Aurelia, you definitely should apply. I bet there are a lot of people around who could help you.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
From an LATimes article on the failure of the school system.
Seidel once brokered multimillion-dollar business deals but left a 25-year law career, hoping to find a more fulfilling job and satisfy an old desire to teach. Nothing, however, prepared him for period five.
"I got through a year of Vietnam," he said, "so I tell myself every day I can get through 53 minutes of fifth period…. I don't know if I am making a difference with a single kid."
I so have that 5th period class. I tell myself, "you've run marathons! you can survive 5th period!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I went to school in Philly, too. I liked it. It's little, which of course I didn't really realize until I visited, post-NYC.
And my only earwax issue is over-zealous q-tipping, according to my ENT -- he said they were overly clean. But I DON'T CARE.
Aurelia, that's exciting! Just make your resume as long as possible, and call it a vita. t /not that helpful

I so want to poke at Jesse about her Philly school.

Because it's so awesome?
Oh, Manayunk is cute, but not that close to downtown, in Philly terms. I think. Now I want to draw the map of Center City that showed up in every class I ever took, that I actually just had to draw over the weekend.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
aurelia, apply! You'd be perfect for that job. I bet Drew could give you some pointers.

Yep. Manayunk commutes suck. Depending on where the job is though.... it's not close to Center City at all and the 76 is deadly. But if you are working somewhere NOT in Center City, it's not so bad.
I like Chestnut Hill more.

And did anyone post that Wendy Wasserstein died? (NYTimes article: [link] )

The status is NOT quo.
Just catching up…
Jars and quester, I’m so sorry about your losses. Strength to you and yours.
ita, congrats! Fabulous brown-belted news.
Happy birthday, Anne!
Calli, so sorry about the asshats.
Beth, I’m sending all the good vibes I can to you and to Matt’s family.
The Left Coasters all seem to have posts about how cool they are.
I am painfully aware that I have never been cool, so I must not be a proper Left Coaster.
Aimee, good luck making this decision.
