Message: [QUOTE="SCNCHuskie, post: 5063739, member: 11200"] My “back to school” post will be a little bizarre. Two years ago, I quit my job to walk the Appalachian Trail, and then spent the summer in Europe. Upon my return, I applied for a teaching job in the Carolinas and during the interview I kept explaining I will take the job if they understand that on April 26, I am quitting because I have an addiction. During the process the looks on their faces was priceless whenever I mentioned “addiction.” However, I don’t know if they felt it was inappropriate to ask what the addiction was because no one asked me until the very end when they couldn’t take it anymore and the topic came up. I inform them that I was addicted to following Bruce Springsteen around the world and I was leaving for Europe on April 26. Surprisingly, they offered me the job. Toward the end of last year, they offered me a job for this upcoming year as long as I would commit to August. I explained August did not work for me. They stated, “OK, how about September? I said that it also did not work for me, but I will try them in October. Therefore, for the first time in a long time, the school year has started, and I haven’t even considered going back into the classroom. With Bruce going back to Europe next summer, maybe I’ll shoot for next year to find a school. Maybe. [/QUOTE]
