It has been nearly a month since I posted anything. Bad me. I must make myself heard more often.
I am still looking for a new position. Last weekend I attended an Adjunct Faculty Job Fair held by Pima Community College. I learned that they have already filled most of the vacancies for the Spring semester; I think the job fair was mostly to get new potential faculty into the system, since PCC requires a fairly lengthy certification process. I noticed that most of the people attending in hopes of teaching still needed to go through the certification process; fortunately, I completed this process last year, so should they suddenly find an opening for me, I'll be prepared to step right in. I was able to make some contacts and have a tentative appointment to meet with someone about tutoring in early November, after she returns from a conference.
I'll also be one of the participants at TusCon. I've been assigned to two panels and a reading, all on Saturday, November 14, 2009. I had an additional panel on Sunday, but due to a programming error, it had to be removed from the schedule.
My Schedule:
Of course, I'll also be attending the Friday evening Meet the Guests reception at 7:00 p.m. in the Gold Ballroom.
