Hope you could sleep last night. Happy to see new faces and to see that everybody seems to be doing so well.
Hi Wilde,
Thank you for the message.

I had applied the day before after I saw an ad for summer school teachers "needed immediately." I went in, filled out an application, and whoooosh down the stairs came a very aggressive man asking if I could come in the next morning for orientation. He photocopied my drivers license, background check, and said "see you tomorrow!" I guess I was hired on the spot?

I guess it was a bit of an induction. As I sat there I looked around the room at the other three people's faces, for some hint that the others were thinking what I was thinking. They all had robot smiles and seemed really into it.

I was so turned off and intimidated by this principal that I even agreed to show up the next morning at 7:30 am!

I thought about it the whole drive home and was sure I never wanted to see/speak/or hear from this man again I called and quickly told the secretary my name and that I was not accepting the position. Click

Thank you for asking about the sleep. When I arrived home I was able to take a wonderful two hour nap. It felt great. I also slept very well last night from 2 am until 2 pm! I've always been someone that can sleep abnormally long.

Thank you for thinking of me. Talk to you soon!
