Everyday Teaching (
RSS)
I found out yesterday that I'm officially moving on to a middle school in my area. I am unbelieveably excited about that! You know, I've learned something in my short years of holding jobs and/or job hunting. You can send out a million resumes, really...
Yesterday was my last day teaching at my high school. For the year, and for now. I think I mentioned a little earlier that my employment contract was 1 year only, because of the teacher that was on a sabbatical leave. She is coming back, and I'm moving...
A couple of days ago, I finally signed up on the MSN Direct site to get the new content to my watch. I chose to receive my horoscope and Peter's (heehee, so I'll be able to read his moods, just kidding), as well as the Daily Diversions. The horoscope...

Peter pointed me in the direction of a new blog today, called Technical Careers @ Microsoft , written by two Microsoft recruiters, Zoe and Gretchen. First glance shows that they have lots of great advice from how to handle a phone interview with a human...
I am so tired. Make that, put my feet up, watch my replayed soap when I get home tired. Today has been a long day, and I still have 40 minutes to go. This morning, I reported to the training center as usual for Day 6 of new teacher training. However,...
So a lot of today's new teacher (now that's new to the district, mind you, not new in general; something that has been beat into our heads over and over and over again) training seemed like a huge waste of time to me. The morning was spent at the training...
