When was the last time you think you were lied to?
Yesterday. A 9 year-old told me her dad had lots of money, a limo and 10 wives. I’m pretty sure that’s not true.

Share some lyrics from one of your favorite songs.
“Sometimes I feel like Im falling…fall back again, fall back again.
Oh, life it seems a struggle between what we see and what we do.
I’m not going to change my ways just to please you or appease you.
Inside a crowd, five billion proud, willing to punch it out.
Right, wrong, weak, strong; ashes to ashes all fall down.
Look around about this round-about this merry-go-round around
If at all god’s gaze upon us falls, His mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emtions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away”
– from Seek Up by The Dave Matthews Band

I just had my interview for the position I told you about last week. I think the interview went well. I was nervous but I handled myself well. There was a committee of four people who interviewed me: my boss, another teacher at our center, a teacher from a nearby center and the ECE coordinator of the college. Without boring you with the details, I think I stand a 50% chance of getting the position. Fortunately, I’m friends with someone on the committee so she might message me when they’ve made their decision so I don’t have to spend the weekend worrying.
The thing is, though, that I don’t really care if I don’t get the position. I mean, it’s not like I’ll lose my job or anything. My current position is still in tact, regardless. The only difference is I’d get benefits. And, to be perfectly honest, I don’t need the benefits right now! I’m covered under Honey’s insurance and we already have retirement plans and such. This job would just give me a shiny new and impressive title (Early Childhood Educator I) and the benes would just be perks. In all honesty, I don’t deserve it as much as my “competitor.” She has more experience and she needs the benes more than I do. So, I hope she gets it. The experience was good for me and it means the next time a position like this opens up, I’ll be the first person they call on to fill it! So it’s all good.
Anyway, I think I’ll clean the house while I wait for a call. I’ll let you know…!
