Knowing when to speak out, gaining perspective and losing my job

Of course, if I had to name the top anxiety I feel since being an ATR, it's the last item in the title of this posting. Norm Scott notes in Ednotesonline.com that only 16 ATR's have been hired since the union and the DOE made the "agreement" not to force anyone to hire us, but to provide financial support for some principals who hire some of us.

In the surrealist festival which is my day job, I sometimes take too seriously my inifinitessimal role in the school and don't realize how much everyone else does.

A great depression builds over me for I have done no good in a long time and I have not learned that it doesn't matter if I personally do good, at all.
