It's Interview Time...Again (Post Script)

Well, I have an interview scheduled for Monday afternoon. And before you ask...no it's NOT for a teaching position but it is in a classroom/tutoring setting. The hours are good because they would work around subbing. And it would be steady...which my current job status is lacking. The lady that interviewed me the first time said she'd be surprised if I wasn't hired on the spot. I'm refraining from any sort of hope. I know...that probably sounds very wrong, but I've discovered that gearing myself up for a good thing and then it not being a good thing is tough. So, I'm going to be cautiously optimistic. I suppose I'll have some sort of a better feeling next week. We'll see.

Post Script: There is a twisted little journey to the end of this tale. Yesterday (Sunday) my mom saw an ad in the paper for the same summer position that I had last year. I loved that job and had a blast! So, I wanted to apply. I figured I might have a leg up considering I was the assistant last year. Well, as things normally do, there were some changes. The person that hired me last year isn't the same person that is there this year. And while she does know me and our chat this morning seemed to go well, I'm not banking on anything. Oh did I mention that this job (if I get it) would start the first of May? Well, I went ahead and kept my interview time with the after school program job. And I was offered the position...I start tomorrow! How cool is that :o) Okay...dilemma. I want the summer job. I couldn't turn down this job. So, I have a job and a plan in case I'm offered the other summer job. I kept telling my mom how it would all work if this happened and then what if this happened and finally what if this happened. She said "what if you wake up from this dream sometime soon?". Yeah, I have a real helpful parent. Anyway, I start tomorrow and we'll see how it goes. I am excited though!!! Is it okay to be more excited by the paycheck than the actual job? I hope so.
