Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

Closed Threads

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

How funny do I find the inherent drama in a "Save Drama" protest? It's oxymoronic, in a weird way.

ChiKat, that totally sucks. I am sorry. It doesn't help, but at least you have the prime teachin job season to send out resumes. Last year, I got my "no contract renewal" speech on May 2nd -- 4 days before major surgery.

My advice? Start NOW, today. It burns like hell, but do not wait.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

According to our contract, they have to give out RIF's at least 45 school days from the end of the year, so the deadline this year is March 17 (I think).

I started job hunting back in January when they told me the drama program was getting cut. I updated my resume and stuff. I know of 3 speech/drama positions and I have already applied for them. This month is when most of the posting will go up, so I hope to find more positions coming available soon.

I'm also starting to look out of state. Mainly Colorado and Iowa.

My principal did say she'd write me a letter of recommendation, so that's good.

Because books.

ChiKat, I'm so sorry. That SUCKS. And just out of curiosity, what does "RIF" stand for?

Erin! Glad to hear you recuperating so well! It's so nice to see you around here.

You're using the REAP system, right? Don't forget that some schools are stupid and don't post there. I used REAP and went directly to district websites -- sometimes, even with REAP, you have to apply both places.

Job-hunting for teaching positions sucks ASS.

Reduction in Force, as I'm sure will be cross-posted. Ever so much better than "downsizing," don't you agree?

Amy, it's good to see you too! It's been a while, hey?

Ohhhh, I'm seeing a silver lining. Douglas County schools - check them out.

Is Clark County (Las Vegas) still the fastest-growing district in the country? How do you feel about desert and sin, ChiKat?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think the real estate bust has hit Las Vegas hard, no?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Las Vegas is definitely doing poorly right now--my sister and BIL live out there, and their rental house is surrounded by ones in foreclosure. In fact, they had to leave their last rental when that one went into foreclosure.
