A Dream

A few weeks back on Pink Friday (as they call it) I was "Pink Slipped." Of course I was expecting one as I am one of 5 teachers who were hired this year so of course they had to, I am super low man on the totem pole. It came certified mail and I had to sign for it. I have been in contact with the union and went to a meeting with a lawyer regarding the whole process. Tomorrow all those who received a pink slip and went through some the process of asking for a hearing have a date to appear before a judge and plead our case. Last night I dreamt I got a letter in the mail stating my name was taken off the list and that I was safe. Late this morning the phone rang and since I was feeding Chieko and being lazy, I didn't get up to get it. I asked Kaida to bring me my cell but by the time she did they had hung up. While Kaida was bringing me the phone I was telling Jason about the dream. When I looked at the caller ID it said Mt View School District. I called back but since it was the general line they didn't know who had called. I then waited to see if they would leave a message and they did. It was the HR department calling me to tell me I was safe and that my name had been removed from the RIF (reduction in force) list that I didn't need to attend the hearing tomorrow and that I should get my official letter stating that tomorrow and that my principal will have it as well. WOWZERS!!!! What a blessing!! Not only that I will have a job but also that I won't have to go sit all day waiting for my turn to appear! I'm telling ya the Lord watches out for us. If we do our part he does His.
