      Thanks Dennis. I felt like I was breaking up with a girlfriend when I returned that phone call to the Assistant Principal.
      She was super enthusiastic: “Hey!! So, we’d love you to the join the team!!”
      Me, feigned enthusiasm: “Oh wow! That’s…insane! Haha. Um, I just don’t think this is going to work out.”
      Dead air…..

        Well, the head of the school just reached out to me about 20 minutes ago…can’t help but feeling incredibly humbled…IMG_7067.jpeg

          @Mizmazzle isn’t that great. A classy message from the guy, and you clearly made a brilliant impression on the school. You never know what life holds, and it maybe that sometime in the future there is an opportunity to work there which will be of more interest to you.
          In the meantime, that affirmation should give you lots of confidence for any other positions you put yourself forward for.

            @IrishHeart Talk about making a guy feel valued!! I'm going to take the time to talk to him. I feel like I can be direct and 100% open now. During the interview you have to project an all "On Board" persona, even if you are having some doubts, otherwise the offer may not come.
            I feel really good about being able to talk to the guy on clear and straightforward terms now. Who knows, he may have some valid information that helps me to move forward.
            Besides, he's a fellow fly fisherman...that says a lot in my book.

              Congrats on the offer! It feels great to be wanted and even if this isn't the right role you at least have gained a little more interviewing experience and the insight into what you're looking for to help you find the right fit for everyone.

              The only thing I might have done differently is to have asked for the weekend to think over your decision rather than immediately turning it down even if you know it's not the right fit.

                @pechelman Yeah...I def thought about asking that. I guess I ended up not doing so because it was causing me so much strife, I didn't want to prolong what I knew was the inevitable. His reaching out to me to give me that option anyway really has been nice. Going to take a hike tomorrow and get my thoughts in order and come with a focused list of concerns I have and see what he says...

                Could be a good time to push for a two day work week, full pay!!

                  A week ago today, I had a total (Japanese Ceramic apparently) replacement of my lefty (sic) hip.

                  Well, a week down the road and, I am already significantly better than I was before the op. I am not in any pain (I forgot to take the drugs yesterday, and I was fine.

                  My range of movement is better than prior to the op, and I can positively jog up and downstairs.

                  Frankly, it is amazing and I am in awe of the medical team who fixed me.

                  I'm at the heaviest I have ever been (about 12lb above where I feel good about myself), probably because I could not do much before the op, and Paula has been rewarding me with loads of chocolate biscuits since

                  Physio starts in a week, so I am keen to get 100% fit again and lose those excess pounds.

                    Wonderful news, Giles!! I’m so glad you’re feeling more like your old self. You’ll be back in shape in no time, I’m sure.

                        I wish you a speedy recovery @Giles! One of my aunties is the bionic woman at this point - she has an arthritic condition - and has had both hips and knees done. She'd recommend that you do everything the physio suggests; like you say, having the op done gave her a new lease on life too and makes that so much easier!

                                    Bonito's? Bonito's are bait 🙂

                                    The biggest insult when you are playing a BFT is to be asked if it is a decent Bonito 🙂

                                        Bonitos are great fun if you are using the right tackle. But when you hook one on tackle designed for 60kg GT's or 100kg Tuna, they waste your time.....
