Insert cry of frustration here

I have been feeling so low and rotten the last couple of weeks. Just waiting for my teaching certificate to come and validate my existence. If I can just get some classroom experience maybe I can get a full time job and stop hearing about what poor choices I make. Today I get a call from the division office saying that they still needed my teaching certificate. That reminded that 2 1/2 weeks is waay too long for it to come through - especially when my cheque has already been cashed. So I called Sask Learning today only to find that my letter of employment was NEVER sent. GAH! So I had to go over there today and wait for them to find my application and see what happened. It was simply never sent. So I should have been on the sub list like a week ago, but my division never did their part. I'm so upset. It just feels like everything I try to do gets ruined, delayed, or ends up where I never wanted it. I just want to go back to sleep and forget about the waking world.

Guess Who's Gonna Be a Sub?

I am! Woohoo! The HR guy called today and said they just needed a void cheque and then they could send a confirmation of employment letter to Saskatchewan Learning. Of course I brought that over right away and then made sure to mail the certification fee. As soon as that Professional 'A' certificate comes in I'm to bring a copy to the division office and then I'm on that sub list! One small step in the right direction. Hopefully I'll get a fair bit of experience and then a mat leave in Dec/Jan. That would be sweet. I'm just so thrilled to finally have a bit of good news for a change (other than the birth of a beautiful Ethan Andrew - congrats to Dan & Lynn).
