The Big Interview

Well, as you know I am in the process of interviewing to take on the role of principal at my high school... so I had my second interview on Friday afternoon... We were interviewed by two members of the Board... in retrospect, knowing what I do about each of the two, I am not surprised things shook out as they did... Anyway, I had a good time in the interview, questions were fine and they avoided completely the issue of my not living in the community (in the past that has been a ginormous issue for some)... so I walked out of the interview to see my friend the associate superintendent hanging out and waiting with the other applicant (at this point there are only two of us left in the running)... He smiled a "hi" my way and I gave him a high five only to point out that he must have come to my school that morning to see what I was wearing as he had copied me... I went out and bought a new gray suit (size 10 - I am so excited) and a stylish pink shell along with a cool belt.... I wore it all day... so anyway I know he must have come to see what his competition was up to as he showed up in gray pants, a pink shirt and maroon tie... as you can see in the picture we were both trying to add subtlety to our large and dominant personalities with these muted colors... at least the photo shoot distracted him prior to his interview :)... I hung out with my friend the associate superintendent to find out at the end of both interviews they still cannot make a decision between he and I so we will in fact each have another interview and this time it will occur in front of the entire school Board... this is actually fine as there is a slight bit of controversy about this contest, and ultimately the Board has to approve the next principal, so why not let them choose... Don't know when that will be, but I will let you know... The picture of me and Steve was taken after my interview and before his... we both look happy enough :)
