I’m shocked you didn’t get the teaching job. You sound like the kind of teacher I wish I had in middle school. You deserve economic security for your hard work. I believe you will get it.
"One of my best friends thinks I just need a boyfriend. Maybe the fellow pictured above will ask me out." Definitely the strong and silent type. You'll always have the last word.
Glad you got the bathroom key and a long term assignment. Things are better than they were a few months ago. Accentuate the positive! Your luck is changing.
I'm glad there's a little light shining through the darkness. And definitely, that bathroom key is as much of a plus as the extra salary. Too bad you have to wait till next year for benefits; that should be illegal...
Before my last job, I was unemployed for over a year. At one point I applied for a job that looked like it was made for me (in the same institution I ended up working, later). It was exactly what I wanted to do, & the vacancy was because someone was retiring after 30 yrs (so not apparently, because she hated the boss...). I didn't get it. I don't know why, but surmised that perhaps the person who did already worked there, which would have given that person '1st dibs' on the job.
The job I got wasn't *exactly* what I was looking for, but close enough, and it worked out just fine -- probably better than the one I didn't get, because the med. ctr later switched to an EMR that would have been the death of me (my screen name on Amazon is techno idiot), & the job I got was in clinical research, which had its own computer system. I had some trouble with that too, sometimes, but the staff was very kind to me, & always helped me out. I later had to realizations: I was ending my career where I started it, which did wonders for my pension; plans & dreams change, but when I was a kid I wanted to do bio-research, which this essentially was -- so there's something to be said for fulfilling a childhood dream.

He’s so pretty. I bet he bites though.

I’m trying. It’s just hard sometimes. But the kids cheer me up even when they act up and are annoying

I hope all works out for you, as it did for me.
I try to trust our God. He was there for Jacob. He lives today.
