01 July

 Interviewed at Orangeville yesterday and was offered the job.
Still have some more Q&A for the principal- he is calling on Tuesday, and he'll want a yes or no.

Positives-

1. Spanish only or Spanish/ Art combo.
2. Building program(s) from ground up.
3. Smaller classes- 20 max.
4. Benefits- Blue cross insurance at 90% paid; District pays all TRS
5. Homogenous community.
6. Gung-ho, positive, younger principal.
7. Will not have to deal with Freeport issues.

Negatives-

1. Salary (don't know definite numbers-but lower).
2. Further away/ longer drive than originally expected- about 55 minutes.  Winter concerns.
3. Because program(s) are not established, will be a couple of years of "transition.
4. Homogenous community.
5. Could be gay issue (rural mindset).
6. "Unknowns"

On the home front:
Missed the due date for painting...... still have trim to finish and kitchen (what WILL be done before Dad arrives).  Kid room needs to be done before the 20th, after that I will deal with the master.

We put the dinning room table together- humungous!  Looks nice in the space.  Tackling the living room is next.

This house is way passed due for a good scrub.  I'm thinking three days.

Other than insignificant sprinkles here and there, no real rain.  Ugh!
