Dad approval

The year was 1999 and I was interviewing for a teaching job in Rochester Minnesota. It was a reading position and I was really excited for a new challenge. The interview went well and they offered me the job on the spot. ( I should disclose that it was August and they really needed a reading teacher). My principal offered me the job and I hesitated, "It sounds good but I just need to run it by my dad." I called dad on her cell phone, he asked me about salary, benefits, and my overall feel for the district and then he gave me the green light.

I know I am going to have those moments when I just need to get your advice, dad, so be ready.
