I'd rather be in a car than trying to walk somewhere while people like me are on the road, though. There were little bastard schoolchildren on every other corner waiting for the school bus when I was working my way home. :))
Everything is so spread out here that it would take hours to actually get someplace and back. >.> On the flip side, it's all new, which means a nice sea of pavement to hold many cars.
:D :D :D man ok so describe the Draco page to be again 8->
well, draco doesn't have a page solely devoted to him, but on one page, there is a pic of draco and a pic of harry next to it in which harry looks over into draco's direction, clearly pining, if you ask me!
I got the calendar a few days ago! :D I don't know why October is always Ron month >.> but the month before is the H/D one, so I may just . . . leave it on September for two months so I have a nice view for my birthday. >:D
What is this business with bailing and moving to the UK or NZ??
They're pretty and arranged to be interesting, even when the subject matter happens to be fug Weasleys or old gay headmasters! :))
Are there seriously NO leads here? I know the economy is killing job opportunities, but little bastard kids always need to be educated, which requires someone to teach them. >.>
pretty much. although there is one month that has a big pic of slughorn's club and then around are random students i don't recognize.
there are leads here, too, but we are moving towards the end of the job season so i have to apply to everything i find. there's also more competition for fewer jobs and schools can cherrypick their candidates.
No one ever said you can't doodle stick figure pr0n on post-it notes to cover the little squares w/ random Slug Club brats. >:D :-"
://////// Butttt it's only January! How is this the end of the season when jobs won't even start until like . . . the end of the summer? Stupid hiring pplz >.>
because the academic interviewing process is so long-winded and so many people are involved in the decision-making process. between now and the late spring schools will advertise one-year positions as well, but they are obviously not as desirable as a more longterm job. but i'll take whatever i can get!
Indeed, anything that looks halfway decent (and more importantly has a good paycheck!) is fair game, even if it's only a year . . . because if they like you, it could become a long term or permanent spot. :D Since this would be your first time being a real official teacher, is that making you look less appealing to potential takers? Experience versus malleability is a tough call. :-?
well, those one-year positions are usually replacements for someone on leave so they don't really turn into something permanent. but they're a decent jumping-off board.
yeah, experience is one part, and sometimes it's things i have no influence over, like they don't really want someone who mostly studies tv etc. the whole process feels like pinning the tail on the donkey :p
if it's any consolation, i sent off your new calendar today :D

it's a matter of going where a job is :P. although i need to scope out the nz job in some more detail and see if it's actually a good fit.
