I am coughing less but cough is still there and my nose is stuffy, no matter how many times i'm blowing my nose and me walking to my new job, then taking a bus, walking again on a road without a sidewalk is making me tired; both in my legs and lungs.
Also, i was invited for an interview but they also asked me if i'm willing to stay on monday and teach and i stayed but the secretary didn't say for how long or providing any information and i was too nervous to ask or forgetful. the children in the class and other teachers informed me it's only 2 weeks. and of course, i have a week free before easter, which is not fair. i mean, the person, whose substitute i am could be generous and let me to stay just before the easter but, no, everyone has their rights and 0% sympathy. also, with my last school and toxicity there, is it strange to say i miss them a bit.
so, yes, travelling to this school is bad. on my first day, i met the secretary and a school pedagogue but not the principal. i met the principal today, when my classes were over. other teachers are very prying, especially some ironic one and class is not that big, 19 children but some children are swearing and acting very immature; hiding under the school desk, hiding from me, not asking to go to toilet and such. and 3rd graders again.
Maybe i'm grumpy cause my health isn't the best but i have things with this school that trouble me and again, i will wait the end of my contract which i didn't get it but i think i'll get tomorrow, my contract. I've heard that schools are in bad shape in my country but in one city, every school has its own rules, its strange people and so on and that's hard to believe sometimes.
I wish i was younger, maybe this would bother me less or not. Also, the school where i had wonderful memories had a job ad, i applied and they didn't contact me at all, even though i worked there. I expected even a no but maybe thanking me cause i applied again but no, i exist for any school only when they need them and when they can use me. Ah, i would be happier going back where i worked before but no, i am tested in my 4th school this far.
I know we should focus on positivity but why things can't be a bit easier?

I think it is both that has made you grumpy. When we don't get a job of our choice, or, if we get one, but don't feel. comfortable there, we get bad- tempered.
Keep yourself calm. It will help you out of your problems.

When things don't go our way it's difficult to stay positive. But just don't give up in trying. Life is a struggle. You will get through it. And being unwell isn't helping too.
