Another interview!

Now I have to do in Broward County what I had already accomplished in Seminole County--that is, get a job! I faxed 25 resumes from last Wednesday to Friday morning. I hand-delivered three. I have about 15 more I will fax on Monday, maybe. Well, one of my faxes has already netted me an interview on Monday morning. So, I will see how that goes, then decide if I need to fax the rest of the resumes. I also got an e-mail from my ex-principal (boo! hoo!) saying that 2 other principals e-mailed her asking about me. If I don't get the job I'm interviewing for on Monday, then, hopefully, there will be some other interviews to go to. Out of the three, I really want the one I already have the interview scheduled. Once again--prayer time!!!

Another phone call!

I got another phone call today for a job interview in Seminole County! It's too bad that I don't want any more phone calls from that county--now I need phone calls from Broward County. Deciding to stay in South Florida has caused a new stress. Where am I going to work? My old school already had someone hired in my vacant position. So now I am pounding the pavement to find another position. I went to the Instructional Staffing today to make sure they realized I needed to be placed. They told me they would place me. I can keep looking on my own--which I hope produces a job. What if I am placed at a school that I really would not like to work at. So, finding a place on my own would be better. Another night of prayer!!!!

A Real Rescue!

A few weeks ago, I wrote about an incident where I thought I was going to rescue a turtle on the side of the road and it ended up being a shoe. Well, today I actually made a rescue. I was driving over to my school, or should I say ex-school, that I wish was still my school. Anyway, I was driving down the street when I saw what I thought was a dead, green parrot on the side of the road. That is not a rare sight since we have parrots all over the place in South Florida and some times they are hit by cars. Well, I kept driving and, once again worry over the hurt animal set in. What if it's not dead? So, I turned around and when I reached it, I found out that it was alive. At first, it seemed really bad off because it was limp and gasping for breath. I picked it up and it wasn't long before it perked up a little and started squawking. Then, I was afraid it was going to bite me, but, thankfully, it didn't. It seemed like it wasn't going to be able to fly because it was still somewhat limp, but I decided to put it on a fence post to see what it would do. I heard other parrots overhead and, then, I was afraid they may think I'm hurting their friend and try to attack me. The parrot was barely able to sit--then, all of a sudden, it seemed like it heard the other parrots, because it perked up the rest of the way and flew off. Yes! A successful rescue!

Another thing to drive you insane!

Subliminal ads a thing of the past? Maybe not. Check out this YouTube video showing a McDonald's one frame ad in the middle of a Iron Chef show. Was it intentional or a mistake? You may have to watch it a few times to actually see the ad. I watched it four times. Two times I saw it and two times I didn't. I hope it was a mistake.

Drive yourself insane!

If you really want to drive yourself insane (of course you do)--go to My Secret Sound and try to figure out the secret sound. I didn't want to tell anyone else about the site so I could win the $2,000 myself--but I have decided it is a lost cause for me. Maybe, if you win it, and you learned about the site from me, you will remember me--if you know what I mean.

It feels good to slow down!

I was overwhelmed with all the things I had to do before moving. Now that I've decided not to move, I am on slow speed--and it feels good. I was getting up each morning and either working on a project to get the house ready to sell, applying for jobs or trying to find a house in Seminole County that would allow 2 dogs and 2 cats. I didn't have much time to enjoy life for the last month. It is such a great feeling to know that I don't have to finish that project right now and I can actually do something that I really enjoy doing. I will continue to work on projects, but just not on hyperspeed!

Coupon Chief is Fantastic!

Wow! I just checked out the coupons available on Coupon Chief. Right now it is offering eleven, yes, eleven coupons for Discount Office Supplies. I wish I had known about Coupon Chief when I had ordered three electric pencil sharpeners from Discount Office Supplies a few months ago. I could have saved some money. Even though Discount Office Supplies has great prices, it's always nice to have a coupon code to make the prices even better. Besides Discount Office Supplies, Coupon Chief has coupon codes for many other companies. It even has some "how-to" videos on its site. Hey, I could stay here talking about Coupon Chief. With school just around the corner, I'm going to stop talking and start shopping--with my friend, the Coupon Chief!
