Jobs, Jobs & Education

Well, lets see.. what's going on lately? Well, my wife, Lucinda, is currently in the application process at Woods charter school in North Carolina. She is applying for an elementary teaching position. Quite frankly the process is going way to slow for me, but then again this is usually a quick thing in my business. You send in your resume, if they like it they call you, you do a cooking test and if you are the best applicant you fill out the application and figure out pay and when you start etc. For her though, she sent in her resume and educational philosophy, then the principal sent it to the director of the elementary division, who then contacted her and had her look at some websites and respond with what she thought about them as they pertain to the school and how it is run. She has done all this and is now waiting for a reply from the director of the division about it. It's been four days now and I and starting to wonder what the deal is. I know she really wants this job and would do anything for it and to get it. I know they are really interested in her too. There website is actually very slow unless you are on a fibre channel so I wonder if it is just that there email server is down. I don't know. If she doesn't hear from them tomorrow she will be calling the lady she is in contact with so that is good.

As far as me, I am ready to move out of Michigan. The state, and the state of the state, pretty much depress the hell out of me. I also want a new job. I love what I do, just not where I do it. At the same time how many people are going to pay me what I make as a first cook for only a few months of time. It's not likely to happen so I am very leary of going anywhere until we move. Hopefully that move will be to North Carolina. I have been there before and I think I would like it. The job that Lucy is looking at is in the Chapel Hill area, well, actually in Chapel Hill.

Also, I have found out that even though I graduated in December (Dec. 17, 2007 is the offical date) I won't be getting my diploma until June after comencement. What College does that. Every institution I know of gives you your diploma after you graduate, maybe it takes a month in the mail, but it gets there.. it doesn't take 6 freaking months... I still am looking into who I can twist to get it because this is just wrong!!


I think that's is..
