… for word from Local High School about whether or not Mrs. Chili will be an EMPLOYED teacher next year, let’s read some of her favorite poems, shall we? From the more serious to the more absurd:
You darkness, that I come from,
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in [...]

I’ve Been Tagged…
Blue tagged me.
Anyway, here we go:
I AM BLESSED: with a loving husband, two beautiful, healthy children, some AMAZING friends (you KNOW who you are), everything I need in life and pretty much everything I want, too.
I WANT: my house – finished, put together, and moved into BEFORE Christmas, dammit!
I WISH: I had more time (or [...]

In Perfect Balance
I love Kizz.
She’s known me for going on 20 years. She makes me laugh nearly every day. Even though I don’t get to see her but once or twice a year, we “talk” almost daily via the wonder that is iChat, so I get to count her as one of my closest [...]

If I Get the Job…
…and I’m not saying I WILL, but if I DO;
…I want to spend a bunch of money – maybe even my first paycheck – here.
…And I want Mbungo’s brother, Wayfarer. I shall name him Jobu and he shall be the keeper of all things lost (and confiscated) .

In-ter-view, Num-ber Two!
I just like the way that rhyme sounded…..
Anyway, I went in for my second interview at Local High School and, I think, it went very well.
I met with three of the four people I met with last time and answered essentially the same questions as before, though in slightly more depth. I was asked [...]

What’s the POINT?!
I was on the phone with CT this evening. She’d had a rough day today; it seems that an afternoon meeting produced more than its fair share of frustration for her, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
CT is one of six freshman teachers in her school and, of those six, CT’s been [...]

Thursday, 3:30
That’s when I’m meeting the school for my second interview.
I came home this evening to find that a message had been left at about 7:20. I called back and spoke to one of the interviewers – I’m guessing I called him at home – who asked me whether I’d prefer the 3:30 time [...]

Still Nuthin’!
I’m not holding out on you, Dear Readers, I swear. I promised I’d let you know as soon as I heard something from the job front and, well, I haven’t really heard anything yet.
I got a message from Sam, my university supervisor, today saying that he had been called this morning for a reference [...]

Tom Petty Was Right
The waiting IS the hardest part.
Friday, I got phone calls from both Wayfarer and CT, telling me that the people from one of the schools I interviewed with last week had called them to check my references.
This is as far as I’ve gotten in an interview thus far. Of course, I’ve only interviewed in [...]
