Can you contact whoever is paying you and ask if they have any suggestions, vw? Because you should be getting paid, whether you're across the desk from her or not.

I'm looking at relocating, probably in the next few weeks. Is there any point to sending my resume out now?

You might as well get started. I've seen many cover letters that said things like: "I'm moving to Atlanta Dec. 1" or "I'm currently an editor in Chicago, but I'm interested in relocating to Atlanta, where I have family."

vw, why can't you charge her the same rate you'd charge in person? Is this is a private arrangement or part of an organized tutoring service that structures things that way? Because there are certainly all kinds of people who charge for email consulting of various kinds.

See, I work for the school. I have to do the tutoring on campus to get paid. The tutoring is free for the students, so I doubt she wants to pay.

Yeah, I'll probably stop by and ask Molly tomorrow.

Thanks guys! I did e-mail the girl to see if there is *any* time she could meet. We'll see what she says.

Sassy, Ginger has good advice.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm just afraid that people will think it's flakey, but if y'all have hired people this way before, I trust you. Now it's time to dust off the resume and figure out what to do about the last 4 months of not working.

Juliana, I hope everything goes well with the therapist. Remember that if you aren't a good fit with the therapist, you should find a new one. Especially if he/she starts off your first session with any sort of blame. Which I doubt but I wanted to throw that out there.

I can go to parties and socialize and interact with the other humans, but by and large, I prefer not to. That's not Aspergers, that's just me being a curmudgeon.

This. Or mostly this. From time to time I will actually crave human interaction. But it's much like my period in the sense that it's erratic and the craving only shows up about once a month. Not at the same time as my period, though, since that would be crazy. Bad cramps + loud room full of people = homicide and white chalk outlines.

A year ago today, I looked like this.

Oh, look at the pretty preggo Aimee!

Could it be at the same time as you're ovulating? Hormones are bad drugs, man.

Studies show that women are more social, wear skimpier clothing and more make-up when they/re ovulating. We are the victims of our biological urges. Anyone who says that humans are "beyond" instinct? On crack.

My period isn't always regular, but a lot of times I can tell that PMS is on it's way because I start thinking about sex all the time.

That's the norm. But if something is a tad off (and hormones are tricky little cheaters), it could be.
