So at the beginning of the semester I was told that my program (A very large Commercial Heating and Air Conditioning trade school) was cutting back and I was part if the solution. Since I'm on a contractual basis, the school just didn't renew my contract and I'm out of a job.
But not really.
The department head that replaced my old boss is a major micro manager and we have clashed many times over the past year. It got to the point that I just started to ignore the guy and just taught the classes the best way I knew how (I'm a very heavy lab work instructor = MONEY). The tipping point came when he hired a adjunct (part time) instructor that was a 'ol buddy (read former employee) of his and would not stop gushing about how good of an instructor he was, and at that point I knew my days were numbered. Armed with this foreknowledge, the day I was informed that my services were no longer needed, I announced that I had accepted my department head's former position with a very large service company from which he parted (read FIRED) for an unsubstantiated HR conflict
.
But it doesn't stop there, I have also accepted an adjunct instructor position with the local community college and starting up their commercial heating/air conditioning and building automation program.
So, I'm making more money now, and I still get to teach. I could have almost thanked the guy. But instead I told him where to find the box of fuses that I pulled from every piece of HVAC lab equipment on the campus (I tossed in a few boxes more from stock and shook it up real good).
I know, I know, Bad BAD gunner.
What can I say, I had a moment of weakness, and I shall REPENT!
Let's see
4 bowls of Larry's Blend
2 bowls of FVF
and a bowl of Carter hall
What say you?
