Don't Get To Comfortable - Another blank canvas, starting over AGAIN

Here we go again. I've been at my job for 3 weeks now. I'm enjoying it. Have a few concerns on how things are being operated in a training aspect but I figured it would change; this is only your first day.

As the weeks go on, I'm self motivated,  getting projects done and I'm feeling ready.  Ready to be in charge,  make some changes, game face on.

Not long after this I am called to an office.  When I haven't had much talking or interaction with this man since my start date I knew it likely wasn't going to be good. "shut the door " We have now entered a serious conversation.
*disappointed
*rule breaker
*unfixable
*failing to meet our expectations

What can I do to fix it? I ask. "I just don't know if there is anything. " he sits back in his chair and asks if I want to talk about anything else?  Do I have other concerns outside of work that I wanted to share?

No and no.  I've been here a few weeks,and  yes, I'm crying at this point. Are you going to be okay?  He asked.

I'm fine, as I shudder through tears.

24 Hours Later @4:23 p.m.
They parade their way into my office with a box in hand. I already know what's coming next. "We regret to inform you that today is your last day. You'll need to get your stuff" - box is then pushed towards me.

"There were expectations and those just weren't met.  It's just not a right fit. "

"I don't have anything, I say."  Remember,. I haven't even been here a month. And, I'm glad I grabbed my extra protien bars the night before.

Never once was there a detailed conversation on what expectations I wasn't meeting.  I knew something was up when I was working on a project that had my name on it earlier but was now replaced with the former public relations managers name.  Touche when they walked in with the box.

One of the female Staff  personnel walked me out and said, "thank you for keeping your composure and we do wish you the best in the future. " How encouraging after they just let you go.But obviously I have skills that can be utilized somewhere else.

Life goes on. My canvas is a lite bit more filled now with a house, new car, and no job. But things happen for a reason... Or so I say, and truly hope.
And my crazy life continues

USHL and NAHL Faceoff

This is my first story- and one of three about sports. Enjoy...... USHL & NAHL Face-off Ice, snow, and blustering winds don’t keep these fans away from a hockey game. SUVs, trucks, and mini-vans of all sorts fill the parking lot. A line of 50 people stretches from the ticket window out to the sidewalk. It’s game time at the Coliseum, for the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. But the Force is coming into town, and plans to heat things up. Hockey isn’t something new to the Fargo-Moorhead area. From little mites to hockey elites, this town is filled with hockey. Currently, Fargo is the host to the North American Hockey League team known as the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. With the new Urban Plains facility planning to open its doors for the 2008 season, many people worry the Jets are going to be grounded. The Urban Plains Facility will be the home to the Force, a United States Hockey team elite tier 1 team, will likely blockade the hopes of the Jets continuing next season. T...

Where have I been?!?

It's almost June...where has the time gone? I honestly, and I know I say this every single time that I'm absent from blogging, but where has the time gone? So so so much has happened since my last post. As in, I freakin' graduated college! For the second time! With honors! I successfully completed student teaching in May. It was a whirl wind. But I almost forgot the most important piece of all this...and no it isn't a job..I'll get to that part later. I passed EdTPA!!! I'm only the 2nd person to pass it from the HPE department at MSUM. Another girl from my class also passed. She had submitted hers before me so technically she passed first. The EdTPA is one of those things that seemed like an overwhelming task, and really doesn't determine whether you are a good teacher or not. Regardless, I passed, and didn't have to submit any remediation back to MSUM. It was a HUGE relief. Right before I switched from my high school student teaching placement a PE ...

Juice Cleanse

As promised, here is my blog post on how my 1-day juice cleanse went. I know, it's a little late, but my school schedule has been crazy...and it was Grape Stomp this past weekend. To say I'm a little exhausted is an understatement. But regardless, I'm back at it, tackling another week, and doing another cleanse as we speak. As a disclaimer, I did this cleanse on my own and was not compensated for doing the cleanse. I am not being compensated for my review of the cleanse. The reason I wanted to do the cleanse was for one, just to try it out. My other reason was the fact that I've been stuck at the same number on the scale for almost a year. It hasn't changed at all, regardless of all my changes. Even with my exercise this summer, it hasn't fluctuated much. I also wanted to see if by doing a cleanse would help reduce some of my headaches. Lately, they have been getting out of control again. I had read a little bit on how to prepare for the cleanse by eating mo...
