Jennifer, Now your next book is going to be on cooking / nutrition experiments
I'm delighted for you, after all those years of studying and homeschooling and community college teaching. You've arrived at the Starting point on another interesting Journey, as we say in Ireland, May the road rise to meet you!

thank you everyone for the kudos! To answer questions- this is a PART time job (I'm a homeschooling mommy first) but things might get interesting this summer.
Also, I wanted to add, that they were INCREDIBLY thorough when I applied. They spoke with my former employer AND my thesis advisor! They did a criminal and credit background check. (???) Seems like a lot to invest in my little job, but I'm excited none the less!

Part time will be even better!!! You'll have the best of both worlds and your kids will learn from your example both at home and in an AMAZING job!!
Regarding the background check, I think it's just standard at most places. I had to go through all that too for my upcoming job. I was told that the credit check wasn't to check my credit score, it was to see if there was fraud - more than anything to help me, but also since I'll have signing authority on more than 5k. They said that they didn't care if I had good or bad credit, just wanted to make sure that there wasn't anyone out there pretending to be me. The HR lady also told me that it's actually really helpful.. she doesn't usually see fraud, but when she does, it doesn't mean they won't hire you - it means that they'll let you know that someone else is using your identity and try to help you fix it. No clue if it's the same at your new job, just thought I'd mention it.
