Still not gettin' comments on here really...hmmm...

Well folks today proved to be a very interesting day. I woke up at 8am to a call from Verona SD offering me an interview to sub for the district. I definitely accepted considering their website says they are already full for subs and it is the school district that I live in. So that is next Tuesday at 9:30 am. Great. With my interview in Oregon complete, which went well in case I forgot to mention, that means I essentially have at least two districts to sub in (similar to last Spring). Madison Metropolitan SD said they started processing references and such this week and would bump me up the list so that is a big possibility for a third with a ton of schools, which is great news considering I quit DT. (I never showed tonight and they only called once 45 minutes after I was supposed to be there-probably means they have a high turnover rate-wonder why?). So everything seems good.
I applied to be a nights and weekends FULL-TIME retail sales associate at Ward Brodt as well. We'll wait to hear what they say, but I am otherwise planning on stopping in there next week to talk to someone face to face.
Around 3pm I get an email from Doc that goes as such:
Theresa....

I only just now found this out, and I realize that you probably already know, BUT I couldn’t take a chance that you didn’t. Chippewa Falls High School is taking applications for Andrei’s old job. If you haven’t thrown your hat in the ring, I’d suggest that you do so....

Later... Doc

P.S. Also sent this to your uwec address and copied it to Liz – when I got your out of office message, I just re-sent the whole thing here. Just wanted to be super sure that you got it.

Ok. What? That can't be right? So as I'm processing that in my head frantically, Liz popped her head in my bedroom door and says, "I'm hooooome". I screamed so loud! ha. Scared the shit out of me. So I showed her and she dials Doc right away and he said that Dave M. doesn't want to stay the whole year and that at some later point they will need a long term sub. It's hard because I want to make sure this is true and don't want to spread rumors or get my hopes up, but it's major news. Why? Because now I live in Madison. I pay rent (well, Liz does and I pay her back sometime). I moved everything down here. I have potential jobs lined up. I don't know if or when this will happen but it's a lot to think about. So I'd rather just wait and see. Why worry about something that won't be happening for months, if even at all?
As Liz wraps up her conversation with Doc my phone rings...It's Madison Met. SD offering me an interview for either of the (still open!) elementary music positions (.9 and .2). I didn't even apply! I was sort of stuttering with the lady trying to explain my situation. I want income, but I'm not very well equipped to teach elem. and Liz would essentially write my lessons every night for me. I might an opportunity down the road to finish the year out in Chippewa, which is my dream job that I thought wasn't even going to be open until the Fall. So I set up the interview and agreed to think about it over the weekend and let her know Monday (before my interview at 3pm). I called a few friends right away. Kristin interviewed for these positions already and never heard back, which is strange. And then I thought to call Matt Tiller, but figured he was settled in Osseo or EC or something. He was really interested and Liz and I both agree he would be a much better fit and we would urge Madison to hire him. If he calls them Monday morning, he might have an interview by the afternoon. He talked to Claire and they're going to go for it-so wish him major luck!!
I don't know if they would hire me anyways, but it would be extremely difficult for me to teach elementary music, pretty much full-time, as a beginning teacher AND in an extremely diverse and large school. I don't think I'd be very happy doing that. If I can sub a lot and save up money, then if I need to move or something in the Spring I can. Looks like a tough semester/year either way.
Then I watched Bryce B.'s video he shared on facebook and almost threw-up laughing (I posted it in my profile too) and then Liz and I drove around Madison looking for comfort food. We ended up at Chili's and weren't too satisfied. Expensive long islands and spicy food and I had a migraine so our plans of getting giddy and drunk at home were foiled by our food coma and indigestion. We watched "The Girl Who Cries Blood" a terrible documentay On Demand about a girl with a blood disorder. Final diagnosis-The mom is probably putting blood on the girl's face making it look like she's crying blood. WTF?
So, crazy day. Tomorrow Fat Z is coming and we're having texas toast with a side of SAILOR. Should be great. Post some comments so I'm more motivated to blog again.
