Quick, small and relatively unimportant point...

I have never been as up-and-down, in-and-out of depression as I am in this job search. A good interview makes me feel good, not getting called back sends me crashing.

And then, of course, when I'm depressed, I start questioning my ability.

Good news/bad news

I've gotten two calls from school districts wanting to interview me. That's the good news.

The bad news: Both are too far away for me to even consider, requiring a daily commute of 3 to five hours, plus the gas expense. Um, no.

I hate being picky, but that wouldn't be worth it. Now, if Elli and I were in a position to relocate, maybe--but we're not, and we don't wish to at this time.
