curious

[cornerofmadness]

Got my resume updated and went to look at the new jobs...and felt a wave of anxiety that was amazingly crippling. The idea of actually really working full time of course is depressing. The money is not. My problem is trying to find the right place. My alma mater is hiring (and I know this job, this was the job of the person who was the head of the department.) My problems a) genetics (okay I did just take conservation genetics but the last time I took general genetics was in 88) b) biochemistry (yeah I've taken it three times and got high marks but I despise it). Not sure if I'll even bother. I doubt they'll hire me because they want one person to teach genetics, cell, micro, biochem and something else (and I'm just not sure I WANT to teach at a religious school. the school wasn't that bad when I was there but now not only is it uber-christian the whole town is. I was highly highly uncomfortable there the last time. Emmanuel Car sales. Blood of Christ (or something similar) Florist. It spooked me. I've never seen anything like it.

Well, at any rate, jumping back in and all, the thing I have to hope for is to get hired NOW for the fall giving me time to actually get classes ready. My nightmare would be to get accepted and have like two weeks to try and prepare for four separate classes.

MUST call my letter of recommendation friends and get an updated letter from all of them and the realization occurs, that because I have ONE phone line, I'll have to be off line all day in order that someone can actually call me. Sigh.

I hope you find something with

a) a living wage
b) good medical benefits
c) a nice envirionment

Is that too much to ask for?

With my luck apparantly so but thanks. I'm going to try. Like I said, I'm just hoping the powers that be let me know let's say by April that I have a job teaching XYZ in AUgust so I have time to work on those lectures or else insanity will ensue

Blood of Christ Florist?

sheesh.

you pagan, you...

It was blood of Christ, lamb of christ (I'm sort of Catholic so I'd obviously confuse those words) It was horrifying.

Yes the school was Christian (Presyb actually), the town was populated by vampires (You NEVER saw people inthe day) and it was the head of the regional KKK but we didn't have rabidly christian places running amok then

Ok, that would be enough to seriously freak me out.

I wish you good luck in job hunting though and hope you get something you like :) *keeps her fingers crossed*
