Can you calculate something for me? How many Austrailian actuaries die from smart-ass disease?
None.
Smart-arse disease, OTOH...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

yum, I made an awesome stir fry with my farm fresh pak choi. It tasted like a real stir fry... I used peanut oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin, and red pepper flakes to get the seasoning just right, and it was pretty awesome.

Hmm. How would one describe Oakland in comparison to San Francisco, in a way that's complimentary to Oakland? I'm supposed to explain why I want to teach in Oakland specifically, and "San Francisco's too big, it scares me, and have you seen the housing prices there?" seems like not the best bet. I mean, I do want close enough to visit without the high prices and general high-stakesness of the actual city, preferably in a place that's got its own character. But does that sound too much like, "Well, I wanted a place that was near SF but cheaper, and hey, there you are!"?

Oh, heck, Hec. I was kidding. Then I went to watch "Three Stories" again, because fannish obsessions are harsh mistresses. that's about it.

Hec's pantless? Whyfor you want to buy him more, then? Pantless is good! Not that I'm pantless right now, but I feel like it with my yoga pants on. Go, pantless; choose pantless!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oakland is generally poorer, and therefore faces more of a challenge than SF, and is therefore more in need of your mad teaching skillz?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Emily, my dad does a shitload of volunteer work with the Oakland school board and knows many, many of the teachers and principals; I could ask him about keywords they like to hear or the kinds of teachers that get them all excited and eager or whatnot. And if you have any specific questions, ping me at my profile addy.
