un-labor day

I received a call last nite notifying me that I didn't have to work today, which was excellent because I was scheduled from 3-11. So I sit here now and don't have to leave for work in 20 minutes...Some news on the teaching front...Got a rejection letter from Glen Ridge on Saturday, which was a stellar way to start the day, but I soon got over it. I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if the principal will tell me exactly why or if he would recommend something for me in the future. I will also call Clifton to make sure I'm on their sub list and tell them to start calling me asap. My mom informed me about a possible job in a Catholic school. The lady who works at the local deli works as a preschool teacher for a school in Clifton, and the current 4th grade teacher will be moving by December. Another person I have to call tomorrow. So there is still a dim chance I may end up with a full-time teaching job by the end of the year, otherwise, I'll at least be subbing. I also saw an ad for Sylvan Learning Centers and they need teachers, but no one was there today, so I'll call them tomorrow. I hear you can pretty much make up your own schedule there if you're part-time, so that may be good to do some days after school.

This morning, my dad and I were tossing around my new Bengals football, and one of my throws hit a wire, as our throws had done hundreds of time over the years, but this time, the wire came down with the ball. Oh crap! Luckily, it wasn't a live wire. We think it's a phone wire for the house across the street and told them, but their phones and cable were working fine. Apparently she called the phone company to have them come by and do something with it. This ended our football season prematurely.
