Another job done

[caz963]

I've spent hours today writing two letters - my resignation from job A, and an application for job B. The resignation could just have been a simple two line thing, but that never feels right to me. And as for the application, well... it's bad enough writing them at the best of times, but applying for the job you're already doing? Not easy. It was a case of - "how far do I state the bleedin' obvious?" And it's all the more difficult because I'm not writing to a spec - this is a new position that the school has basically created because they want to keep me on, and because of the situation re. the other teacher and her uncertain state of health, I doubt they've actually been able to write a proper job description yet!

Still, I do at least have something on paper which I can adapt if need be - although to be honest, I think that as long as I've written something expressing my interest in the job, the school will be happy. I think they just want to get on with it.

So next week is the week I start it all moving. The deadline for resignations (to leave at the end of this term) is Friday anyway, so the plan is that I'll get into school B on Tuesday, get the official offer of the temporary contract for next term, give them my application, and then hand in my resignation at school A on Wednesday.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Could I ask a big favor?

You posted a link to a fic once long ago where Josh was feeling vampire-ish and wanted to bite Donna. Do you remember where that was?

Sure - it sounds like Love and a Pesky Curse (http://www.bexatious.com/westwing/fics/laapc.htm) by Bex.

This is true, caz, but... to that fic?

In any case, I just wanted to say Hang in there, Good luck and I'm sending you *vibes* for your wishes to come true.

Thanks. It's going okay so far; I had the "interview" last Thursday and basically, it's my job, it's just that the school has to follow the correct procedure. But I should have a contract sometime next week,
