Hi verbivore, glad to know you and H are enjoying your walks in the open air, will do you both the world of good.

Guess what, I'm munching a raw carrot tonight, unbelievable isn't.

Thank you Izzie, Stormy, Tai Chi, Roberta, JPB, Dutchy and Verby!

I am a little butterflyish this morning. To be honest...if it isn't much more than what I make now I would rather stay where I am. But...I can't imagine that it wouldn't be a pretty significant pay increase. I hope. And if it is I hope I get it. But, I do have my dear friend who has been looking for a job for quite some time, and I told her about this one. She is neighbors with the principle...and she has a Master degree in education and is certified to teach. I am pretty sure I would not be first choice here...but honestly, if she needs it, and she is the better qualified...then she should have it.

But I have to give it a shot. Anyway - I can sub there on my days off if I don't get the job...I think if you sub, it is $75 a day...which is about what I would be making if I were working full time again. I mean - I was just a piddly customer service rep at an insurance company...and those aren't even hiring now since insurance companies are scaling back so much right now...and, I have no experience in anything else. I am useless - at bringing in an income anyway.

But I sure did have fun in college getting those useless degrees. I may be able to start giving voice lessons...but I don't accompany singers well enough to do that without some help. Maybe I can become a wedding singer. HA HA HA HA...well...we will just have to see. One thing at a time.

Aaaaa, I won't think about it right now. I will worry about that tomorrow. Well...I might be worried for a few hours until the interview...well, no, not worried, but I feel sickly-ish now. sh sh sh...

It will be fine. juuuuuuuuust fine. Whatever will be, will be, huh? Thank you all for your sweet wishes though. I will let you know how it goes.

Have a good day each and every one of you...Rest well sweet Dutchy.

HUGS!!!

Good luck mismi,..thoughts and tidings your way.

Thank you Alex. I had a great time at the interview. I love the principle, we would be kindred spirits. Spent an hour just chatting and sharing our stories. But I am not sure about the job. It is a very large task for someone without and education degree....so I am pondering it...just as she is.

Not worried anymore though. Feel like what is meant to be will be. I will know more as I plunder my friends brains that work there. I will keep you all up to date.



I am pretty blabby today. I think I am going to turn off my computer and try to get some work done

Hugs!
mis

Hey Mis

ohhhhhhhhh... will keep my fingers crossed for you that "what is meant to be, will be".

If the job doesn't work out, there's a good reason for it.

I'm glad you went for the interview tho - gosh, nerve wracking. That's an achievement just in itself.

We love you blabby - but yep, go do and pop back when you can. Love you Mis. x

MaMaVerby - ahhhhhhhhhhhhh - so glad you are getting out of the house - YAYAYAYAYAYAY - that will make a difference - it really will. It will be good for him too - you both need to be out and about. I'm glad that things have worked out there.

So, have you got some plans to keep you busy whilst Eby is away - when are his friends arriving - will you be able to do some trips together?

(((((((((((((((((Ind))))))))))))))))))

Ha! Glad to hear it. Raw carrots are the best. (none of that cooking business - nice sweet cold rock hard baby carrot - that's what I like!)


(((Boida))) good to see ya girl xxxx

Alex - oh, you going off again soon, picking at ice? a? a? a? hugs love. x

Stormy - hope you're snow is going girl - we've got torrential rain here at the moment How's school? All OK there. One of our little cluster schools got the OFsted call - that means you get the phonecall and 24 hours later the inspectors come in - which is fine - but it's nerve wracking. Usually they do a selection of schools at the same time in the same area - we might get our call next week so we're a little anxious at the moment. It's nothing to worry about, our school is great - but it's just the whole "inspection" process - yuk. I have to work all day tomorrow to get some paperwork updated - the paperwork is just horrendous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ah well


(((((JPB -snow go... .TC .... snow go.... jw snow go )))))))))
hugs y'all. x

Thanks Iz...I think I meant "principal". oops. Probably best I not teach children. Sheesh.

I had to go get G-baby from school. Asthma attack. Poor little whipper snapper.

I am so sleepy all of a sudden. But much to do before I crawl in the bed and close my eyes...boy I wish I was over there with you right now Iz. I could go to sleep and not feel bad...you know what' s going to happen? I will get woken up and then not be able to go to sleep when it gets time to go to sleep here.

blab blab blab, blab blab, blab blab blab blab..

see? I can't help it.


