Erin, that sounds mad scary. Glad you're out.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oops. five teachers didn't show up today! I have no idea if they quit. But, still...

Erin, for your sake I'm glad you're out (and that the nightmares are stopping). May you find something much better - it'd have to be saner, right? - in the near future.

Good luck, Erin. That last job sounds like it was completely soul sucking, ugh. Job~ma!
ION, I have done my share for the week. Unemployment says I have to apply for at least two jobs a week. I have done that already, today. (I'll do more, but I feel all virtuous for meeting their requirements.) Plus, I have a phone interview in 45 minutes, so the job search is moving apace.

Good for you, Erin!
Good luck, Sail!

“Not dead yet!”
I'm sitting here trying to feel virtuous over my lunch, since I've started trying to work my way back to eating healthy after a summer of travel/conference eating. Thin slices of hard salami, a couple of pieces of good cheddar, raw sugar snap peas, carrots, and broccoli with a little bleu cheese dip, and a crisp, ice cold Red Delicious apple.
I'm full now, but I hope I'm not starving in two hours.

The status is NOT quo.
Wow, Erin. That's a huge step. Good on you for figuring out it was necessary.
ION, two classes down, two to go. Going okay so far, but I think I'm going to have my hands full with a few of the girls in my 12th class. One of them admitted without the least bit of concern or remorse that she "couldn't get through" the first summer reading book and didn't bother to read the second. Oh dear. Go Team Apathy! Another student rather snottily commented that "in my AP class last year" she did a lot of this already. What. Ev. Sunshine.

"Perhaps you'd like to return? I'm sure it could be arranged."
Oy. Patience ~ma, love.

Good for you for having the guts and awareness to do that, Erin. Here's wishing you good, new job-ma.
I'm on my second day of PTO for the week, yay! I work Wed-Thurs, and then I get Friday off. Life is good.
Windsparrow, you could maybe try a non-credit, continuing ed class and see how it goes? They're cheaper, and you could pick something fun. It probably wouldn't be the same workload as a credit class, but it might just give you a pressure-free way to get an idea how you'd feel about it.
