I interviewed with the art supervisor of the district last week. Then the principal's secretary called me and I interviewed with him and his "associate principal." They're both younger than me, btw.
The school's not in white suburban central, which is good, but it's undergoing renovation, which isn't so good. They need someone right away, but I haven't heard anything in the last few days.
Then, this week, I got another call. The art supervisor from my most recent job called me to tell me of an opening that might happen in October, and asked me to come in and interview with her. We talked for an hour and a half. Turns out the current teacher's letting the kids have all the power. Not good, but also sometimes easy to let happen.
So I've got two opportunities here. To be honest, part of me's kinda mad. I'd already made peace with the fact that I'm no longer a teacher in a public school. Now, apparently the universe has other plans for me, or it's all some big cosmic bait and switch to pull my attention away from the plans I'd made outside the public school arena.
But I'm trying to be positive here. I'll get a pay raise, and it'll be a new school and a totally different experience.
Also, two of my friends have recently announced that they're expecting. One of whom tried over and over, so that's good. Another of whom I'm proud to know. And her husband too.
Congratulations seem to be in order a lot today.

1. Thank you! It's still a little hard to believe - that I'm actually pregnant. I'm almost afraid to talk about it too much, because it's still early, but on the other hand, I want to tell everyone.
2. It's always good to have career options. Even if you get offers, you don't necessarily have to take them, but it's always good to be in demand.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything.
