New shiny dream

[averygoodun42]

So... I think I've mentioned how Geoff has about a gazillion hours of comp time accrued, right? Like four months' worth? (Comp. time is like paid vacation time without any residual value, btw. It's how we can take extravagantly long vacations now and again.)

Well, anyway, tonight I was pottering around the Kahn Academy site, looking at what I'll have to learn to CLEP out of a couple of my required courses, when I scrolled down a bit further than I had ever scrolled before and saw the job listings.

Curious about what positions might be open, I clicked. And, OMG, ya'll, there's a six-week summer teaching job that is so incredibly up Geoff's alley (I pointed it out to him, and he grinned and said, "Yeah, that would be fun.").

Obviously, it's not going to happen for this summer, but I bet the job posting will be there every summer... and...

It's such a perfect opportunity!

- It's in the SF Bay area. Quite close to where my brother lives.
- It would make a CA coastline drive (a bucket list item of mine) feasible.
- It would basically be a free (or inexpensive) vacation for me and Page, and fun work for Geoff.
- It would put a little recent teaching cred onto Geoff's resume!

All I have to do is remember to look at the site spring after next (next year is conference year. Bleh). Somehow. *chews lip*

Yes, I know I'm counting my chickens before they've hatched on many, many fronts, but, well, that's why I'm calling it a dream rather than a goal. But sometimes dreams do come true...

Why don't you apply for it for this summer? All they can say is no. You can use this inquiry to ask about details such as housing.

Plans have already been made for this summer. Plans that have been put off for a couple of years already. So, no.

and we need dreams to go ahead in life. *crosses fingers for the job*

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Yes, we do. However, it's a bit early to cross any fingers. ;-)

Dreams are good. And without making plans how to achieve them they will always remain just dreams.

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Yes, on both fronts. But at this time, I think it's the dream that's necessary, not the goal.
