So I get a call from an unknown number in the area code of the school I applied for. I froze.
The voice on the other line, after confirming he had me (it was hard, my throat was so dry) And he asks me about my plans for the fall and wonders if I have anything going on.
My extreme pessimism assured me he was going to "let me down easy" by hoping I had backups or something. I just prepped myself for worst-case-scenario since I knew I had to be prepared for bad news. I tell him I do not have anything planned out for the fall. He says "Would you like to have something going on in the fall?"
I start to get a little excited....
'
But I also try to keep my cool in case he's saying I wasn't selected for the job but they have some kind of instructional assistant or temp job for me if I wanted it. Plus I don't want to assume and look like an ass.
"What specifically did you have in mind?" I ask, though I am clearly grinning like an idiot.
He laughs, then says "Well I would dearly hope you'd like to come teach 5th grade at our school starting next year."
I have no words right now....just gifs.
I can't even begin to say how big of a deal this is. I just landed my DREAM JOB. I am teaching 5th grade at a private school I really, REALLY love. Not to mention that now I get better health benefits, we are going to almost double our monthly pay and we just passed the point where we weren't sure we were going to be able to KEEP OUR HOUSE for much longer let alone fertility treatment someday......I just so can't even right now. This is the turning point in my life I've been waiting for for more than 10 years.
