Those are some extraordinarily patient cats.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

What is even happening?
I don't know. Chocolate is more likely to give me a headache than to cure one. Have you been drinking enough water? You might be a little dehydrated.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So dcp gave me the hook-up on a sooper sekrit medical writing position (pharmacology knowledge desired!) that hasn't been posted yet.
Problem is, it's in Kansas City. I don't know that I'm ready to relocate, especially when I have no idea how long I want to stay, but at the same time, I already feel so desperate since my original plan of staying here for a year seems to be getting foiled royally.
I submitted my stuff anyway. It won't matter if they decide I'm not good enough, and maybe I should go back and get my Ph.D., quitter!

Now tagless for your comfort.
vw, AmyLiz is wise. Money's a double edged sword because it can make life easier but it doesn't always make it better. Everyone I know who isn't really, really rich struggles with it. It's an ordinary fact of life. Don't paint yourself a financial failure. Most of the folks I know are just surviving and they don't consider that a failure.
Lyra Jane, that is somewhat reassuring. I do hope you find one of those easier, higher-paying position quickly and I hope it's a good fit for you.
Plei, insent. And I'm very upset withmyself for not finding a Reel Mom type situation here in town while Owen was wee. Now that we've reached toddlertown, it's the babysitter or Netflix.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad you have a lead, P-C. If you get an offer, you can consider it with you situation at that time, you don't have to decide now. If you do move to KC, you can tell your parents you'll be closer to them...

Whoot! Cashmere, congratulations! Owen is going to be the supercoolest older brother.
Lyra Jane, you are not a failure by any means. It's a shitty job market out there right now. And more companies are doing what they can to save a buck than we would like.
P-C, take the job in KC. You're young and you still have plenty of places to see and things to do. Let KC be the first in a veritble cornucopia of cool places you will have lived. Basically, you want the experience, get it.
Nora, I swear by the Aveeno Positvely Radiant face wash. That stuff leaves my skin feeling so soft and resiliant, I rarely use anything else.
vw, even though I've always had relatively good credit and took out student loans for myself with no problem, when I went to get a loan for my daughter's school I didn't qualify. I had to have a cosigner, so I had my mother cosign for me. Is it possible you could get the loan with a cosigner? Also, even if you don't qualify for a Stafford Loan, check with the state. The state often has various loan programs available, too.
