What a blah weekend. I have spent all of today working. Again. And I'm not done yet. Still have to plan for Monday and Tuesday and work on my web site and finish as much grading as I can manage. Then I am dreading going into work tomorrow and seeing my mentor, who has decided she's going to manage everything and fix everything while I stand there and watch. I was just picturing her working in my classroom, and I got anxious and angry all over again. I woke up this morning with resolve to make things better and try harder and gut it out because it just has to get better next year, right? But this afternoon I'm back to thinking that I have made a serious career mistake. And the thing is, everyone compliments my teaching and my lessons. The nonteaching stuff--paper management, classroom management, organizational systems (like cabinets and supplies and so on)--is where I'm getting criticized. I am seriously beginning to resent and dread this job. And I don't know what to do.
