The internet is amazing. There is an immense web site empire called singaporeexpats.com. It has EVERYTHING.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Singapore is super exciting! And if the money works, man, I don't know.

ION, tonight is one of those nights where I think I should drink more. (Not more volume, more often.) I have been so tense all week, and am no longer. Phew.

Advice solicited:

I am sending resumes and cover letters to schools. I have principals' emails as well as snail mail. Do I just email the resume unsolicited or do I send a hard copy?

You're not responding to something specific? I think I'd mail a hard copy, but I'm old school.

Right, Jesse. That's what I was thinking. I don't want to spam potential employers, but nor do I want my resume never to make it to them.

while we are asking advice. Starting in May, I am going to need to have someone pick mac up from afterschool and bring him to my work place (30 minutes) once a week. Is that something that one can reasonable ask as a favor of a friend who is not working at that time, or should I just hire someone for 1 hour once a week?
