Job update:

The already thick plot has been on simmer long enough to have a nice brown crust of stress on it; still, more thickening has occurred. I got my contract for H today and have fifteen days from today to sign it. I have a second interview Friday with another district and they will have eleven days to offer me a contract or I will have to sign the H contract.
