I hope you start talkin' Kristin, 'cause I want to hear what's going on with you!
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, thanks loves. No need for hugs. I'm really fine, just very pensive. The short version is that the director position at the girls' school five miles from our house isn't happening--not because they rejected me but because the Head decided to appoint an interim for a year while she does a revamping of the whole structure (the associate head is also leaving, and I suspect that she is deciding whether she needs both positions or should create new ones). She said she would love to forward my application to the search company she is hiring, but the actual job wouldn't begin until the 2011-2012 school year.
However...I'd heard through the grapevine and just confirmed on their website that an upper school English position has opened. I just sent her an email expressing my interest, so one door closed but another may be opening. I really like this Head. She seems smart, funny, and very thoughtful. I would like to work with her, and I really want to stay at a girls' school. Like Aims, I've found that working with young women is where I seem to be happiest and most successful. The only thing I'm a little worried about is the chance that the interim director is one of the English teachers, so this English position might be a one-year replacement rather than a permanent position...but, who knows? I think it might be worth taking that chance.
I'm just a little concerned that it's already mid-April. I really need to let my current school know ASAP if I'm not coming back, and I won't know that for weeks even if they start the interview process tomorrow. Lots to think about.

And also...because I know it is the 16th in his current time zone though we still have 45 minutes to go here...HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beloved husband! I wish I could spend it with you, but I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with the Nick and ship crew.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Pix, best of luck in your endeavors. I'll be home soon, and when I am, ya got another person to chew the fat with. (Yes, today I've decided, since CA is the first time I've RETURNED to someplace after moving on, it must be HOME!) While in TX, I've gotten a lot better at keeping my apartment presentable (I can't lie, it's not going to be clean). And I will do the same or better with the new place in Long Beach. So invites to come down will be much more ready than before.
ION - HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. SpongeDesign NoisyPants! Hope you have fun on the ship

Happy birthday to NoiseDesign!
Wishing you good decisions and job~ma, Kristin. It's great that another position has opened up at the school.
The Girl is designing bathrooms. I think she's serious about buying this house. We could be home-owners soon! Oh dear, the decorating we have to do.

Some the-right-thing-happening~ma to Kristin.

Y'all make me smile, a lot.
