So it is a little depressing to have to start the job search process again. Just today I got sent documents to give out to referees, and I can see that it is a chore for them to fill in the forms and write up about my teaching. At the same time, I know very little about the job and the town. Is it a good place to live? Will we find a cheap place that is good to live in?
Should I apply for everything, remembering that last year I applied to 30+ jobs and had to choose between two. Or should I wait for something ideal in the economics teaching area?
IN other areas, well, it is my last weekend with my wife and baby son before they go off on holiday to South Africa with the in-laws. Not surprisingly, the baby is antsy and is wide awake at this time, 3am. I am very tired.
It seems a double or more whammy, with the baby being difficult and the need to search for jobs. In addition, a lack of money till Tuesday, then there is the amount of classes I need to prepare...

MA
It has taken a while but I finally have my MA transcript. It has been a long story, involving a copy bouncing around the world, then the copy being sent by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority back to me so that I could send the copy to the University of Surrey (which had lost my records, though they knew I had been in the university and had an MA), who could then create an original.
Now my thought is when I will get a letter back from NZQA. I sent the transcript today, the 29th July 2011. So it should get to Wellington on Wednesday, plus or minus a day, which would be the 3rd of August. Then they should be able to get my qualifications assessed within two weeks or so, which would be approximately the 17th of August. Then three or four days to get the letter sent to me in Dunedin, which would mean something like the 20th August. Then a day or so to get my NZQA letter certified by the pricipal, so I could be sending off that certified letter on the 23rd August to School Support Limited (aka Limited Support for Schools) in Christchurch. It should arrive there at the end of that week, e.g. by Friday 26th August.
Then the Limited Support for Schools should take two weeks to get my salary assessed, and I should get my salary assessed more accurately by 9th or so of September.
Which is about the time that my wife goes on holiday to South Africa, leaving me and my middle son on our own.
