Exciting News!

As of today I am officially employed by the local public school board in my hometown as a supply teacher!

Very exciting. I am no longer a grumpy bugger about everything. However, I do enjoy that one of the girls who commented on my facebook status actually wrote "Congratulations!! No luck on my end yet.... Oh well." I almost didn't post anything because I knew there would be some people who would react with "FML" the same way I've been reacting every time I've had to see that in someone else's status leading up until now.

However - I wasn't obnoxious about it and quite frankly I have worked my ass off to get even this. Supply is no guarantee of work either and I fully intend on continuing to work my ass off.

So yes - in quite a happy mood. And somewhat related to this...

Work Boy commented on my status.

"horray. told ya, lol. way to crop me out of your picture"

The last bit is in response to my new profile picture. I changed it last night. And yes I did crop him out of it - he's sitting in the chair beside in the original but was far enough away it could be cropped to a solo picture without that awkward look of his arm still being there type deal. Naturally in doing this, I had wondered if he would comment.

I posted the following on his wall:

"I didn't realize you would be so offended that you were cropped out of my profile picture, my bad lol. But it's not like I'm in your profile picture so I don't see why you feel the need to be in mine. :P
If it makes you feel better I had to crop my own hand out because I'm holding a beverage and I don't want potential employers seeing that in my profile picture."

We'll see if he fires back a snappy comeback. In the meantime, I'm going to be looking to see if he wants to go out and celebrate my success with me. :)

Ah...sweet relief of having some kind of employment in my chosen career field!
