Job Interview

Well, I got a call today from a Lower School Head at St. John's Episcopal in Tampa.  I talked with her for about 45 minutes about her school and my experience.  She was one of those people who talk and talk and talk and when they give you space to talk they are completely quiet for minutes at a time and you wonder if they are still there...needless to say I can't wait to meet her in person.  St. John's is a religious based school, that is also very academic.  It is a first grade position and it seems it is a wonderful team.  There are two other teachers; one that is my age and another that has been there for many years.  I would be much happier in an older grade, so this is a good move.  I am visiting the school on Thursday or Friday this week.  It does seem promising and although I do not want to get my hopes up, I know I will have good recommendations from ODA.  I can only do my best and be who I am and hopefully they will like it!  

Danny started his first day in Tampa today.  It took him almost an hour there and a little over on the way home.  He was home about an hour later than usual.  He said that he studied manuals all day (snore), and now has a cubicle instead of an office (welcome to the real world!). He does like his new boss and they seem to get along really well so that is off to a good start.  I hope this can be a stable job and we can set up our lives feeling comfortable with what we have.
