So, I interviewed last week for that job at COCC I desperately want. I mean, come on, I've wanted to work for COCC for-ever, and with my background with students with disabilities, I'm obviously perfect - of course, Idiot Dave here, while coming armed with lots of question to ask the interviewers, forgot to include "So, when do you expect to be making a decision?" D'oh! So I've been anxiously sitting by the phone waiting for a call from the 541 area code...waiting...I suppose I'll give them a phone call later today just to check on my status, not to seem desperate or anything...
It's a surprisingly slow Monday here at work. It's the first day of classes here at WSU, and we're normally swamped with students, but so far it's quiet...perhaps too quiet.
I'll keep y'all updated should I hear anything.
UPDATE: I didn't get the job :(
While I understand they were very impressed with me, one of the other applicants had been doing the exact same job at another community college for nine years.
On the as-bright-as-I-can-make-it side, the SSD director did make it clear that she is still very interested in bring me in in some sort of Assistive Technology position, should the funds become available...whenever that might be.
Might as well start stumping for the next COCC bond measure.
I'm bummed, and will no doubt be getting my drink on tonight, but it could be worse, I suppose. I at least have a job at present, and assuming I still move down to Bend this spring, I'll have nicer weather to do it in. So I got that going for me. I'll take what I can get, I 'spose.

Hello,
Things usually happen for reason, even if it does not make much sense at this moment in time. -much like last week when I was told for the 9th year in a row, I'm not worth much (i.e. no raise). For my job description, I'm the lowest paid employee -and not the newest employee.
Thanks for keeping us all updated. Don't forget if you ever need some R&R, we are just over the mountain pass (Olympia). Mike and I wish you a grand year, a new beginning, and lots of sunshine (even if it just mental).
Yvonne and Michael

-one of the girls to persuade Cheryl to rock climb. -which by the way is another excuse to come visit, so we can do the same with you.
