Lee / Waltrip

I called Lee back once, I need to again. Talked to the secretary last time. She mentioned the math teacher out with a long illness was getting well faster than expected.

Waltrip (34th & Ella) has an opening listed. I faxed my resumé over. If there like Lee it’ll take them a while to get things rolling.

Several People have asked me about the LSR‘s route. It was two days, Fort Worth->Lake Ray Roberts->Dallas. So, here’s the route, roughly, listing the pit stop locations.

Day 1: 92 miles. Tarrant County College – NW Campus (on the loop in Fort Worth); Azle (Ashe Creek Park); Springtown (Optimist Park); Wise County (a Baird distribution warehouse on FM 51); Decatur (county courthouse/town square); Slidell (the high school); Sanger (town square); Lake Ray Roberts (Isle du Bois State Park/Deer Ridge Campground).

Day 2: 79 miles. Campground; Tioga (Renfro Realty’s property); Gunter (Morgan Center); Celina (park across from “the Anvil”); Frisco (Collin County Community College/Preson Ridge); North Dallas (Fretz Park); Oak Lawn (Oak Lawn United Methodist); Revershon Park.

So, that’s the route up into N Texas.

teaching job update

last week, monday, i was planning on calling a bunch of schools, but first i checked the web site, and Lee HS was listed.  i called them, the answerer asked around, yes, there’s a math job open, fax your resumé over, i did.  i also applied online.

i called friend Jonas, who knows said principal of said school, he called, got the machine, left a message.

the next day the listing went off the “open” status, sure sign they already had an applicant and were just posting it for requirement reasons.

i didn’t hear anything; Jonas didn’t hear anything, the week passed,

this monday i got home from slaving at the CC (which i enjoy), and there was a message from Lee, call us, set up a time to inteview, tuesday i did, for wednesday, went today,

went well, i think, i like them, i think they like me, they invited me to call and sit in on the class (replacing a very ill teacher), i like the school, after i get back from long weekend of work i’ll call them and ask to sit in.

apparently there’s a hiring freeze causing them problems,

think good thoughts,

Lee HS?

I was gonna spend monday calling and/or faxing schools about math jobs.  I started off the day checking the web site and there was a new listing for Lee HS.  I called them, the secretary asked around, they said they had an opening, to fax my resumé.  So, I got to a fax machine and sent it.

Saw Jonas monday night.  He knows the principal.  Called to remind him tuesday morning.  He called the principal, left a message.  I noticed the listing was no longer listed.  I suspect they had someone they wanted to hire, so they put it up on the listing (mandatory) before the hire.  Neither I nor Jonas have heard anything about it.

Curses, foiled again.
