Welcome, Sox!
I've seen the Jilli/Cass pictures several times and keep having to pick my jaw up from off the ground. GUH.
I wish I could say the violinist story surprised me, but it totally doesn't.
In meme news...so I just met with Big Boss, and she is crunching numbers to see what kind of an offer they can make me. She gave me some important assurances if I do take on the 5th class, though:
- She would move my room closer to the rest of my department and would not have me share the room with anyone else.
- I wouldn't be expected to sub or proctor except in the event of an emergency. (Take THAT, Officious Admin Assistant!)
- I would be guaranteed two preps: four sections of 9th (which is exactly what I taught this year) and one section of my new AP Women's Lit.
- She would work to keep my class sizes down.
This is sounding like a really good deal. She also flattered the heck out of me about how she and my department head have complete confidence in my abilities and really would rather pay me for a fifth class rather than hire someone else part-time. Now it's just a Jerry Maguire thing: SHOW ME THE MONEY and we shall see.

If the money is good, that does sound like a great deal, Kristin. Teaching four of the same year makes things easier, right? That's less lesson plans for you to do than if you had five different classes, right?
I hope that offer works out Kristin!
Yay! Getting my hair done at 7:00! Now I'll be all prettified for SF!
I've got a Baltimore obsession, but that doesn't count.
Late to the party but The Office: Aw, Jim and Pam kissage. Also loved that Pam went to her mom for advice. So many characters don't even like their parents.
That's really cool, Kristin! I hope it works out for you.
And, yay, Erika's seen "Casino Night"!
erika, wasn't it great? For a moment, I thought *
something was going to happen with Jan and Jim.

Fingers crossed for you, Kristin!
I would have been late to work if I had passed that guy in the station.
Me too.
But then, the music's in my blood too.
my sister's been obsessed with that particular guy since she was like 6.
I should stop spamming the thread with my apartment woes now. Sorry to be all mememe today.
I know I'm late about this, but hello! I think apartment/home showing is one of the most stressful things in life. Suddenly your home is not your home. So, vent all you need to. And, I hope you find a place soon and can be out of there.
Kristin, that sounds good. Fingers crossed for you.
