I applied tonight to teach Summer School this Summer and I am optimistic I will get a position because 1) I applied as soon as the openings were announced tonight (last week I waited a week to apply- still surprised I could not get a position though as in the past I had applied in April and May and got positions) and 2) this year there are 6 Summer School locations instead of only 4 locations last year. I am posting that information here in the GCON20 thread because if I get a position then unfortunately that Friday July 10th is the only day I could not take the day off from work as that is the last day of the term and if we don't turn in our grades in time then we are basically not eligible for Summer positions in the future. teaching Summer School is extremely easy extra money to make, so I have to take a position if it is offered. But, unlike 2 years ago in Pittsburgh when I had to miss the first night of Galacticon for this same reason, this time I might still make it for the Friday night event in Chicago as Chicago has a closer time zone than Pittsburgh and it is a quicker flight for me to Chicago than to Pittsburgh. I only work morning hours during Summer School so, even if I get a Summer position, I think I can still make the Friday night show in Chicago.  |

As of this moment, there are no changes to our release schedule or GalactiCon. We will continue to monitor events and let everyone know if any changes are necessary in light of the COVID-19 situation.

Unlike last year, this morning I was offered a Summer School position for this year. If it happens as scheduled then the terms ends the Friday of GC20 which would probably impact my arrival time in Chicago as the end of the term is the only day I can not take off. I have not checked the other airlines yet, but (unless I missed one as I checked quickly) I saw that there are not any flights on Southwest for that day that would allow me to work that day and still make it in time to Chicago for the show that night. I think the earliest Southwest flight I saw that would work for me has me landing in Chicago at about 8:25 PM.
But at the moment I am doubtful I work Summer School this year even though I got a job offer as 1) I am not convinced schools in Nevada are going to reopen by the start of Summer School (starts 1st full week in June) and 2) I don't think there will be as much need for Summer School anyways this year since, instead of moving forward with new curriculum right now since many students do not have technology at home, we instead just reopened our 3rd Quarter grade book to allow students to turn in missing work and improve their grades so I think many students who would have needed Summer School will not need it by the time this school year ends next month.

I am literally so close to buying tickets for flying to Chicago...but as also temped just to make it a drive and then swing south to see some folks that I know down in St. Louis...I really need to make a decision on what I am going to do...out and back or road trip. I so much like a good road trip...

I so much like a good road trip... Well you will certainly have the time for a road trip by then... I still haven't bought flight tickets yet. Was about to when everything shut down. Going to keep an eye on things to see if Gcon is still a go. At this point the only major change is no White Sox game Sunday, as I can't imagine baseball will be back that quickly. We'll see what happens with wrestling... |

If wrestling isn't a thing, maybe we'll do a special Friday night tournament for some sort of prize.
