[gully] in the lines of not sweating the technique... I told my supervisor that I'm starting school soon. Yea, it's about 99.9% official. The letter said that The purpose of the interview is to formally admit you to the program and advise you on program requirements and scheduling. My interview is today. Yay for trying to get letters after you name! It felt so surreal. One minute we were having a heated discussion, the next I'm frustrated and walking out of the office not wanting to show my emotions (anger if anything... even if she thought she made me cry) I wasn't crying at all... I was just frustrated... wanting to scream at the top of my lungs. Had a couple huffs and puffs, walked back into the office... and we talked again. This time... I decided to stay cool... go with whatever she was saying, and well eventually the opportunity just made itself open. The words were all of a sudden coming out of my mouth... I came clean about everything... Why I didn't go to the big regional meeting, why I was missing a meeting tomorrow. I told her everything and she just sat there (maybe she felt dumb... maybe she was ready to fire me, who knows) I told her I had no plans to leave. Not now... especially with everything going on... I told her that summer would be ideal. I'm thinking July or August would be good for me. That would mean two years at A3M, a new person trained by me to have the position I worked so hard to rebuild and well... me just having to try and save money incase I'm unemployed from Aug to November. I won't worry about that til later, maybe free time and unemployment will be good for me, but I will start applying for subing in certain school districts and thinking about bartending school. I've always had a back up plan financially in everything I've done, but something in the element of now... makes me not care. I'm looking forward to the free time, and know that the next few months will go pretty fast. I'm willing and able to suck it up and never complain about the time constraints that I've decided to be in. I will still be the best worker I can be, and be the kind of student I want to be. I may not be a lot of fun for the next few months, but I know that my hard work will be worth it. Yay for being ballsy. I really don't know how she felt about what I said, but I know that they need me now more then ever... so at least for now... I'm safe. Oh well... don't sweat the technique.
