can you start monday?

these are wonderful words. everyone has wanted to hear them from time to time. ok maybe not everyone. like the bum down the road selling roses? that's his nightmare. but it's my dream and i'm excited that i've got my foot in the door to a school. where there's schooling being done.

i'm going to be working at premier high school which is an alternative high school for at risk youth. they want me to start as a temp so that they don't need the negative woman at the front desk to train her replacement. does that make me a consultant? i like the fact that they need me there to do a specific job and that when it's done they will figure out if they want me in another job or not. it's like an incentive to do well because i always take the low/easy road at jobs that i don't care about. i figure out how little i can do to get good reviews and raises and i stick with that. i know it's a terrible trait but it stems from not REALLY caring about the job i am hired to do. like at whole foods it was take this spreadsheet and enter it into this screen. repeat for the next four hours. eat lunch. now take this spreadsheet and...you get the picture.

maybe this will be different. if not...i'm not sticking around. the promise of a just a little money lures me in very easily but i have my goal and it's in sight and i'm not wavering. i want to teach english to spanish speaking people and learn spanish myself. i'm on the road but i can't get side tracked by the billboards that say..."hey! start monday"
