The Wisdom Of The Universe

Well people, I got the call. Looks like I won't be at a new job this coming school year, but while I'm disappointed, I was heartened by what they told me. Evidently, I made the top 2, but they felt the other candidate was a better "fit" for this particular position. It's a new school that they are opening, so I'm thinking that I lost out to a more experienced candidate and a better personality fit with the principal. Both important in the job game. They were "impressed" with my ideas and enthusiasm, and they "strongly" encouraged me to apply next year as they anticipate more openings. So, I must bow to the wisdom of the universe that says I am meant to stay in my current position, long commute and all, for another year. Luckily, I am happy with the actual job, so I am no worse for the wear.

Thank you all for your well wishes. It's back to Mayberry in a few weeks. I'll keep my application with them updated and reapply next year to the "golden district". I'm confident that I will get there sometime in the near future.
