I think sometimes we are where we need to be.

I got a part-time teaching job today. I might start as late as Monday. I go in tomorrow to get set up, get textbooks, meet teachers, etc. Yes, it's local. No moving.

I had the interview today. He didn't even call my previous boss, because he knows him. I thought that strange. He did call the previous school. Supposedly I have trouble with classroom management. He wanted me to promise to work on it.

I promised I would. My real thoughts are that my management isn't an issue. It's the lack of support by administration. But I didn't say that.

So let's hope this is my foot in the door and this develops into a full time job.

Now i jsut need to get energized about the whole thing.

And find a roommate. The money will pay the basic bills and car payment. Just not any other loans.

[Scooter's Mom]

Good luck with the part-time position!
I'm sure you can make it turn into a full time opportunity.

[phesina]

Congratulations, Anne! Best wishes.

I think God puts us where he wants us to be for a reason. We might not see it at the time, but there is a purpose here. Whether it's for you or for someone else, you have what is needed here to turn this into a golden opportunity.

Congratulations on being the person you are - perfect! Go get 'em girl!

Hey, at least you got something for the time being! Things are looking up. Really hope you do find something a little more permanent though.

Thank you, Lillycat. I am trying to keep the faith. My favorite phrase. Faith Manages.

You sound like my friend "S" who said something similar "baby steps". I just need to make rent, car payment stuff, electric and water, cat food, and medicines. The rest I can work out.

Thanks for the good wishes, Alyser

Note: I might have to go into default on a few things. Credit card company was nice. They were pleased I am taking this head on. Charter communications was not. Wouldn't let me cancel the contract or even just keep internet. Said I would have to pay a fine. About 70 dollars. I might do that. hmmm It's one time and cheaper. It's the TV that's expensive. Might call my car people and see what can be done. Maybe pay interest only. Actually loss of income is insured, but I'm not sure it would apply if I resigned. Although I had a good reason.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, Anne. Prayers for a job soon! {{{hugs}}}

[Lillycat]

.....prayers going out from here too.....remember, this too shall pass....hang in there and see it through.

[mrspunkysmom]

I start Monday, which is good. At first I wanted to start today, but I need to get paperwork done, get books, ID, etc. they are creating some new classes due to overcrowded classes and that will take time too.

Haven't signed contract yet and it won't feel final until that is signed. But I'm meeting with people and getting to know people. These people are a way lot nicer than the last two places I worked.

[Karen]

Sounds good so far!

....what does part time mean for you?.....a few days a week or a half-day five days a week?.....just curious as that is new to me....
I think it is grand you have secured a job....the next one will come easier....it is the first one back that seems to be the hardest....
it is nice that you can remain local.....at least for now.....sending positive thoughts to you for the week/s ahead......
