I am selling myself!

No, no -- not that! I am job hunting. Job hunting as a teacher is extremely sluggish and, frankly, scary in KC right now. So...I have signed up at Linked In under my real name. I am contacting friends, family and 'Ffistas there to see what possibilities I can find.

I am Erin Gr--- there, so if you get a message from someone on that site, that's me. I'm looking for KCMO area teacher jobs, and don't want to relocate, but am also looking for LD learning gigs, and I am also looking at writer, editor, research, proofreader gigs.

I'm trying to make my own -ma.

Stompies (or anyone else) -- if this is AT ALL inappropriate, let me know! I hesitated before posting it here, but I figured WTH.

Thanks, all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As my job is also in flux, I will also be doing some LinkedIn spamming. Jessica A- is my real name.

What is even happening?

I had a biopsy the other day and have to have an ultrasound, this morning. Please keep me in your thoughts and/or prayers.

What is even happening?

Biopsy and ultrasound have come back. I don't have cancer. We're watching and waiting to see if there was just something fluky going on, or if I need any sort of treatment. Thanks for all the ~ma. I hereby release it back into the wild.

It's official - I am moving to Baltimore on (or about) Dec. 1! Huge thanks to lisah for her help with finding housing. She's getting a thank-you dinner from me when I finally get there, I tell you what. (Pencil me in, lisah!)

So looking forward to becoming a Bal'morista.

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

I just found out that a former student of my tiny school committed suicide. Her younger sister is still a student at our school. Any ~ma you can spare for our fragile community (we lost another student only 8 months ago, you may remember) would be appreciated.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Taking Liv in for some extensive dental work this morning. They are sedating her (I wish they could sedate me as well). A little ~ma that all goes smoothly and she comes out alright would be appreciated.
