Today I met with the head of the upper school where I've been subbing and tutoring. Apparently, he's been getting a lot of comments about me. I'm fairly used to this, but in this case he says the comments are brilliant. This part is new.
He says they really want to keep me on for next year.
He says they don't know if they'll have a position for me.
He says he'll try to work something out.
This is flattering, since I do like this school. The faculty is really enthusiastic and has a DIY approach to building the curriculum Right(tm) that I find attractive. However, as flattering as it is, I have the feeling that it's not going to convert itself into a job offer in time. Or worse, that it might turn into an offer after we've committed to moving back to CA. That would be amazingly frustrating.
However, for today I'm treating it as a vote of confidence. Secondary school teaching is not what my R1 research school trained me for, but apparently I'm good at it.
And that's just nice.

Awesome news. I hope it works out, but either way, it's nice to get a little positive feedback. I'll be thinking of you.
