I'd say some bad words about here about f those mf'ers, but this may be a family blog. :)<BR/><BR/>Let's go shopping soon!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402527138728932357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102310.post-54476934637622207142008-08-08T14:42:00.000-07:002008-08-08T14:42:00.000-07:00He's called all the elementary schools in Midlothi...He's called all the elementary schools in Midlothian and been referred back to human resources, and human resources tells him that open positions are listed on the website, that he'll have to apply through there. He's also written letters to all the Midlothian elementary principals, so he's done about all he can except show up in person and jump on someone's desk and dance a jig.<BR/><BR/>And if he does get the Lone Star job, yes, we'll manage. It certainly won't be typical, but hey, why conform? And if he enjoys it and does well, he'll move up and the money will improve. That's actually not the biggest concern with that job. The distance and time away from home is a bigger issue, and it could be managed.<BR/><BR/>I'm still just pissed, though, that local school districts have had big fat nothin' when you keep hearing about teacher shortages. That must be in some other part of the Metroplex.Lisa @ The Plain-Spoken Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589278128659676715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102310.post-66373348200910431002008-08-07T08:28:00.000-07:002008-08-07T08:28:00.000-07:00Has he called the Midlothian principal and spoken ...Has he called the Midlothian principal and spoken with him directly about the position? Frankly, if he hasn't, he should.<BR/><BR/>As for the other job, like we talked about Saturday, it sounds like a really fun opportunity. If he would get it, y'all would learn how to cope. And a little money is better than none, right?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402527138728932357noreply@blogger.com
