A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hello, hello! Look at me! Using the internet to Not Work.

Which is good, actually, instead of a Bad Thing, strangely enough.

I have 1 on-line English 101 that started almost two weeks ago that is kicking my ass (learning the platform, creating templates, ALL grammar exercises the first week -- ugh, and have another on-line 101 class at the same uni that starts 3.14, and I scored two more face-to-face junior-level writing classes at a tech college in KC, which start 3/15.

I am busy, and will be busier. But I will also be GETTING PAID for the first time since October, which is OMG so awesome. I feel like I finally have real insight into what housewives pre-60's felt like: "Please, honey, may I have $2 for milk."

Totally not a dis on my fiance, who has been awesome about me being unemployed, but, man, it has fucking grated on my feminism and my fucking pride. HATES DEPENDENCY, precious.

I am happy to see everyone, and have totally just skimmed the last 50 posts or so, so I hope everything is well.

Our wings are not tired.

Erin, that paycheck is going to feel so damned good. I am happy for you.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Congrats on the pay, Erin!

Sorry to hear about the job, Hil. It's good that you're getting a lot of interviews. I hope one leads to something really soon.

Aw, Leeds! Leeds is a lovely city! Sorry it doesn't have the academic stuff you want, though.

Oh, it's not at all bad. I was there for my MA last year - they have great disability-related research going on. I could definitely go back there if they offered me funding. If they don't, though, it's Derby all the way, and we'll find somewhere to live. We were looking at places in Nottingham online last night. That looks possible - and cheaper!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Erin, I say make a xerox copy of that check! Congrats!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yay for paycheck and renewed independence, Erin!

Erin, yay for the paycheck! I got one in this week for the work that I did at vw's school, which was nice and kind of weird.

Fay! It is good to see you posting this morning! I'm glad that things have stayed quiet there.

I'm out of the happy no swelling pills, and I am already not a happy girl. Must get over phone fear and call my doctor on Monday.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm not sure I can handle my current job much longer. If I make a small procedural mistake, it turns into a big production, and BETRAYAL of TRUST.

Sigh

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Must get over phone fear and call my doctor on Monday.

I'll make everyone's phone calls if people will come organize my house and do my freaking paperwork. Personal paperwork. My business life is well-organized. My personal life is a shambling mess.
