If the people hiring for a job are calling my references to ask about me, that's a good sign, right?
Yes! Good sign.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Lucy figured it out pretty quick but reacted the other way - the slightest shake of a pill bottle and she came running.
Dogs, man... Gotta love what they will do for a nice nom.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, just got a call -- the school that's probably my first choice right now, the one that was checking my references this morning, wants me to come for a campus interview.

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

Woo! Have you interviewed with them before?

That sounds really promising.

Yeah, I did a phone interview. (I didn't think the phone interview went very well -- I'd gotten almost no sleep the previous night.) It's about an hour and a half drive away, with no good public transportation, so I guess I'll reserve a Zipcar for that day.

The status is NOT quo.
Hil, that's great news! Best luck in your interview.
Barb, I left the house at 6:15 this morning, so the commute was doable. Apparently this construction project is going to be playing the "some days no delay other days watch out" game. I have a feeling the commute home is always going to be worse than the one in, so we'll see how I feel tonight.
I emailed the new school once more letting them know that my current school has given me a Friday 2:30 deadline and asking them gently to let me know if they have either decided to go with someone else or won't have a decision by then. At this point I'm assuming the job isn't going to happen. I've decided that given our current financial situation, I can't afford to resign this year without a definite prospect, so I'm just going to have to deal with the commute (now with added 405/Sunset construction!) next year. I will look actively for a new job closer to home next year. Could be much worse. I do have a job, after all, and I love the girls. So, yeah. It will be okay.
I'm subbing practically every period I'm not already teaching this week. Brain hurts.
