BLOODY HELL, WE'RE GETTING NERVOUS!

Things are NOT looking so good for the West Texas State School again. There was talk of closing the facility about 7 months ago (where Gene teaches) when some awful multiple sexual abuse charges were brought against 2 high ranking employees.

The day we left for vacation last week there was a bomb scare and during that....it was found that the superintendent and some other bozo high up employee couldn't be located for a few hours. They were supposed to be at the prison and evidently were not. They are on leave with no pay...duh.

Now today....Gene came home and told me that a female emplyoee was caught last night in a sexual act with an inmate.

And it has also come to light that a file cabinet full of letters that were supposed to be for the inmates were never distributed. WHY would some idiot keep the mail from these kids?
There's a guy who works out there who is leaving in 2 weeks or so...he is very fond of calling the newspapers out there a couple of times a week.

Here's my take on the situation:
It's due to a dozen or so good for nothing-don't give a damn about the school or their jobs idiots that are causing the prison to get such a bad rap and all 278 employees will end up paying the price.
I'm worried they're going to shut it down.
AND I also believe that all the other TYC facilities in Texas probably have the same kind of shit going on...why are we being singled out?
It's such a shame because Gene is a good teacher and enjoys his work there.

I'm bummed.

Gene could probably get hired on at one of the 2 prisons here in Pecos...but it would be about half the pay that he makes now.
If it happens...I guess he'll shop around (like before) while he draws some sorry ass unemployment that won't cover our monthly bills.
Last time around he sent out about 50 applications to prisons AND public schools and got 2 phone calls and one interview.

UPDATE: HE IS GOING TO APPLY FOR A P.E. POSITION IN CROCKETT TEXAS. He has a buddy who has worked there for 13 years.

Love, mary
