may need to figure out for next year. I guess we'll need to meet on it." WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF does that mean? I'm guessing other assigned duties or teaching a class too. Does anyone have any pointers about this mystery meeting that may be coming up? Court told me to throw out there: they would need to pay me for a plan period and hire a para if they wanted me to teach too. Any other smart things I coud say? I haven't emailed Carol yet, but I need to.

I don't have much to offer as to what to expect. In my situation, I'd be hesitant to ask for more pay though. Only because they are constantly cutting costs around here and the library (librarian) is always the first to get the bum deal. I had to teach my first two years and they didn't pay me anymore nor did they offer a para. They fully expected me to do that on my own, even w/ me switching schools. It was a huge PITA but it got me here full-days like I wanted, so in the end it was worth it.
Don't flip out until you know everything. Once you do "meet" with him, think about what he's saying and then respond. Don't over react though until you know it all. When you do know it all, THEN you can start blowing smoke from your ears......!
