I've been edgy all day and wasn't sure why. You know how sometimes your body knows a big change is coming before you do? I think this was one of those days. Just got out of a whole-school meeting with two reps from the Board of Trustees.

Our current Interim Head, who the faculty loves, is not being asked to move on to the next stage of the hiring process. The Board has selected a single candidate to put forth to us, who will be touring the school and entering the final round of interviews by herself. The faculty is freaking out, but I have to say that I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. I'll know better once I meet the candidate in a couple of weeks, but it sounds like she comes from a much stronger educational background (as in grounded in educational experience herself) than our current Interim Head, and I'm excited to meet her.

But yeah--the school is edgy as hell right now, and all the change can be tough for people who like stability.

Go Fay! Go ice cream!

But it's really sinking in, after spending time with my blood family, I think y'all are more kin to me then they are.

I think that every time I go home. I skip and skim over the board when I'm at my mother's, because it helps me to remember that there are sane people out there somewhere. Then she complains that I'm *always* on the internet.

eta: Fay, it's only ice cream. Also, no one who likes ice cream can be all bad. It's also a way to judge character. Beware of someone who always orders the same ice cream. Be even more leery of someone who can't decide what he wants.

Also, it was a good asking-out:

So, what would you say to an icecream? Other than "Hello, icecream. I regret that our acquaintance is to be so fleeting."

Um. See, but what if we don't like/fancy each other? But I realise that not meeting someone on this basis is stupid. I realise that. Er. I just - yeah. Right. Conquer that RunAway! reflex, Fay. It's nobody's friend.

wow Fay, I would have never pegged you for this shy. Your posts always seem so full of life. It's kinda cute, and I'm not just saying that cuz I'm a bit smitten by your pixels in here.

As much as it pains me to say... it's Ice Cream. Go for it. What's the worst that could happen? It's not like he's trying to booze you up or something. It's kinda innocent. And Ginger, your sentiment is spot on!

If you don't fancy each other, you'll still have had ice cream. There's no bad there.

Are you going to go to the place with the alcoholic ice cream?

sj, you and TCG are the bomb diggity.

Thanks, Sparky. She turned me down. She said she still can't afford half. I can't do much more than pay for half of a plane ride and offer her a free place to stay, but I still hate that she is on the opposite end of the country, unhappy and there's nothing I can do about it.

wow Fay, I would have never pegged you for this shy.

I can have layers!

Er. Yes, I know it's silly. Um. Jumping on a 'plane and heading off into the unknown - this I can do. Because, you know, it's not the same kind of vulnerability. Or something.

Anyway, yeah, mountain out of molehill much? Right. Right. Okay. I should email him.

Later.

Aw, sj. That sucks. It was still a nice offer, though.

I discussed Allyson's book with my mom recently and she wants to read it. I think she'll like it. I just nee to find my copy when we unpack the books.

I just spend a half an hour passing the time with the Alltel sales rep. Very young guy but he was very talky. Asked me my opinions on everything from the iPhone to Windows Vista. He said it was nice to talk to someone that was interested in technology and that folks aroud here aren't all that up on the latest mobile gadgetry. I think we'll be getting a good deal on mobile service. About the same thing we pay now for two phones. It has fewer minutes but includes unlimited internet. I picked out a Motorola Q phone, which is just about the same thing as my Blackjack and I'm getting it cheaper.

Now I need to unload a nearly-new BlackJack that's tied to AT&T's network.
