I have to gripe about good things happening at the wrong times.
After interviewing with six schools, performing three demonstration lessons, and having visitors come to observe me in my own classroom as a finalist candidate for an English position last June, I got nothing.
Zero.
I accepted a leave replacement, which bought me a year. In the same district. With people I already know.
The leave position is for a year, but I still interviewed at another school for a position that begins at the end of this month. I went on the interview mainly to keep my interviewing skills sharp, and apparently they're sharper than I anticipated--I am to go for a second interview this week. This place seems genuinely interested in me.
Problem is, I anticipate serious repercussions if I leave my position now. In the long run, and I really benefiting my family if I burn bridges? If I'm offered a probationary position, I could take it, but the consequences may not be worth it.
I might have to back off. Why couldn't this have happened last June or this coming April?
Yeah, I backed off.
