Fun in Paris

After my depressing post regarding the job search, I thought I'd share will you some photos of the photos I've posted up on Facebook for those of you who don't use Facebook. Last Sunday, I invited several friends from work and my friend Katherine from FSU to a picnic at the Buttes Chaumont Park, then to a little concert near the Canal St. Martin.

Here is the mascot of the party - the lovable, the adorable Mr. Big!

All the bitches love him. ;) :D Here he is with Melanie.

Just a fun picture of us in the cafe.

The Search

Well, since last fall, I've been searching for various teaching jobs across the United States and Europe. Going into the search, I knew the odds were not in my favor. However, it is still depressing to get the rejection letter in the mail. Even worse are those that you never hear from, which leave you with a lingering bit of hope of some surprise call. As the months drag on, however, without any word, this lingering hope slowly converts to bitter disappointment.

So far here is the list:

Cal State Northridge (my alma mater) - Rejection letter (see photo to the left)
Cal State Channel Islands - Rejection email
Cal State Dominguez Hills - Never heard back
Cal Poly - Rejection Letter
Vermont - Rejection Letter
Oklahoma - Never heard back
Ventura College - Search canceled for budgetary reasons
Franklin College, Switzerland - Never heard back
Command & General Staff College - Position already filled

Applications still out:
Dublin
Galway
Hawaii Pacific
University South Florida
UC Riverside

The depressing search continues..........
