"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Make it so

Yesterday I had an interview for a new job. This afternoon, I have another. Either job would be a great step in the direction I would like my teaching career to take; the first is a .50 library position and .50 Grade 7 history/geography; the other is full-time Special Education support. I feel very good about the interview yesterday, I think I made a real connection with the principal. There was one area where I wasn't really as prepared as I would like, but I think I did well overall. The school is very different than the one I am currently teaching at, which would be a nice change, too.

Today, I am interviewing with a principal with whom I have worked before, and who seemed very high on me previously, so I feel very positive about it. It's also quite close to home.

Official job offers don't need to be made until March 23. I may hear before, but with March break looming it is likely I have quite a wait ahead of me. Send some good thoughts my way.

Aren't you supposed to be resting, young lady?

Seriously–if you must do anything, this is it! Yay, positive steps forward! I am sending lots of good thoughts your way.

Allison... that's great!

All other things being equal - I'd like to put my vote in for the one that's close to home. Less travel time makes work days that much shorter and less stressful (especially if you have to deal with traffic).

I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you.

I'm going to endorse this course of action on the basis that 'a change is as good as a rest' ;). But do make sure to get in some actual rest as well!

I send you good mojo.
