Like a Catch 22... sort of.

I have a job offer to teach ELA at a school in Ozone Park, Queens, NYC. I also don't have said job offer. 

What?!

Let me lay it down right quick, the principal wants to hire me but can't offer a concrete commitment because he doesn't know his school's budget yet. I'm his top prospect that he wants to acquire for his school though. So now, I have to wait a week to see if this will go through. 

Catch 22 for sure.
