Well, my great daycare job has turned out to be not-so great after all. Unfortunately, I'm being used like it's nobody's business, as a janitor, as kitchen staff, and as accident clean-up crew, instead of actually working with the chlildren. If that's one injury to take, another is the fact that, since my coworkers treat me as a subordinate instead of an equal member of the team, the children don't take me seriously, nor do they respect my authority, which can result in absolute mayhem at times. I also don't agree with some of the actions of my coworkers, like telling a crying child to "Put your tears away."
But, it's all part of the process of getting settled; I'm sure it will take me some time to find a great job out there.
On the bright side though, I'm loving my coworkers from my other (my first) job. Tonight I worked a closing shift... on a Friday night... until 11:30... not exactly easy to take. BUT, in an act that counteracted all the badness that occurred today, we all went out for beers at a pub across the street after work. I got to fraternize and kibitz with my colleagues, and really had a nice time. At least I can be thankful for one of my two jobs, or, at least for the people I work with there.
Ciao,
