A guy I used to work with is now the director of continuing education at the University of Toronto. They have a partnership with one of the major law firms to put on an 18 hour course, Fundamentals of Business for Lawyers. The guy who has been teaching it, has retired and he thought of me and e-mailed me to find out if I'd be interested in maybe teaching it. Obviously I'm interested as it would supplement my EI, so I e-mailed back that I am. Obviously I'll still have to go through an interview process and application, but it would be kind of cool to do. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So I had the job interview today which was wierd. The guy knows my entire alcohol and depression history, which was both awkward and good - he's still willing to consider hiring me. He did flat out say that he was leaning towards someone else, more senior than me, to teach the lawyer's course but he was afraid that person might be too busy. It wouldn't be until the fall anyway. But he did say that he thought I might be suitable to teach some of the intro finance or accounting courses, either in person or on-line. He actually really likes me for the on-line courses due to my experience in moderating web sites, which is kind of cool. I'm supposed to go through their catalogue and identify which courses I'd be interested in teaching and let him know within a week. I think that this could be a rather neat way to both challenge myself, and pick up some extra cash.
