Refocus

So the boss decides to make changes... no notice, no warning... and yes I feel used. I have been wallowing for a while now, and it's time to snap out of it. Yes, my future is decidedly different, and a little more uncertain than I am comfortable with, but seriously.. I have a job. I'm really good at what I do, at least the working with kids part, but based on recent requests, I would be willing to say that I am good at working with teachers as well, despite what others may think. So why am I complaining? I always say that I don't want to leave the classroom, so this year I won't. I'll have to do some outside work to make up for the lost income, and my yarn budget may be severly limited, but it is time to refocus. I'm not looking forward to teaching in isolation again, but with the "stand and deliver model" that the boss has chosen, I won't have much of a choice. I'll also be spending the time getting my certification in other states, better safe than sorry, right? I do wish that I knew what my schedule will be so that I can at least be a little prepared.

So the depression will lift, and this feeling of being punched in the face will lessen... but when will the feeling of being used go away?
