Still no Job

It's Tuesday.... and still no sub job. Yesterday could have been my first day because it was the first day of the new payroll. I was ready to go at 6:00am, but no phone call. I was up and ready to go again today and still no call. Bummer!!! I'm getting a little depressed. I can't be sitting around the home all day every day!
I spent all morning today filling out applications. I sent two out for office positions in the school. I also delievered one to the middle school to be a sub there. When I walked into the middle school, I handed in my application and the secretary wanted me to wait to make sure the HR director didn't have any questions. At the same time, the principal was walking through. He asked me if I was certified. I said yes and he said let's talk. So, we went in to his office and chatted. In order to teach in the middle school, you have to have an emphasis in the specific area. I have am emphasis in math and reading, so I am ok there. To sub, I can still be anywhere, but wouldn't be able to take on a full time job. He also talked to me about another program they have going on. It is for average students who need to be pushed just a bit more to be successful enough for college. They start with them at the middle school level, teaching them organizational skills, how to take notes, how to read the text book, etc. I would be a tutor for these students along with teaching them these fundamentals. It is not a full time job, but it would be something consistant. On the days I didn't do this program, I would be able to sub. I had already heard about the program from the math teacher, so had an idea about it. It was good to get more information about it though. They know I'm interested and are going to look through my application. Hopefully that will work out.

The hard part about DODDS, I can not be on the sub list for both the elementary and the middle school. Only one school can have me. Makes it hard on me because I won't get as many phone calls. I have to choose what I want. The elementary is larger and would have more opportunities, but I could have the AVIT position as a tutor along with subbing at the middle school. I'm leaning toward middle school at the moment. I have to go talk to the elementary tomorrow and have them take me off their list. The middle school can't do anything with my paperwork while the elementary has me on their payroll. So, I need to get dropped and then picked up by the middle school. CRAZY!!!!
