It went well. They kept talking like I had the job, but they never came out and said it. The job posting doesn't come down until Thursday, and if a teacher in that school system puts in an application to transfer to that position, they automatically get the job over me. So, they have to wait until the posting comes down, at least, before they tell me anything. |

Playing the waiting game then, huh? I'm not a fan of the waiting game. Hopefully things work out. |

Yeah, I'd rather just know, but I feel good about it. I wasn't ever nervous about it, which is very unusual for me. I'm usually freaking out about stuff like that. I also felt like it would be a good place for a first-year teacher. It's at a really small middle school teaching 7th grade math. There are only about 75 7th graders, so my classes would be relatively small, too. I would prefer high school, but at least for this first year, I can't be too picky. |

I hope resolute/chop will be coming back to the forum at some point. I know there was a period during which I wasn't around much, but I'm back to posting now and it would be nice if I had at least one other person around to interact with. Needless to say, one-man message boards aren't very rewarding. I hope he isn't holding out because of the poor way in which I spoke to him at TT a few weeks ago. I regret blowing up like that, and I certainly didn't set out to directly subject him to my ill mood (which had much more to do with other things and not the idiocy of a certain TT poster). Anyway, I'm feeling much better now. I can't promise that Mr. Hyde won't make another appearance eventually, but he has at least been consigned to the basement for the time being. ![]() As for "where I've been" -- I've been on a vacation of sorts. I needed a break from the general nonsense of the internet and politics in particular, as both were depressing me. |

As for my status at TT, I don't think you'll see me around that much anymore. I might check in from time to time, but my days of spending half my free time there are over. Part of it has to do with the fact that I've been finding the continued under performing of the Braves to be almost entirely uninspiring; one can only speculate on why the team is playing so far below its talent level before burn out sets in. If this makes me a fair weather fan, so be it. Another part of it has to do with the simple fact that I have better things to do with my time. I will, however, be re-opening the off-topic section of this forum in the near future, and I may use that area to talk a little baseball from time to time, when the mood hits me. |

haha Yeah, I'll send him a message on TT to see what's up. I'll try to post on here more, but I haven't had much time to post anything intelligent.
I didn't know anything about that....must've missed something. I'm pretty sure he's not upset with you because he asked me where you'd been the other day at TT.
Yeah, I definitely get that.
Get that, too. The losses are definitely getting old. The board is grating on me, too. I may be around there less and less due to this and the fact that I'm not going to have much time anymore...here I come, real adult life!
Sounds good to me. |

The Braves Show is a pretty good Braves board. If you're tired of TT, I would definitely suggest going there. ~ Joel |

By the way, do you mind if I call you by your first name from now on? I don't know, I just feel kind of queer referring to you as resolute or chop. ~ Joel |

Calling people by first names make me feel more normal in internet land...which is why I always just make my name Allison. ![]() I may break away from TT for the most part, too. You guys and TCB are the only regular ones I really cared to talk to on there most of the time anyway. I think I already have an account on The Braves Show, so I might head over there when I have some time. |

Uh-oh. Not to sound self-important, but it seems like ever since I "left" TT it's been getting less and less busy. And now people are completely jumping ship. I hope I haven't started a trend... ~ Joel |

haha Yeah, that's pretty much how it went. And everyone is tired of ttiger...and apparently kumar threatened to screw up the board, so he was banned. |

This has practically become a one-man message board. At least as far as the political stuff goes (which was the only reason I created the board in the first place -- to discuss politics). I was really hoping things would be busier. At least I know I'll get some back and forth with Allison if I post something related to our failing government education system.

Sorry...I don't feel like I have much to contribute on a lot of the topics without doing further research, which I don't really have much time for right now. (Or anytime soon) Fortunately, (or maybe unfortunately for you) education is something I know about and have some strong opinions on. You know, since it is what I'll be doing for the next 25 years or more...

I read that article you sent me, by the way. I do, however, want to read it a second time before I comment on it too much (it is rather lengthy, after all, and I want to make sure I accurately understand the author's argument). If you want, go ahead start a separate topic on it and we can discuss it there. |

Yeah, it took me awhile to get through it. It's not exactly an easy or fun read, in my opinion. I wish I could find it online. |

Allison just gave me the wake up call. Sorry for missing so much time but I had softball, Judo, Church, and all my other interests going on. Of course my personal Bible study as well. Now my daughter is down so I will be on sparringly for the summer but will be on full force come August. |
