Sorbet is good.

There's been a long, long hiatus from my active participation in this blog. I know you've been pining for a little bit of my trademark haterade-drinkin, wit-spewin, system-bringing-down- bloggin'.

But it's hard out there for an imp (ish online persona).

First of all, I'm not really fellow-ette any longer, and I'm not going to lie that that's giving my blogging a bit of a struggle finding a vrais identity. Should I sign my posts "semi-unemployed-but-still-on-payroll-ette"? It doesn't quite roll off the tongue. Neither do I wish to be "journalista," yet/ever because...eww.

(Incidentally, though, for readers who gallivant on the upper east side... check out the chartreause drop-boxes containing this mag to see a little of fellow-ette's work/selling-out. I know there's a semi-full one on 72d and lex... the one on 79th and 3rd got emptied today.)

And in conclusion...
Still hung up on edjumication? Read this e-mail from a fellow just -uit fellow-ette, which mysteriously made its way to AGW:

I just got the new "NYCTF Bulletin" and it is plastered with stuff for new teachers and it made me really MAD so I just needed to vent... For example, I noticed that it says that your NYC Board of Ed. mentor will visit you TWO TIMES PER WEEK, with one observation and one meeting. My mentor, who by the way was worthless and who I also heard makes a lot of money, visited me AT MOST once per month, and didn't even start observing me until second semester. In fact, my [CUNY college A] mentor who came once a month observed me more than she did. Honestly, if I had had even one person who gave a damn how I did and how I was doing, my first semester would have been so much better. Instead, I got hired so that I could be fired in a year, my school treated me like shit, observations were threats rather than designed to help, and literally no one cared. I got observed ONCE by my principal, and driven out with the threat of a "U" for the year, so I would be kicked out of the program. I guess getting this newsletter reminded me of how I felt a year ago -- like I was nervous but really CARED and wanted to do it and do a good job -- and the year just sucked all of it out of me. I'm just so mad that they set people up for failure and threaten people with paying back money if they quit. Or that they pretend to care and actually just want to get a person in the classroom and scare you enough to stay there. It makes me so mad all over again, even though I'm not even doing it anymore! I want to write an editorial or letter or something about all of this. [Elite College A] RECOMMENDS this program. [Elite College B] probably does too. It's so absurd. The program is just a huge sham. Or something

Just so my readers remember why this all started.

Thanks fellow fellow-ette, for letting your words leak to AGW's readership.
