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

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!

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.

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......

2 blocks per day. about 3.5 hours. It's an B-B and Skinny schedule. For non-educators, that means that some courses are offered on alternating days all year for 90 minutes each. Freshman courses are offered at 45 minutes each every day. Classes are blocked together to facilitate scheduling.

This is half-pay. It's still good pay. Way better than minimum wage. I might get to sub in the mornings when teachers have to be out part day.

o.k......thanks for letting me know. I was a first grade teacher ......so was just wondering.....it sounds the best so far.....and nice that you may be able to pick up a little subbing too.....

[mrspunkysmom]

yes, it does. That's okay.

I'm being Silly. I have to have a birth certificate to be employed in this district. I guess my 40 year old SSN card (I'm older) isn't good enough. So the last time i used that card was 1978 to get my license. At least I that was the last time I used my birth certificate. I've seen it since. I might have used it when mom passed to prove my existence.

So, of course, I cannot find it now. I'm not losing a job over a certificate, so I just ordered one or two.

What's funny is I have the actual hospital records of my birth with discharge papers. I hope the lady inn payroll will accept the records in lieu of certificate until it arrives.
