If there's one thing I hate, it's waiting. I've been waiting all week to find out what jobs are left in our school district after round one. I can't apply until round two and I'm hoping there's something left for me. It turns out that our district is shrinking and teachers are getting laid off, which means there's a huge shuffle of positions, and possibly nothing left for a toc with a temporary contract like myself.
Sigh. And, the worst part is, I need to know soon what I'm doing next year, as I've been invited to a wedding in the middle of the year that I want to go to, but don't want to pay until I know if I can go or not. What to do?
I'm so looking forward to the summer holidays--Mike has booked his time off, and he has two whole weeks from the 12-25th of August off!
I just wish I lived in a city where french teachers were needed. I think D.C. must be the only place in BC that isn't experiencing a shortage of french teachers. Unfortunately, myself and two other members wives, all posted here in the SAME month (!) are ALL french teachers, which means that I'm always competing with them for jobs.
I miss being a university student. Maybe I'll just do my masters while there are no jobs and start working again later.

What bad luck! As if both the other wives are teachers AND french teachers.
I totally hear you on the frustrations of the waiting game. My district is shuffling the grade configuration and I have no idea if I will have a job or what school I might be at if I get one. Because of this shuffle, our district has been very slow. We don't even have the first round out yet. I'm told the deadline for having staffing done is Fri. so our first round should be out after that.
The good thing for me is that our new gr. 8/9 module here will have teachers having to teach both English and SS. Which are both my subject areas. As far as I know, no other temps are certified in both subject areas, so hopefully, I'll be able to beat all the others out if posiitons are limited.
I hope we both know soon and are full-time. Hope all else is well with you...I've meant to email for a while, sorry.
Take care
Hey Sabrina - I feel for you! All this waiting is hard... I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Oh Sabrina,
When the going gets tough... go back to school? You are too motivated ! :)
Hmmm, well, you could always start a detective agency. I'm sure there are alot of crimes that need solving and the RCMP up there could really use your help :)
Yay, looking forward to your August vacation visiting us and Dis-NEEE-land!
Love Jenn
Sabrina,
let me know how things work out. You could always advance your baby making plans... *smile* Or maybe work at another shoe store so that you can add to your wonderful collection. Or a maternity store so when you do have a baby you can get a discount? Maybe we will end up in the same town and you could be David's teacher... that would be great. What ever happens I know you will make the best of it. You are great for that. I am thinking about you. Love, Melissa
