2 More Days

Thank you for all your kinds words and prayers! R's whole day interview went pretty well and he's going to know on Friday via a telephone call if he's making it to the next round. The only problem is that the AVP guy is then going on vacation which is going to put a halt to the process for a week, darn people thinking they need time off, lol. So if he hears on Friday that he's made it through to the next round (I feel like I'm talking about Ame.erican Ido.l or something here) then he'll have another half day interview with the AVP guy who would be his boss and the the president of the college! When did these hiring procedures become so freaking long and technical???? So if he makes it on to that round then he'll probably have that interview the week after spring break, so around the middle of Apr.il. From there they are supposed to choose a candidate. Right now there are four people including himself and they are going to bring back two people, so he has a 1 in 4 chance. Don't get me started about chances though because he had a 50% chance and a cousin in law that worked in the university for the last job and that didn't seem to help. I'm definitely going to be on edge Friday staring at the phone every minute, but let's all pray for it to ring. All we can do is take one step at a time.

On to my latest annoyance, thanks for listening. So I was supposed to sub today for a teacher. She told me yesterday that she was "definitely" taking today off and that she would set things up with me later on in the day. Well later on in the day she left school to go pick up her girls. So I left all my contact information with a note that said I could for sure do it and she never called. There were 2 other jobs today that I could have picked up but I didn't want to pick up something when I already told her I would sub for her. Needless to say it's 6:30 in the morning and I still don't know if I have a job for today or not. Next time if I have this type of situation again I'm going to include in my note, "If I don't hear from you by 7pm then I'm going to assume you don't need me and schedule another job." Hindsight sure is 20/20. Spring break starts tomorrow so I'm not going to get a job for the half day tomorrow if any teacher wants to be paid for the break. If they take off the day before or after a holiday/break then they don't get paid so I'm pretty sure that my spring break is going to start early.

I'll for sure update on Friday with the news, keep your fingers crossed that it's good!!!!!!

Oh I soooo hope that R gets a call back!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I hate long drawn out interviews like the ones he's going through - I had to do tons of them in grad school when interviewing for fellowships. Ugh.

Anyways - that is so not nice for the teacher not to contact you at all. That's a great idea though to set a deadline next time around.
