Hee.

This weekend and this coming week, I intend to catch up on all of those silly things I’ve been meaning to write in my blog.

Just one quick little tidbit to tide you over in the meantime, though.

Yesterday, I was driving home from a half-day sub job (which is one of the things I have to write about), when I was surprised by a call from a Catholic elementary school principal. It seems she’s looking for a long-term sub, grade 6-7-8 English and Literature, and she got my name from the diocesan Education office.

Money a tiny bit less than I would get as a day-to-day sub, but it’s experience actually teaching in my subject area. And it’s guaranteed work every day. And it’s not having to wonder if the phone is going to ring, or where I’m going to be from one day to the next.

I went in yesterday afternoon for an interview, and she *loved* me. She as much as told me that she had a few more interviews to do, but that she was only doing them out of a sense of obligation. She wanted to offer me the job. She told me that God sent me to them…heehee.

I am almost 100% certain that I’m going to take it if offered. The only down side to pulling myself out of the public school sub pool is that I *might* miss out on a chance to meet the right person for a potential position. But I think the experience gained outweighs that risk.

*update*

I got a message this afternoon offering me the position. I haven’t called back yet. I’ve heard very valid reasons on both sides of this argument. I called my cooperating teacher who was very excited for me and thinks it’s great, that the experience is worth the potential drawbacks on the other side…my aunts think I should keep subbing in the public schools.

Thoughts?
