Okay, new update. I spoke to the hiring lady at the school today and everything is coming along good. I have completed all of my online stuff, with the exception of my references sending their emails back.
However, she asked me if I have told my current employer my plans yet. Nope! Since I have been working there for almost 11 years, they are the only employer she needs to call and confirm employment.
So tomorrow, I have scheduled a meeting the GM and my manager to drop the news. Oh boy!!
I'm not going to quit, just scale down to a part-time status, which they have done for me in the past, when my kids were small and I was a part-time stay at home dad. So I'm thinking they will be Okay with it.
Ill keep you posted. Hoping it won't be a big deal.
