The following is from an e-mail I just sent to a few of the girls here on TW:
Well, girls, the worst has happened.
The school pulled the spot. As I mentioned before, getting the job was dependent upon the arrival of my official transcripts. Mind you, when I was first hired by them back in the winter to teach part-time I filled out the forms to have those sent, and they never processed them. Now, since they didn't have my stuff by last Thursday, they had to declare the position vacant until the winter. They said they still need my last set from my B.A. school in order for me to teach part-time again in the fall.
Wait for it, people. I ain't going back. This was YOUR error, not mine.
A local college is offering me three classes, and were willing to wait until I knew about the full-time spot before giving them away to someone else. As soon as I knew I called them and accepted the three courses. This school is maybe 2 miles away, so while I still have to find a way to get there, it won't be the horrendously long ride I used to take to get to Olive-Harvey way there on the city's south side.
This is the second time this school has done something like this to me. Now I'm right back to where I started. At least I will have these other courses, and I still have the boats, so I will survive.
I'm sure this will hit me later. For now I guess I'm not too terribly surprised. I probably won't cry until I get home tonight. I have a little wine in the house, so maybe I'll just cry into a wine glass.

Now, the other stuff:
The thing is, with the job being reposted for the winter, I have to reapply. That means interviewing with these goofballs AGAIN. My ex brought up a good point - why didn't they just hire the next person in line, whose transcripts they already have? It could be because they want me in that spot sooner or later, but they could have done something if they wanted to. They did have copies of my transcripts, after all. While I understand official sets are necessary for hiring, I have proven that I do indeed possess those degrees. My therapist suggested making a slew of calls to the school to see what should be done about this.
As for starting hormones, I saw the endo for the first time yesterday. I already wrote about it in the Forums, so I won't really recount it now. He is going to run some blood tests on me to see my "numbers," and then determine from there what to prescribe for me. So hopefully that will move along much more smoothly.
