Hmmm, I was just thinking about something that occurred to me.
Many years ago, I wanted to apply to teach at this school that does short courses. I thought about it a lot, even tried to apply, but for some reason never put in application. However, I thought about the place a lot, probably would check out the site, every six months nearly every year.
Early last year I actually did ring up inquiring about a position I saw advertised and although the position was not suitable the woman I spoke to, said she would keep me in mind for the future.
Low and behold a year later she did get back to me and next month I will be teaching a short course at this school
