More money, good benefits, nice people, and work you'll enjoy? Sounds pretty great, LJ. Congratulations!

I have hooks by the door for my keys. It works for me, but DH is apparently incapable of hanging up his jeys the second he comes in the door and still leaves them lying around wherever - he has a tendency to explode in a puff of stuff (keys, change, receipts, lighters, socks) as he moves through our home (or wherever he is, honestly, he's impressed everyone who's had us over), strewing detritus in his wake. But at least when I find his keys, I can hang them on the hook.

(Okay, the sheer low comedy of a satisfied "Aah!" after a very loud noise from behind is enough to cheer a body.)

Emmett would get a look of intent concentration, turn purple in the face, there would be the sound "Splorch!" and then he'd be grinning his gummy grin.

OK, cool. Also explains a scene in "The Fortress of Solitude"(Which you should read, if you've not, it's very Hecly.) And I should not beg...I have my rep on the street to think of, after all. Spike's Bitches...Not Begging-Ass Bitches.

It's been three years since you had a decent income, no? That's a lot of scraping.

Geez, you're right. I'll still be scraping this summer, but once my paycheck hits this Friday, the worst is over. I'll still be scraping, but there'll actually be peanut butter on my knife.

WooHoo! I've accomplished something!

Kristin, the principal was SO impressed with the bilingual Neruda lesson. You were so right.

I'm thrilled, Erin. We should definitely keep in touch next year. I've been thinking about starting an English teacher LJ just for my English teaching friends...would you be interested in joining?

(and when they get to 2.5, they fart, "Ewww 'tinky!" and giggle maniacally.)

Completely! That would be such a great tool!

And I completely want to trade plans with you. I can use whatever I want, order my own texts (can you say teacher copy?! I LOVE teacher copies!), decide what to do --everything! Also, I agreed to put on a fall and spring performance, like a poetry slam and then a play, and that adds $1200 to my salary! And they'll pay for the last 6 hours of my MA!

WooHoo! I've accomplished something!

Yay, vw! What did you accomplish?

The Jobma is strong in this day.

Please let it continue through this week. I'm meeting for coffee tomorrow with the woman who would be my supervisor for the new job.

I have hooks by the door for my keys.

We have a small table directly inside, just for our keys & sunglasses.