((Izzie)) Gotta go get the other two whipper snappers

Morning crew. Que sera sera mismi, keeping fingers crossed the job is yours. If you teach as good as you blab, you need not worry. LOL

Izzie you have nothing to fear from them Inspectors, I know your office is immaculate and up to date and the figures all tally up.

Saved myself a heap of money yesterday, went to see an optometrist and he said I didn't need new glasses for another 12 months. One of the most expensive items here!

Taking Mrs.B shopping in a minute, she promised to buy me a cappuccino and a piece of carrot cake if I'd pushed the trolley and not interfer with her shopping list.

HA HA HA - oh my side. You are hil-ar-i-ous Dutchy.

I think it is sweet she wants you to go with her. Taking the Prof. is like taking the kids. All I keep saying is no, no, no, no. He wants to buy everything....just like the kids. I leave them alllllllllll at home when I go shopping. That way - I get my list done and get home.

That must mean you are a pretty good companion when it comes to shopping.

I stuck my finger in my eye. I was going to brush my bangs out of the way and I accidentally poked my finger in my eye....now it feels like I have something in it. So annoying. How DO I do these things?

Thank you mismi, pleased your smiling. Somebody who is not smiling at the moment is dear Izzie, she wants to post but can't get into a2k, she is locked out!

I think I'm a little bit like the Prof. hence Mrs.B bribes me beforehand.

I keep seeing people metioning getting locked out...
How do people manage to get locked out?

Izzie lives in the UK and presently she cannot enter the site, I'm surprised you can?? What's your secret?

AGAIN?!?!?

What's the deal with that? I saw on FB that CI can't get in either.

Hi Abbie! Welcome to the ship.

Hmm not sure.
We live in differnt counties... perhaps that makes a differnce.
Maybe the cornish sprites are giving a hand
Izzie lives in Devon, it's what you get. Nothing works in Devon...

Hi there Abbie! Good to see you here!

I am sorry - poor Iz. I know it's driving her nuts!

I got to peel myself away from here.

hugs to all...hope you get on soon Izzie girl.

me either... yap yap yap yap yap....blah blah blah -

you are Dixie Moi!!!!!

IMA BACKKKKKKKK.... gosh, what is it with me being kicked out a? And I hadn't even made too ridiculous a post that time - ha!!!!!!!! Love those hamsters - I feel like I lose my balance when I know I can't get on here - even if I'm not posting. Hey Ho! That makes me a pretty sad eejit a? HA!




anyhoooooooooooo - oh, poor G-baby! Hope he's had some of his "puffer" - poor little tyke - it's so distressing for them. We have just brought in a policy to allow children to carry their own inhalers at school (we only have a couple of kids with problems), but it's quite a responsibility for them if they are younger. Have a good evening Mis - feet up Dixie. xxxxx



Hey BEAgle - ah, the thing with Ofsted is that they are there to "check" the teaching - not the office. The only thing they check with me is the Criminal Records Bureau check. The first thing they do when they turn up is check the CRB list. If it looks incomplete - they walk out and fail the school. The school can then be put into special measures. It's very serious. Other than that, they are there to "check" the teaching and talk to the kids to see if they are happy. In a school, you just never know what a kid is going to say next either - so it can be quite amusing. It's a good thing in that respect, it just puts a lot of pressure on the teachers for the "performance" on the day!!!! Ha - well, ya know, when you're under pressure to perform, it doesn't always happen a?

<oh, it's Thursday, hush my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!>

So, tomorrow's job is to do the CRB form - it's not part of my job but my colleague hasn't had time to transpose the info onto the new CRB templates - so, I've got a lot of computer stuff tomorrow. Why they have to change the darn format is beyond me. We have a nice long list, all ticketyboo - and now it has to go on another excel spreadsheet in a completely DIFFERENT format. Fer goooooooooodness sake. Enough with the changes, puhlease.

Gotta be done, just in case. My boss is giving me some time off as and when I want it, so that's kinda cool.


Oh BEAgle - just got your message - yep, no probs now - Ima here hun. Thanku. x

HA - HEY ABBIE - that just made me laugh.

I think the A2K hamsters are spinning their wheels with the upgrade... maybe... but I'm back in now and all is good in Devon. Hey - how much rain you got - we got buckets of the stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
