Update 5/11: Arrrrggggghhh. It's apparently been narrowed down to me and one other candidate, and I've been invited to come in next week and teach a sample lesson with their students. This is fine, I can do it, but it's so uncomfortable teaching strange kids in a strange room without the things I'm used to having.
But it's good that the job is still a possibility. Waiting for more details about what they want to see.
******
Ok for those who have been following the saga of my job and crazy principal, guess what?
Today I interviewed two places. The first was one of my old schools, where I started the music program. The second one is a part time gig (unheard of) at the music magnet school that is - get this - in my neighborhood. Walking distance. I’d be teaching two days a week, Monday and Tuesday, and the best part is it’s a .4 FTE instead of hourly. So o get paid through school holidays like a normal teacher.
They loved me. I loved them. It’s a beautiful new campus with a big room and lots of instruments. The principal was on me to send my references and a few other details right away tonight.
I am SO excited. AND my DD who has had the very rough time is graduating tomorrow. Things are much better in Merge land these days.
ETA: I hope I haven’t jinxed this by sharing prematurely. Now I’m worried that my current principal will say something bad when he calls her, but I think she’d be legally liable if she did, right? I’m an employee in good standing.

Woohoo on both counts!
Don't forget they've got construction nightmare going on at the university. They were saying yesterday allow 90 minutes to get to your destination on campus.
