job? what job?
I don't want to be a sub for the full year. Let's get that out in the air right away. I would love to get a teaching position at Sheldon (I know they have one!) but it sounds like they're going to sit with thumbs up their asses until August or so to make a decision about that position. I'd take any job in Eugene 4J really, but I know that all the schools are currently mid-shuffle of internal candidates moving between schools and they all will have their thumbs planted deep into their posteriors for quite some time as well.
That brings me to Springfield. I really don't care where I teach. I really don't. I have an interview tomorrow at Thurston High for a math teaching job and it should go well, least in my mind it will probably go well. I am obviously not into teaching for the money, I could have easily done something else more lucrative with my two, soon to be three degrees, but for now I'll teach. But (and you always know that those exist, especially when posting your thoughts on the interwebs) I will only be here for another year (95% probability - for those math geeks out there [Rich] this is an event that is dependent and I believe to be non-mutually exclusive). This leads me to my other reason to post this here.
I feel like an ass stringing people along about me being here for more than 1 year. I always put it in terms of:
/nice, smooth, educated voice/
well it all depends on what my future wife gets going on, and if she has to move for graduate school, then guess what! I have to move. Don't know how far into the future that will be.
/nice, smooth, educated voice/
But still I feel horrible, because I know that schools really want people who can make that place a community of learners and sticking around for a year sure doesn't help in that department.
Fun time to develop an ethical dilemma about this.
