Opportunity?

Yesterday morning, another tech position was advertised.

I started applying for tech positions last March. By the end of last summer, I interviewed for a few. Nothing materialized, and I've been applying to any openings that were within a reasonable driving distance. No new interviews have followed. I'm sure I would have got one if I had opened my search radius, but I don't want to spend an hour in a car.

The position that opened up yesterday is an ideal commute. It's where I work now.

I dropped by the principal's office today to let him know I put my resume in the pile. I'm half nervous, half excited.

I really like what I have going for me now. I like my school, my coworkers, my department...I'm pretty settled in. If I get the job, my hours and my duties are going to radically change. I'll go from being an expert to a rookie around everyone who knows me. If I don't get the job, I'll get to be reminded of it daily.

I figure I have to try, though. The only way to grow is to take risks, be challenged and learn.
