Oh it feels good to be wanted!

I knew that would get everyones attention!! I have a story to share with you all. I got an email last week from my old superintendent from Burlingame. He said that the librarian had put in her resignation letter that day and that the job would be open for next year and mine if I wanted it. Then over the weekend I got a phone call from one of the board members wanting to know if I had heard the news. She said she was sure the superintendent would do what ever he could to get me back in the district. My it feels good to be wanted. BUT- the very best part of this story is..... the day I got the email about the job- my current principal called me into his office to go over my evaluation. He told me to come into his office and shut the door. I said :hey if this is going to be bad I want to let you know right now that I had a job offer today." His eyes about popped out of his head but he smiled and said "what?" I told him about the email. Then during my evaluation-which was awesome!!! He said so I guess you don't need to worry about that other job right?? Life is good!!!!!!!

No way!! I am staying right where I am at. K-5 instead of K-12 and the pay is much better in Topeka. Besides the fact that in Bgame I would be all by myself- where as in Topeka we have monthly elem librarian meetings and disctirct meetings- nice to have collaboration with others.

Sweet! Had to say that when I first opened the post, thought it would be 'sex' story. Something along with corn. LOL

That's great for you. Funny you said that to your principal as well. I agree, I like not being in K-12 anymore too. More time w/ the little kiddos.
