Contrary, I’d recommend your finding a more comfortable position – I am so NOT holding my breath about this job – as a matter of fact, I’d be shocked and amazed if I were offered it.
Of course, I’ll let you know what happens!

Everyone but Bowyer and Kizz has told me to call. I’m not sure that it matters one way or the other – I called yesterday and left a message, then I called today and left a message – this time on the principal’s voice mail – and haven’t heard a thing back yet.
Just as a footnote, though? When I called this afternoon, I spoke to the receptionist. “Hello,” I said, “I’m Mrs. Chili and I am a candidate for the English teacher position. I’m calling because I haven’t heard anything about the job yet.”
“Oh,” she said, “I haven’t heard anything about that, either!”
So, maybe it’s not that they’re practicing avoidance – maybe they really haven’t made a decision…
As always, I’ll keep y’all posted.

I got this email from CT this morning and thought it’d be a good addition to my thinking about all this:

Hi Chili,
I’m sitting in the AP class and they are taking their final–2 essays directly from the AP exam. It’s tough.
I just wanted to say that after talking with the principal, I realize that their real choice is you, but the decision is difficult because of the political amenities. So remember that. Whatever the decision, you were their final choice.

She also pointed out yesterday that if she hadn’t called and spoken to the principal, I wouldn’t have known that my competition was someone “on the inside.” I would likely be going along thinking that I was in a simple contest for a job and that we both had equal right to it. I’m trying to remember that.
All in all, I’m doing my best to hand it all to the Universe and believe that, in the end, I’ll wind up precisely where I need to be.
