So it seems that someone was listening to me yesterday when I was complaining about the wait. During a staff meeting yesterday, I checked my email on my phone and was shocked to find one from my recruiter - I have been recommended for the job. In the Facebook group that has sprung up around this job opportunity, it is referred to as the "golden email". Next we wait for the "golden offer" (the salary/contract offer) and then finally, the "golden ticket" (the e-plane ticket to actually leave).
I'm really happy, but really nervous. Now comes the big ordeal of telling everyone I know and dealing with those reactions. Here are my predictions:
Ex-husband: Really, really mad. He's going to fight me on bringing the kids, who want to come along. This might get ugly.
My School: Again, might get ugly. I'm thinking that I should wait a while to spill the beans because these folks have a history of firing teachers with no notice (charter school).
My Mom: She's going to be confused until she researches AD and finds out that the national pastime is shopping and how much money I'll be making. Then she'll be fine with it.
Jon's Mom: She'll be fine. She has two other new grandbabies to spoil ;-)
Jon's Work: They'll be ok, as long as they have plenty of notice.
My Friends: Will be supportive and excited for me. The one friend I've told in confidence is over the moon. Apparently AD has been on her vacation bucket list for a while, so I should be seeing her soon!
I really do need to figure out how to put pictures on here - Jon's blog, bummingaride.blogspot.com, is so much cooler than mine!!
So that's it for now!
