Day One:
I was sitting on the couch contemplating what to do after my long (sarcasm) work day. As I was checking my e-mail I realized that I had an unsent message in my draft box. So, I opened the e-mail and realized it was my resume that I had never sent out because I did not know what to put in the e-mail. Well, a few days prior to this finding my brother had sent me some resources on how to communicate with districts and principals. I found the e-mail he had sent me and read over what he put in the e-mails he sent to principals. I figured it couldn't be that hard to come up with three interesting facts about my teaching, so I began to think what would catch the readers eye. Let's just say this process took a bit longer then I had expected, anyways I came up with the perfect to the point e-mail and sent it along to the human resource department.
Day Two:
I drove home the morning of day two because I had an eye doctor and a dentist appointment. I like to be proactive and get my check-ups done in the same day, plus I like to save on gas. My mother and I went to the eye doctor and found out that my vision hadn't changed..yay! Then we proceeded to have a small coffee break before heading to the dentist. Please keep in mind the whole time these events are taking place my pupils are about five times their normal size, pretty much I look like I am strung out on something. Anyways, so we head to the dentist, which I love going to by the way, while I am getting my teeth cleaned some weird number calls and leaves me a voicemail. I listened to the voicemail and it was one of the human resource ladies calling me to see if I am interested in moving to Arizona. Clearly I said that I would be willing to move, so she contacted the principal and let her know.
Principal Time:
The principal called and asked if I was going to be in Arizona anytime soon. Shocker, my response was sadly I will not be in Arizona any time soon. In my mind I was thinking, if you hire me then of course I will be in Arizona soon. She proceeded to talk with me a few minutes and then set up an interview for 2:00pm (5:00pm) that same day. Being the smart educated person that I am I looked at the clock which said 1:50 and said, "Arizona time right?" Well, five o'clock came she called but had to hang up because her mechanic called. I completely understand the importance of a great mechanic, I do miss and love my mechanic back home. Anyways, so she called me back and I interviewed with her for about forty-five minutes.
Time to Visualize: Our apartment has horrible cell phone service if you have the provider At&t, which I do of course. So, when the principal called I ran to the only quite place I knew my car. I got into the car and closed the door so that I could concentrate on the interview, a few minutes into the interview I began sweating unlady like amounts. I thought to my self maybe I should open the door and let some air in so I do not pass out, but of course right at that time cars started driving past. I didn't want to screw up my chances with getting the job so I closed the door and continued the interview. By the time the interview was over I was red faced and had drenched my dress with sweat, it is a great thing she couldn't see me at that moment.
When I got back downstairs to Jared he asked how the interview went. My response, "I feel like a nasty pig, but I think the interview went good for the most part. Now time for a shower."
Yours Truly!
Yours Truly!
