Tuesday - frustrated and disappointed

Today my principal came back to me saying he checked with the region who have said "absolutely not".. he's not going to bother checking with the union though?!?!? grrr.
So am applying to other positions without guilt.
Best news of all, for all my hard work and persistence the other teacher now will have the opportunity to have ongoing (I'm glad for her, but shame about me!!!!!). Ha....great work from me....
