OT: just applied for a job!

OMG - just applied for a job!!! It is teaching English to engineering students 16 years+. I saw the job last week in the paper and have been thinking about it ever since. Just got DD#1 (13) to spell check for me, because it was all in French, which is OK written, but not if I have to speak it!! Hehehe.... What have I done......?

If, and that is a big if, as I have left it a week that I should perchance to get it, it would work out really well, because I think that they have the same school holidays as my 2 DDs. I am here shaking. I have been teaching English to primary children for a year and my contract expires at the end of this month and I don't know if it will be renewed because of what finances are available to the schools for language training, so I won't find out probably until November, like last year. I would feel guilty if I got it and couldn't fit them in anymore, but the money would be useful, not knowing what they are offering.

I am now rambling on, I don't even know if it is still available. OK, deep breath time!

Changing the subject, it looks like we are about to have a thunderstorm here. Yesterday in Normandy (Northern France) there was a tornado (very rare!) and 4 people were killed and 9 injured. Just a bit of rain will do here, thanks. The garden is dry and the temperature has just peaked at 32 degrees centigrade in the shade - don't know in Fahrenheit, used to but brain has gone all metric!

Love to all Janner France

You know you've been quilting too long when you automatically read the title of this thread as "appliqued for a job".

Good luck, Janner!

Tornado was in Nord, not Normandy so DT should be OK
