I am finally the fool!!!

We have always been asked to do due diligence whenever something is up and seems too good to be true. If by "we" I am overstepping my sphere of intended receipt of knowledge then I guess I should make this more personal. I am a school teacher currently between jobs. That is fancy jibe for "I am out of work". But I must say this was of my own making. I was working at a drama free school where going to work was such a joy. Then a big opportunity came in and promised more work but that came along with added incentive....more money. God knows I was never going to pass out on that. I need to make that next step in my life and that is seeing more money pile up in the bank. So I quit, since the job was in the bag. I had done the interview, I had passed it, I had drawn up plans and all. Then the the cat and mouse game started. "You are the best candidate but let us check some others out", "We are failing to synchronize your timetable with the official school schedule","Can you give us more time than this?" I should have read the signs. My house of cards was falling down. I said to myself,"This is how it all ends." They did the "don't call me. imma call you" routine and this was eating at me. I should never have quit before confirmation because I have been waiting and writing this blog explains to you all that this is me giving up. Time to look elsewhere. Only thing that worries me is that it has only been a month and my savings have almost given out. We live for the taking just like the stone age. May be we need to change or may be, I need to change. I feel real stupid right now.
