Stoned job interviews—Good thing he couldn't ask for a urine sample over the phone

Tonight, I had my second and final interview with South Bronx Charter School, and though I’m still fighting off the final grogginess of my malaria treatment, I think I hid it pretty well and I think it went off pretty nice. This one was with the Executive Director of the school, whereas the last one was with the principal—I’ll admit I like the sound of the principal a lot more (a lot more energetic and dynamic, even over the phone, and a lot more engaging—whereas the Executive Director kinda reminded me of Ben Stine, only not funny). To be honest, I think I’ll probably get called for the job, but if I do, I’d like to find out some more before taking it, because as the school is so new (just established last year) and its website is still pretty basic, there’s a lot I still don’t know about it that I would like to know before joining their team. Anyhow, even the half-stoned Rolf knows how to win friends and influence people! Success!

Hmm, yes, research is a good thing. Though I trust your initial impressions from the interview--they'll be lucky to have you. Man, Ben Stine only not funny? Did he sound anything like another certain not-funny leprechan general? "No, the answer is your feet!"

I heard a little kid on the news tonight with a bronx accent, and I thought of you and how much you're going to love teaching kids like her in NYC soon.
