This morning I was ahead of schedule to get to my guest teaching math job at a local high school. I checked with the high school's front office to see if they'd scheduled the interviews for the open position. They had. Though I've substituted for most of their teachers, I didn't rate an interview. I was devastated, but still standing and smiling on the outside.
After managing my way through the day at this high school which didn't consider me worthy of even an interview, I headed home thinking, "At least the kids and teachers are nice." My preliminary CA math/physics credential is in dire need of clearing, but it's been 5 years without a contracted job offer which is the first step to do the clearing. Thoughts of sending our governor, Jerry Brown, a letter asking him to clear my credential came to mind.
Once I arrived home my estate planner visited me. She'd read my book, "The Romance of Kilimanjaro" and had all sorts of observations and questions. I realized how important it is for me to write my second book and explain some more background knowledge.
So I started the day with my teaching career slipping into oblivion and ended the day with God giving me clear direction toward the door that is open for me---writing.
