and today is?

Remember how, when you were a kid, and it was summer vacation, you never knew what day of the week it was. The weeks were only marked by Sundays and church? Well, that’s pretty much how our life is going so far. We’ve got a couple of lines in the work world and now it’s all about sitting and waiting for a bite. (It’s kind of like fishing, but the only bait is us.) Here’s the line-up:

*Teaching entry-level college English; Verdict: We’ve been approved to teach, but they don’t need teachers…lucky us.
*Tutoring at same college as above; Verdict: Icy week last week, so chances are they never processed our applications; this leaves us still waiting….still hoping…and still sitting with our fingers (and toes!) crossed.
*Substitute teaching: We have bachelors (yay!), but no teaching degrees, thus we have to apply for restricted-subbing licenses ($100 a pop + $50 expediting fee; yes, ladies and gentlemen, that’s $300 between the two of us). And because we don’t have the teaching degrees to get the regular subbing license, we only get to teach 60 days out of the year. (Truth be told 60 days is better than 0 days, but 60 days is still only 2 months of work). Either way that job still takes time and money
*Tutoring at the High School (or as they call it “Instructional Aid”); Verdict: Same as tutoring at the college. We’re waiting for a bite.

Basically if none of these pan out….we’re back to square one… Any ideas?
