I’m doing OK. It looks like it might rain again today.

Nothing much going on. H had a job interview yesterday, but he was told the position type does not often open up (a full instead of adjunct professor at at 2 year community college), and there are already a lot of applicants, including internal applicants. The position opened Oct. 1 and will close for applicants Oct. 31. H did say the interview did seem to go well. The science content specialist in H’s school district knows the interviewer, though the hiring is a departmental thing thing decided by more than 1 person. The content specialist talked H up to the interviewer quite a bit, and H felt she had a lot of sway with this guy. H was told they do not already have a person in mind to hire (such as an internal candidate), they want someone they feel will be a good fit. H teaches kids in a feeder school to that college, which is a point in his favor. He has come to like teaching and feels he is a good teacher. He has had students consistently telling him his physics class was their favorite science class in high school for a couple of years now, and I don’t think students usually associate physics as a favorite high school science requirement. But H hates the admin stuff, and the health insurance sucks. We don’t even see one third of H’s salary into our bank account because of taxes, retirement, but mainly because of health insurance. We pay so much for sucky insurance, H is going to look around for the open enrollment period.
