I am at Panera ( with their overpriced coffee drinks that I will nurse until the cows come home)
OK
the school is tiny and
the superintendent made me actually cry with happiness
I explained that my sweet baboo will be moving and she suggested places for him to work that are in his area!!!!
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
all the kittens will be in elementary school together...middle school and highschool are in the same building
very small staff
but
super nice
and
they are mailing me a phone book and newspapers and the superintendent has been calling the banks to see if there are any houses available to rent...
It is is the little triangle part of mn that connects with N Dakota and S Dakota
and
there are lakes
and
of course now the schools are calling like gangbusters to get me in for interviews
i may go on one for a prep school that would be outstanding for the kids
but I feel as though it would not be such a good fit as this school and i feel badly for even thinking about it as this school has been so sweet
and
it is a 6/7th position which means that I don't have to get to work until 9:15ish and i start at 34000
which seems small potatos except that that is more than I was making working full time at my last school
I was the speech coach and prom advisor and all that so that added to my salary and I always taught an extra class so it worked out to be more but I will be prom advisor at this school and i will be able to help out with speech and theater
and
houses in the area are around 40000 so the possibility to own eventually is good
and
the crime rate is nil
and
I hate packing and moving but the idea of the adventure is beginning to grow on me
