Then everything happened at once...
I have no idea what it is about today. It seems as if the stars are right or something because today everything is literally happening at once.
Well, not all at once but all happening today.
So far (and bear in mind we have several hours of the day still to go here...)
- Deadline for one of the jobs I have been interested in applying for at one of the schools I visited on Friday (application in and sent off, so only waiting for responses from that now and the interview date is before the end of this month).
- An e-mail from another job I sort of started applying for and then realised it wasn't for me for various complicated reasons (I discovered it was actually a teacher training on the job role and since I am already qualified...) asking why I hadn't completed the application form yet.
- An e-mail from one of the NQT pools I applied for saying I had been shortlisted and to expect calls from schools for interviews and for references to be contacted etc. I read the term 'shortlisted' in this context as 'we have looked at your application form and established that your PGCE is not from the Mickey Mouse School of Purchased Online Degrees (good old MMSPOD, the Alma Mater of so many deluded morons) therefore you are a real teacher and can apply for NQT posts' rather than any actual testement to my great achievements as a teacher but it is still cool.
- Two text messages and a missed phone call from a supply agency (I forgot my phone was on silent after Friday's school visits) about a long term (until the end of summer term) supply job that I could be right for. Only issue... its in Oldham. Time to check the Transport Greater Manchester website for whatever convoluted and trans-spatial warp hole related means of transport I will need to use to get there on time every morning...
- Finally, I also got an e-mail from 'da Boss' who is in charge of 'Secret Project of Secretness'. Not only am I getting paid soon (yay!) but the secretproject of secretness website is now live and I spent some of this morning ogling over it and seeing my writing in situ (and spotting all the mistakes but I am sure Russ will correct them on his trawl) with the art and everything to make it look pretty. The site officially goes live on Friday along with a Kickstarter project being launched to fund more art and writing. I will post the link as soon as it goes officially live so you too can ogle. And I can also tell you all about it without the secretness to stop me.
So, yes... a lot of stuff happening at the moment and feeling a lot more confident about being employed and not bankrupt in the next few months.
