Job Search

Congrats!

OK! Good going. I worry slightly about FGodmother, but you can deal with her, and there's always someone to deal with.. besides, she seems very straightforward, a good thing.
Excellent re the pay, as in income, also a jump up in the system on payscale, re resume.

Darn right about the resume, osso. I've known people to start working on the next job (resume, portfolio, networks, etc.) as soon as they start their current position.

I just left a ph0ne message declining the TA job I was offered (ack, a message! But better they know sooner than later). So, I guess I am at Fairy Godmother's mercy at this point.

<breathing>

I wish I knew more. This job will be tough. I'll be doing the job of 2 people, in effect, for the pay of one. I spoke with the Previous Principal and he says this will be a good job for me to use to fill out my resume (he offered jobs I REALLY didn't want).

(edit: out of district principal just called back to thank me for the interview and wish me luck - THAT'S quality. Now I hope I made the right choice).

Oh wow! Progress! Jobs being offered! (They always come in multiples, don't they? Just to make things a little more complicated...)

The "at the mercy" part makes me nervous, especially given the .01% chance that the previous one wouldn't work out -- or is this the previous one, after all?

Two jobs for the price of one also makes me nervous -- but you work so hard anyway and it'd be great to see you making a living wage...!

Everything crossed for ya...

So...Little k has a TEACHING job, right????

It isn't a classroom teaching job where I am the head teacher. It is a job where I REteach a group of kids with special needs outside of their classroom.

Congrats, Lil'K...

This is a great step forward.

Have you got a written contract in your hands?

NO! Ya know, I don't think I have ever had a written contract.

Will contact the Fairy Godmother tomorrow.

hmm, maybe it's different there. Here, nothing happens work-wise without a written job offer. Our school boards are big on contracts.

oh.my.f'ing.god.

I'm going to kill her. I have been sititng and waiting today, worried that the other shoe would drop. It just did. oopsie, maybe there isn't that job I told you about. I'll let you know in a day or two.

Do I even want to work for this fickle FG?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, now things are all set again. 5 minutes later. She thinks.

Oh my god!!!

This is crazy!

Yeah, I gotta wonder a bit about working for/ with her after this rollercoaster...

I just want it down on paper.

Yeah.

Fingers crossed.

She had contacted Previous Principal to see if he still had a position for me BEFORE she called me. He gave her a little grief, I think. But, he does still have a position.

It would have been better to take the out-of-district position than what PP has to offer. But, that's no longer an option.

Keeping myself crosses as well.

what the hell

I wish I knew.

grrrrrrrr
