Keep up the good work Colson, NEVER fruit the beer.

Rhonda- I think and hope that he is my being my brother in sarcasm if you'll read back a few pages! , if not I hope you feel better soon FWG!

I try everyday to match his wit but I can't seem to "pull it off"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

because "I am really good at being an assistant coach", which equates to "Jen does the paperwork really well, so let her do it."

That pretty much stinks!

You gotta be more careful as you get older!

You don't have to like beer.

Well, I guess I am going to have to coach with Pete next year. I just got canned as softball coach at my high school. In fact, they canned the whole staff. Now, they want me to teach next year here and be an assistant coach, because "I am really good at being an assistant coach", which equates to "Jen does the paperwork really well, so let her do it."

That sucks Jen. I'm sorry. Was the team having a bad season ?? Why would they let the whole staff go ?? Will this affect your pay ?? Could I ask anymore questions ??

 

[AuburnJen92]

Oh Jen!! I feel for ya!! Vent all you want here. Heck, Pete got alot of garbage cause our team stunk, but you do the best you can with the kids they give you...

I am trying to find the instructions for the mickey lamp post....My dad said he would look at it and make us one. He is bored and is always looking for projects.

hell, i'll make you one if you need to, i have all the time on my hands now...

 

[AuburnJen92]

That's too bad. Who is the coach going to be? Or haven't they hired him/her yet?

oh, i am sure they have someone, based on the conversation i had while i was trying to defend myself, this was planned

 

[AuburnJen92]

Can we start a club of the left fractured wrists of 2008? I hope they gave you some good drugs....I sure needed them on Valentine's day!

Man, that stinks. I didn't want anyone else to go through what I just did...

 

[Colson39]

I have. I like the Miller Chill better. Bud Light w/Lime tasted like someone poured Sprite in my beer. It may be the beer flavor I prefer. Miller Lite is better than Bud Light...in my opinion.

It probably does, because I prefer Bud Light over Miller, so there ya go....lol

If I could chew nails and spit them out, and not have a huge dental bill, I would. You could have knocked me over with a feather this morning. Needless to say, I have been in a s#%$^%ty mood all day, probably will be until June 27th when I go back to the fort.

I tried to find the angry thread, but to no avail.

So you didn't lose your teaching job, just your coaching job??

In our school district, they don't hire "coaches", they hire teachers who coach as a side gig (but I believe there is a small coaching supplement paid).

You can ask away...if you haven't figured it out, I am not shy.

Here is the story in a nutshell...

I get a call this morning on my cell phone before 8am, so it couldn't be a collection call
I was told that 4 girls complained that they weren't returning to varsity and that basically it was my fault because I didn't know about it. "Lack of communication skills" was a phrase repeated over and over. They wouldn't tell me who, what, where, when or how about what was said. I wasn't allowed to tell my side of the story and was told later on that I was wanted back as an assistant to the new head coach, which they refused to tell me who it was. Because I had problems with girls that I had to remove from the team last year and this year, it is my fault and I have to be canned. There was a lot more said by me, but this is a family forum.

There were several girls so upset today that they couldn't go back to class for several hours. Every time I saw one of the girls, I lost it. When I get mad, the tears fly, so you can imagine what I look like. It is not pretty.

So, a job hunting I go....

Yes, it affects my pay for next year, a bunch. They wanted a clean slate for the new coach, that is why they canned all of us. Yes, we had two bad seasons, which they said had nothing to do with it...won 2 games in two seasons.

Its not always a package deal, some us dont drink all of our waking hours.

Sounds to me like these girls got their parents involved and they put pressure on someone. In this circumstance, I don't think I would accept the step-down position of assistant coach.

Are you going to look for a whole new teaching job....or just something to supplement that income ??

no all but most...

well, i am on bidville.com for auctions, so that helps, but it was a big chunk of a supplement, so i will keep looking at all my options teaching and coaching for the summer months...it certainly will not be a boring summer

the girls that were so upset told me before i left school that they were going to go have a meeting with the ad and principal with their parents and get my coaching job back, but i told them they were waisting their time and that it was a done deal....and to leave me out of it.

and NO, i will not be slapped in the face twice...i won't be an assistant at that school

Ha, I knew that.

I am trying out the Kungaloosh recipe this weekend. I'm a die-hard Pina Colada girl, so the rum piqued my interest.

Regarding those we don't get along with... my husband always says "be a duck" i.e. let it roll off your back like water off a duck. Yeah, I look a little silly chanting my mantra of "be a duck, be a duck" when I'm pissed off at someone, but it works.

 

[AuburnJen92]

if you like Pina Coladas, you will like this, but remember, it is really strong...stinks up the whole fridge...

You can coach with me here in Wesley Chapel, the pay isn't so good, but I got a nice gift from the parents at the year end banquet.
