There is some solid evidence that I did not think this whole Match thing out completely in my brain prior to finally joining the site two weeks ago.
Case in point, are you all aware that there are two worst times of the year for a teacher? Yes, some would argue there is only one and it is mid-August through mid-June with a couple of respites in the course of the year, but I contend that the first eight weeks of the school year and the last three are the worst. My children would agree wholeheartedly, by the way.
Anyhoo, I digress a bit (but not really). My point is this. I gave myself a week and a half for this process to have my full and undivided attention before I legitimately have no time to give to anything other than what's already established in my world. Since I don't have an appointment to officially analyze what this says about me, my true intentions and my timeline, I'm just going to go with this thought: I might not be the sharpest crayon in the box.
And now that my attention is divided and I'm giving myself just a wee bit of time a night to peruse the offerings of the site, agonizingly debate the merits of whether or not to initiate a contact, I'm highly annoyed.
Annoyed I tell you.
Because, shockingly, apparently the other people on the site have their own timetables as well. And this might not work for me. Call me nuts, but there should be some sort of protocol for all of this. A generic thanks but no thanks email/message once someone initiates contact comes to mind. Again, possibly a new business venture.
Maybe living in an instant gratification society has some serious drawbacks.
