From the fire into the flames???

Well, that is me! As you may recall I left my other school due to not getting along with principal, and now i am at new school. And guess what? Principal here is even a bigger WITCH (yes that is totally possible!) than other one!!! :banghead:

This school is much older and I have 2 buildings, and so I do a ton of running around, which is good (maybe I will lose a pound or two!).

Anyway, I am still happy I made the switch and I have been dotting my I's and crossing my T's and being the PERFECT school nurse ever! But I just have a feeling that new principal hates me...of course if she spoke to old principal that would make sense (I am hoping she didn't but you never know). I don't know why the original nurse left here, and I did not speak to new nurse at my old school, and I would not diss them anyway.

Oh well, politics of schools, basically if you are not a teacher you are crap to them, and get blamed for everything! I still love it though, and wouldn't go back to to hospital nursing ever!

Is it "Out of the frying pan into the fire"?

Sorry your new school isn't any better! Maybe time will soften her to you?? You can win her over!

Having a difficult admin is a challenge. Mine is almost always awesome...until I am too loud, caring or whatever upsets the balance in a Type A world. I have no doubt I am respected professionally for what I bring to the school and the kids and staff. However, this person likes things just so and has apoplexy when looking at my desk! I can find what ever I need and don't need to have my pencils all lined up for the next day.

I was waiting for Old Dude or Flare to say that you're only one crisis away from being the best thing since fried potatoes....truth.

Do you feel like having a conversation with this person? Or do you think that's not even going to help?

I have only spoken to her like twice for 2 seconds each time. she seems to avoid me, and I have not initiated a conversation with her, she is VERY busy (a lot more discipline issues here). I should talk with her, but I am afraid!!! LOL (I know, right!)

Love your attitude. Something I tell my boys often when they have a tough relationship with someone and they leave, God (or fate, if that's your thing) will always keep difficult people in your life to grow you, you either learn or stay miserable. Way to grow!
