Phew! After taking a written exam, a typing test, a drug test, being fingerprinted, filling out a 10 page application, attending an informational meeting to turn in the application, showing up for a 5 minute interview and being cleared for a medical assessment I have finally been offered a job with the United States Postal Service! Boy - working for the government takes a LOT of paper, a lot of time and you better have your t's crossed and dot your i's, because if you get them backward you'll be fined and possibly tossed in jail.
I will be working at the SLC Remote Encoding Center. When mail addresses cannot be read by the scanners, pictures are sent electronically to the REC where I will decipher them and send the correct label back to the PO electronically. The SLC REC is one of 5 in the nation. It is apparently very competitive. They process about 27 million pieces of mail every month. They are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! I did get to choose my shift - Tues. through Sat. 9:30am to 2:30 pm and it pays $13.00 an hour. It's not radiology - and my children are wondering why I am working for the Post Office when I have a degree in Political Science - but it does fit my current needs. Except for working Saturdays. That stinks...(I actually thought about using the other s word - but I refrained.)

What about your teaching job??
It sounds exciting, sort of.
There are 800 substitutes registered this year in Jordan school district. They need about 200-300 every day. I just haven't got the calls. I don't sub at Daniel's school anymore because I made a student cry.
How did you make a student cry?
Don't worry, I make lots of students cry!
I am so happy for you Tatia, a little envious too. I have been looking for a REAL job since May as you may already know. Yeah for Tatia!
I have to admit.... I didn't think you could get this job... even though you always expressed total confidence.
I am really proud of you.
Love ya
