Say What???

Why don't I ever listen...to myself? Just today I attended a mandatory sub meeting for Rockwall ISD. No meeting...no subbing this year. I met with old friends and reminisced about things and people of the past. Someone asked how much I subbed last year and I told them 140 out of 180 days and it would have been more except...well, the coyote encounter. I then boldly proclaimed, "But I'm not doing that this year. I'm not going to sub more than 3 days a week." Famous last words. I came home, piddled, napped, went on the Aesop sub page not expecting to see anything and promptly accepted a job at an elementary school for the next 9 days! What the heck???? Well, at least I can keep cool on their dime...and earn a few dimes in the process (can you say, "Casino?").

On a more positive and exciting note, I spoke with Heather at TTB today. That's the Tobacco and Trade Bureau (formerly ATF). This was my phone interview to verify my license application information for the winery. All I have to do is send her an email with certain documentation and put a lock on the door between the kitchen and the wine room. She is sending my application over for approval!!! Soooo much closer to having a legitimate winery!!! Now, to work on corrections to the state application!

Shortly after posting this blog the automated sub system notified me that the job had been canceled. I'm thinking it was an overflow classroom and they hired a teacher at the last minute. Either way...thank goodness. Don't know what I was thinking. I'm not sure my foot will hold up to 9 straight days so I certainly don't need to start out that way!
