Well, apparently March is continuing the suckfest that February was. Went in and paid for my completed tax return to be electronically filed so I could get my refund in about ten days only to find out later that they filed with the wrong credit union listed for me. The one I used last year no longer exists and has merged with another credit union so the refund I thought I would get in ten days will now be coming to me in the best case scenario a month from now. Six weeks in to the new semester and I still have not been paid for my extra contractual because no one in admin can be bothered to sign the paperwork from last semester. Maybe I'll get in in two weeks. What a shit show. I mean, why so difficult? It's no wonder I can barely drag my ass out of bed at the ass crack of dawn to go sit in my classroom for ten hours while 200 students on my roster file in and out at the bell.

Trying not to be too bitter and cynical here on the eve of the New Year, but I've spent 40 hours scoring on line in my side hustle over my relatively short Christmas Break since I need, you know, my second (and third) part-time jobs to bolster my full-time job earnings. So a big fuck you all as I finish my eight hour shift to all of the haters out there talking mad smack about teachers. Cuz I am not trying to hear that.
