Positive Outlook on the Horizon

Well I’ve finally got a couple positives going for me. Last week I contacted a former employer and was told that I would get a call in the next 2 weeks to come in and get things started so I could come back to work for them. After hearing that I let out a sigh of relief because my bank account is really starting to feel the crunch of not having a job. Today everything just got a little brighter. Over the last few months I’ve picked up 3 different local newspapers everyday, looking through the job ads, hoping to get a break. I think I finally got one.
The last 3 weeks there have been notices for the need for substitute teachers. Now, since I’ve graduted I’ve continued to look for any kind of substitute teaching jobs, but many of the school systems around here require even their substitutes to possess a teaching certificate. Today, I got a response to one of my applications to substitute. I’ve been invited for a tour of the school, to finalize my application, and hopefully I will be on the school’s list of regular substitute teachers.
True enough that substitute teaching isn’t a full-time job, and not steady work. But it’s something, and right now something is so much better than nothing.
