As Charles mentioned in the last update, I was waiting to hear from yet another school I had interviewed with. The director said he would call by Monday to let me know his decision. Well, Monday came and went. Then Tuesday followed, as well as Wednesday! By this point I had basically given up all hope and had filed this one away with all of the other rejections piled up over these last few months.
It wasn't until Thursday that he actually called, and it was with some good news. He asked if I would be able to start on Monday! I mentally checked my empty schedule and said, "yes, of course!".
Later that same afternoon I met with the director to discuss some of the details, and unfortunately it turns out that in order to keep this job I will have to give up the summer beach job! While I was really looking forward to it, I have to take into account that this job pays better for working fewer hours, and it means I have a job for next year and on and on.
It was disappointing that I was forced to make a choice, but at the same time the decision wasn't a difficult one. I have to think about the long run, period. So, now I am faced with telling the family that I won't be able to work for them after all, and I'll need to try and find someone to replace me (anyone interested??).
And wouldn't you know it, I got this job yesterday afternoon, and this morning our boss from Washington school calls to offer me 10 hours a week that will now surely clash with my new schedule!! When it rains it pours!
