I am seeing some amazing sunrises though. The sun rising above the frozen sea is breathtaking.
I finally found something at work that I do not like. Stool samples. Yuck! I dressed in disposable clothes and wore a respirator, just to scoop the sample into two small containers. I just could not even handle it. Especially when it is an Ova and Para test. Thankfully I just had to send it to Bethel, not look at it myself. I still shutter.
On a sad note, there was some drama at a school board meeting. One of the people on the board (a person who interviewed me a couple of times for school jobs), specifically and angrily said that they should not be hiring Gusaks ever. Most of the members agreed, which is awkward when your Principal and Vice Principal are there and white. I guess they went on and on with their bigotry. While the Alaska law says they can have native hiring preference, the native person still has to be qualified for the job. You cannot hire someone unqualified just because they are native. Then a teacher/union guy who is way too crazy and obsessive told my boyfriend that I should sue the school district for discrimination since they refused to hire me because I was white, and now there was proof. Oi. So much drama. We told him to leave me out of it. While the person who had the job I wanted may not have been the best choice, the woman they hired for the last job I interviewed for is amazing with the kids. Plus I have my dream job and all is great. It just makes me sad that some people are so racist and do not like me or give me a chance because I am white. This is the opposite of living in Colorado.
