Heavy Sigh

I went to the thing about the substutite teaching yesterday. It was vaguely interesting, but basically I'd have to pay $75 to get my certificate, which is fine, then pay $7 to get the background check done, and then they want me to pay them $160 for 3 nights of training on how to be a substitute teacher. Now I'm just thinking about it, and trying to decide if it is something I really can and want to do.

Today though I am feeling very pessimistic about my life. This whole week really I've been in this downward slump, I don't know if it is the weather, hormones, or because I have the most mild case of bi-polar disorder ever, but I am just not feeling happy this week.

To top it off I made a stupid mistake on this email today so I am convinced the boss guy is going to decide I suck and not keep me on after all. I suck at working.

It didn't help that yesterday I had to call this hotel and get the credit card billing straightened out. It wasn't my fault, but I still felt stupid and that I can't ever do anything right ever.

The system I once worked as a sub in didn't provide training. And I've never heard of having to have a certificate to substitute.

This is the worst time of year for depression, experts say, and you're definitely not alone in feeling down.
