The bad news is that my job at Skyview has been reduced to a half time position (which also means no benefits). The good news is that a couple of positions have opened up at nearby high schools. I put in my applications for them as soon as I saw them available.
Unfortunately, my enthusiasm also led to a moment of stupidity on my part (it's not like it's the first time). I received a call asking if I wanted to interview for one of the jobs I applied for just a few hours after I sent in the application. I was eating lunch at the time, I was expecting a phone call from the car mechanic, and the phone connection was not the best. Thus, although I was confused when only one position was mentioned and that I was offered a phone interview, I set up a 9 AM interview for tomorrow.
It was only when texting my wife about it that I realized that the job in question is in Homer. Somehow, I had applied for a Homer job even though it is about an hour and forty minutes away. It is listed immediately above a job from Kenai and sounds like one that I was told to watch for.
Well, that was an embarrassing phone call that I had to make. He sounded understanding, but I'm fairly certain that I did not leave a good impression. It probably didn't help that my call to cancel the interview started with me saying I was a world class idiot.
Anyway, here's hoping that I still get called in to interview for the jobs that are within a reasonable commuting distance. At least there has been some movement, even if it does not look like I will be back at Skyview.
