its raining its pouring

its 7 am and i've already made tea and eaten a bowl of trix, as well as moved my car so eric could get out, spilled water all over the counter, and accidentally blew my nose in a dryer sheet instead of a tissue.

i have to get in the shower.  i have an interview today.  in paterson.  at jfk.  it will be kind of amusing.  i am not sure how they're going to interview me.  its not like they can ask "so, where have you taught in the past?" without being ridiculously redundant.  i just have to get a competitive mindset.  yes, there will be some of the other teachers who got laid off with me trying to get this job.  no, i can't feel any kind of remorse.  we were workers united when we were all employed.  now we're just the unemployed trying to get a job.  it doesn't matter that its the same job we all got rif'ed from.  i have to think about myself, nobody else.  I need this job, I need to pay my bills, I and nobody else.  i'm not used to this.

Hope it went well. Going after a job in competition with your former co-workers isn't a sin. It's the result of crappy capitalism and know-nothingism. Heck, you competed with them the first time you were hired, right?
