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?
