JOB!
I have a job. It is not the one I thought I was going to have at the start of the term.
Well, firstly, the job at the school I've been working at for this term, wasn't as permanent as I thought it was going to be. Crossed wires or whatever, but they were actually advertising the permanent position, and I was just filling in for first term. Good chance of staying on, but not guaranteed.
A few weeks ago I got an interview for another school library position. Usual nerve-wracking interview procedure, etc. etc... then I got rung up the next week and was offered the position! This was great in and of itself, except that the school I'm currently at (and would like to be staying at! ;_;) was still advertising for its permanent position, and there wouldn't be a decision about whether I'd gotten the job for another few weeks. So basically I had to accept the other job, or I might end up with nothing at all.
Of course it's not quite as disappointing as I might be making it sound - it's great to have a permanent job! - but it's just a bit hard when I've been making such an effort to get to know my current school and the people there (getting to know lots of people is a struggle, and at other temp positions I haven't really gotten to know anyone beyond the other library staff), expecting it to be a permanent position, and now it feels like everything's been thrown up in the air. It's starting to settle, but I'm still trying to get my head around it all.
The new school seems nice. Bigger than where I'm currently working, and it's a secondary school instead of primary/secondary combined. (A pity; I'd rather work in a primary school. I can't get mistaken for a student there.) I've been working there on Fridays for these last couple of weeks, so it won't be quite so much of a jump from one job to a completely new one.
So yeah. That's the big news in my life lately. Basically good, if a bit muddled. ^_^;
Oh yeah, I've finished my house-sitting - went pretty well. It was a bit frustrating because I didn't have any room to put stuff away in cupboards, because they were all full of the owner's stuff. So all my food had to sit out on the kitchen bench, and because of that, I had no bench space. But overall I had a good time - I'd certainly be fine if I did move out on my own. (It's something to look forward to! ^_^)
