For The Birds

I hate job hunting. Just when something was looking promising, it turns out I still have to wait...

I went on an interview yesterday for a position in the field of Education, although not teaching. Unfortunately the first training day is also the same day I have a screening interview with a very well-known (and well-paid) school district in the area. I can't miss the screening interview because it's my one shot at getting noticed in this district. So, that means I can't start the new job right away; it is broken down into project periods, so I have to wait for the first project to be finished since I can't train for it. Anyway, I have to wait about 4 weeks to be picked up for the second project. But, this is just my dumb un-luck.

When it rains it pours....It's feast or famine...Boom or bust. I've got a thousand of these lines, but they all fit so perfectly.

In the meantime, I will keep searching out a teaching job, because ultimately that is still what I want to do. This is the hand life has dealt me right now, so I just have to roll with it.

Today...

...was a crazy day at work. The Upper Camp kids (grades 5-8) were going on a field trip this morning, and the staff let the buses leave without our Director, Chris. He was not happy. They finally got the buses turned around to come and get him. Fun.

...is my birthday (and my twin's...duh!). Contrary to what you see in this picture, I did not turn 45:


...my sister, Kelli, bought me ice cream from the Jack and Jill truck that comes to our camp at the end of the day. It was Snickers ice cream, and it was delightful.

...I was contacted for an interview for a Middle School English teaching position. That made me very happy, but anxious!

...was a beautiful day. Weather was perfect and the sky was clear.

...I got up at 6:30 a.m. to be at work for a 8:00 a.m. staff meeting.....I'm still yawning.

...a kid told me that he had dried throw-up on his leg. Yeah, that was interesting.

...my cousins came in to my Office at the end of the camp day to give me a birthday present. That made me smile :o)

...I received numerous phone calls and messages wishing me a happy birthday....I've got great friends and family.

...I ate too much at dinner, but found some room for cake :-P

...I'm skipping my exercise class because I feel like it (AND...did you forget? It's my birthday!).

...I laughed hysterically at Preston and Steve on the radio.

...is not over yet, but I look forward to getting some sleep tonight!

M.I.A.

Yes I've been missing in action and neglecting my blog. I've been so busy lately with work, interviews, and other things. I promise to have a longer update coming soon. Now I'm off to watch the rest of A.I....Melinda better not be voted off!!

edit: Melinda went home :-( Blake and Jordin are in the finals....guess all the teeny-bopper girls voted for Blake, even though Melinda was much better.
