Yeah, it's been sitting in my Amazon cart for a while, waiting for me to have a moment of weakness. But thanks!
In the interest of helping temptation along, it's available used here for about a quarter of Amazon's new book price.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

There used to be (15 years ago) a lot of talk of emergency credentials and extensions of various kinds for teachers in high demand. Specifically math teachers. You may not be in as dire straits as you think.
You're fully credentialed in MA, right? You'd think that would count for something. Though i know California has some bizarre and nonsensical hiring restrictions.

Unfortunately, emergency credentials and exceptions are just the sort of thing everyone's trying to crack down on. Also, every classroom was supposed to have a "highly qualified" teacher by the end of last year. Amusingly, I'm highly qualified in Massachusetts, just not in California yet.
I'm sure there's high enough need. It's just that trying to do things online, which I prefer, means running into the innate problems of automation -- even though technically as someone certified in another state I have up to a year after being hired to take a certain test, my application may not actually get looked at because they've set up the application to require those test scores. That sort of thing. Which means I need to make personal contact, but god I suck at that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There are scattered t-storms all over Chicago. When I got off the train it was hot and humid as fuck. I walked two blocks and suddenly it was cool. A half a block more and it was hot again.

The evil is this way?
That's a pretty typical Chicago day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Emily, I'm sorry the hassles are mounting. Let me know if I can help with anything.
On a completely different note, I need to stop at Walgreens on the way home --do you need anything?

Don't think so. New brain? This one seems to be on the fritz.

Oh, I understand the situation, now. Unfortunate that the automation isn't up to your complex case. I hope it's an easier and pleasanter process than it now seems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm here, belly-belle.
