I thought I may have been on a roll...apparently not. After securing a great temporary teaching gig for next year at a great school, I got a call for a permanent teaching gig at another school...used my connections to up my chances...however, didn't get it. When 500+ apply for a job...it's like walking a tightrope with bomb on your back trying to be the person who gets it. Sad state of affairs, but true.
So, I just found out I didn't get it. Too bad. There is a bit of a dichotomy here...whereby you need experience to get the jobs, but you can't get consistent experience until somebody gives you a job...in the interim you are falling into financial ruin.
OH..and it's 7pm and I still can't pick up my kid from her daycare because someone on the street has barricaded himself inside while about a kazillion police officers and tactical officers surround the area. Good times. She doesn't mind though. Her words, "I'm watching MADAGASCAR!".

Never leave your audience hanging - the rest of the story is here, courtesy of that upstanding newspaper "the Ottawa Sun"
"Police Tactical and Firearms Task Force officers surrounded an east end townhome for several hours this afternoon after a man barricaded himself inside.
Police were executing a search warrant at the Bethany Lane residence shortly after 3 p.m. when the man refused to come out. Police said he was carrying something, but they couldn't see what it was.
Police broke down the front door and threw smoke canisters containing an eye irritant into the house.
During the standoff, another man who was inside the house was arrested and taken into custody.
Tactical officers spent just under four hours trying to talk the man out of the house, while a crowd of nearby residents gathered to watch the spectacle unfold.
The crowd cheered when the man was led out of the house in handcuffs at 6:45 p.m. and taken to a waiting ambulance. "
Oh and the Monday sunshine girl has some serious cannons. Too bad she's got that damned shirt covering them up
