Back on the Market

It's been about two months since I quit my job with NOVA and I've certainly been happy living the jobless life. Unfortunately, the current trickle of income is not enough to quench my monetary thirst and I'm burning through my savings. So, I have begrudgingly dug the suit out of the closet and begun sending out resumes.

I've had a few responses and even an interview already, but nothing too promising. The job I interviewed for was offering about $20/hr at most, but more likely to be $15/hr. The commute is kinda far and they didn't say if travel expenses are covered either. I'm thinking I'll hold out for something better, as a teacher with my experience and willingness to teach kids usually makes about $25-$30/hr plus travel.

Wearing a suit again sure does suck. Thank god the jobs I'm applying for don't require it. Since I'll probably be at small private schools, working with kids most of the time, I won't have to wear a suit or even a shirt and tie. One of my biggest complaints about NOVA was the dress code: slacks, buttoned shirt, tie, dress shoes. Getting dressed in the morning took forever and playing with kids in those clothes was brutal. Give me a T-shirt and jeans or give me death!
