i’m a prospective teacher, and i’m working on finding a school that’s hiring right now since i was recently hired by a school district. i’ve been emailing principals and following up with a phone call to inquire more about the job openings and hopefully stir up some interest. well, today i called a school i’m hopeful about when my cat started meowing at the sound of my voice. one of my nicknames for her is “princess” and when i was on the phone i slipped up and said “may i please speak to PRINCESS [lastname]?” instead of principal. felt like i was going to fucking die and quickly tried to remedy the slip of the tongue but i could hear the receptionist laughing quietly on the other line. turns out the principal was in a meeting and she never called me back. i might be too mortified to call again tomorrow. tl;dr - called about a teaching position and accidentally referred to the principal as princess. didn’t get a callback from said principal.
