To Tell The Truth...

I've been working really hard the last 2 weeks on writing the district curriculum for the French Program. We are just about finished with French I-III. After that, we're left with IV and V. Doing this is probably the best decision I've made in a long time, since in the fall I would have to be coming up with assignments anyway (at least now I'm paid for it!). The closing of curriculum writing has brought another problem: summer employment. I know I've talked before about looking for work, and my interview at UPS. I'm such an idiot! My interview was at 11:45pm, and I drove the 20 or so minutes to get to the UPS site. I get there, and there was a nice little lady at the desk. I tell her my name, and she asks if I am legally allowed to work in the US, and I of course reply, "yes". Keep in mind that all of this is preliminary, and the videos/facility tour is to come. I answer the rest of the questions she has, and finally, she asks about my start availability. I've had this problem before...I am a little too honest when I should just keep my mouth shut. I tell her that I am working some freelance right now, but will be available after the 23rd. I continue on whatever truth serum I took that day, and let her know that I am a teacher. She looks at me with this blank stare and tells me that she's sorry, but UPS does not hire temporary workers, only permanent part-time workers. I stand there dumbfounded, with my mouth open a little too long, and she sweetly says, "Thank you". I pick up my keys and am escorted to the door... I'm still waiting for Banana Republic to call me back. I'm a good worker, I promise! My birthday is Sunday, which is also Father's Day. I think that I forgot to plan something, because as of now, I don't really have any plans. I would really rather not make a big deal of it, and have to worry about inviting people, making sure everyone gets whereever, etc. I wouldn't care if someone else planned it, but since I have to think about it, I really can't be bothered! (thanks, croquette for the advice!)
