Getting nervous...
Bad news:
Four to Five (depending on district) weeks until school starts. I still don't have a contract. I am, therefore, getting very nervous.
Good news: I might have a shot at a job in the Davis school district. That'd be great; it's a hard district to crack. Downside is it's an oddly-run school on a non-traditional model I'm not entirely comfortable with, but I'd be willing to give it a shot. I could always work out my contract and then transfer to another school if it's not a good fit.

On the other hand ...
I just scored an interview with my top-choice school (no, not McClatchey*) on Thursday. You know my mantra now, don't you?
Yep. That's right: (Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up.)
And no, I'm not going to say which school it is. I'll tell you afterward.
* McClatchey was originally my top choice of schools, but then reality set in and I realized that wasn't likely to happen. It's a top-choice school, and many people with a lot more experience than I have apply there every year. So I set my sights on a good school that has more possibilities. Not to say I wouldn't gladly and eagerly take a job at CKM, but it's very unlikely.

On "Childfree" and so forth...
Ok, I get some people don't want kids, and I've got no problem with that. But for you "hardcore" nimrods:
1. I think "childfree" is a very silly thing to ID yourself as. So you don't want kids. Big fucking deal. Move on, please. Do you really need a label?
2. Do you really think it's cute to refer to kids as an "it"? I mean, hello--you were a child once, too. And, apparently, you still are.
3. Just ... shut up. I promise I won't gush about my kids to ANYONE who doesn't ask about them, CF or not. And I can assure you I won't let them ruin your home/store/whatever. So will you please do me the same courtesy and shut the fuck up?
