What's new

The Coffee House

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Jon. Even when you're confident you can find other employment (as I have been when something similar happened to me), it's still much better when you can start looking because you feel like it, not because circumstances are forcing you to. Good luck! Hopefully you'll end up with something you actually like better, including the paycheck!
 
Well...I'm officially looking for a new job. The board of ed will be non-renewing my contract (along with 4 of my fellow teachers) at tomorrow night's board meeting. Sigh.

Upward and onward. I'll be applying for other teaching jobs, but it might be time to leave the profession. I have a feeling I can probably make more money doing other things, even with my oddly specific specialization.
Sorry to hear this but I can see you are destined for something better.

@Gary A. - heading to SoCal tomorrow. Looks like we're bringing the heat for the weekend! The weather report from Tuesday to Sunday calls for everything from 50's to 90's!

Damn, that sucks, I'm sorry :(

Yesterday it was in the 80's and for me, it felt perfect. 80's in the early afternoon and 50's at night. Layer up.

Bon Voyage.

Oh man ... that sucks. I'm wishing you well in your employment quest.
 
No work on the new pump yesterday. Today, Gary finally got the system working without any drips. He needs to change out some white piping for black piping and toss in a swing check valve ... then fini.
 
Mary Lou and Gary just finished watch a Dutch Western on NetFlix. It was titled 'The Salvation" and it was really good. A lot of attention to detail in the costumes, most of the actors were white and blond (lol), good plot with an odd reference to "The Dutch Defeat". Gary had to Google that and discovered that as best he can determine, it was the defeat of the Dutch by the Balinese in the East Indies. Somehow, the Dutch soldiers ended up in the American West and became the protagonists in a Clint Eastwood type western. Gary rarely watches westerns, but when he does, he is not disappointed.

The oddest thing, besides all the Dutch actors, was the title idenfying the movie's location as "America". A Hollywood movie would have said, Utah, or the Arizona Territories, et al. Gary thinks that to the Dutch, all America is like the Wild West, dry, rocky with plateaus, table mesas and cowboys.

My wife likes it when I wear chaps with no pants. She likes to ride a cowboy now and then.
 
Off to Florida!
