Verdict

I found out today that my work contract isn't being renewed for next year. The most helpful quote from meeting with the principal was, "you're very successful with the at-risk population. That's not who we cater to here."

damn. Damn. DAMN. Because seniority is indicative of skill, clearly.

bummer. though your gifts will be greatly welcomed elsewhere, i think. that sounds a bit like a fortune cookie, but i meant it with all sincerity.

Yikes. That statement sounds conflicting to me. How else would the principal know where your gift lies if he/she hasn't seen it put to use?? Nice to know where the principal's priorities are!
I'd be so excited if you end up coming out here!! It will be interesting to see where God leads you.

I never thought of Damn as a word on consolation. Turns out it may be perfection in this instance.
