So then they started calling
This last week I had two interviews. Next week I have three interviews. FINALLY! Last year I struggled to get any call backs at all. This time I actually have had calls the same day my resume arrived on their doorsteps. I can't help but be a little hopeful. However, I still have a lot of work to do when it comes to applying to the public schools. Their applications tend to be a lot longer and more of a pain in the ass than the private or charter schools. Maybe it's because they have better retirement packages, benefits, and pay. ::sigh:: Baby steps. Baby steps.

So I give them a call
No word from my "former" employers--no letter or call--so I decide to give them a call. This is after I talk to one of my collegues that has given me the lowdown on who is there and who was not "renewed." I talked to my boss who said, "Oh, no one called you?" To which I replied, "No, no call or letter." She said, "Oh, well, the secretary was supposed to call." For a moment, I almost thought there had been some terrible mistake, but no. She was supposed to call about a meeting for summer school, which I am teaching. She DID say that well, they're still deciding about what to do for English teachers next year. There are about 2.5 jobs open, and she hired someone new. She wants someone there with more experience who can teach AP. Who says I can't teach AP? All you have to do is take a short workshop course and I'd be set. Whatever.
I told her I started applying for other jobs, and she said, "Oh, yeah. Don't feel obligated to wait." Yeah, right, obligated. Whatever. Supposedly I'll find out more as things get rolling. I applied to 3 jobs today, and plan on doubling that tomorrow. No way I'm waiting for the administration to get their act in gear. By then I'll be retired.
