We just keep on pushing.
Hang in there, Arch. Something will happen for you. May God go with you as you wait on Him.

As mentioned elsewhere, it's not under the greatest terms. It's 47% less than the average recommended for a person of my experience, 25% less than I was making before, and lower than the lowest 10% salary for even entry level people in this region.
Under other circumstances, I'd be in a position to tell him to go fly a rock. I am not in those circumstances.
I don't know if we're going to survive with this salary. It means cutting out everything, and my son is the only one who's going to have Christmas presents ( pretty much thanks to my parents ). The rest of the offer is fairly competitive, but God only knows how ( or even if ) we're going to survive the diminished pay.
This is the worst part of suffering through the ravages of Glory Theology. I still don't know if God's Glory has it in for me or not, and may never be sure.

Reps: 244,222,268 (power: 244,239) | | | I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Mine was. I even did a little shopping on Friday.
I don't know if I'll have a job this summer- 10% budget cuts in education.$1,000,000 for our district. We have a new superintendant. She seems to be a cold fish. She seems to be playing the administrators/departments against each other like it's a game of "Survivor."
I took a service learning class through the AEA. I passed- 150 of 150 possible points.
Time to go- I'm still trying to recover from getting up at 3 a.m. on Friday.

I got up early too, on friday. 4am! I'm really paying for my shopping trip in a painful fibro flare. It was worth it to be with my daughter and daughter in law for a fun time.

I'll say some prayers. I hope your job doesn't get cut. What you do is the only homework help many of those kids have.
