The status is NOT quo.
Crap, Erin, I'm sorry to hear that.

So I know I've been quiet and kind of vague on Facebook about potential changes in my life, but the short version is that I'm applying for a new job that kind of terrifies me. I mean, any job change terrifies me, but this is a doozy. There's an opening at a girls' school ten minutes from my house...for the Director of the Upper School. And I'm applying. I don't know if I have a chance or if I even want it, but it's a possibility.
I'm also applying for a potential maybe not sure if it exists yet job at another Pasadena school for a regular English position, but this school pays WAY better than my current school and is also ten minutes away rather than on the other side of LA.
I love my current school, but four years of this commute is killing me. I have to do something, if not this year, than next.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oooh, Headmistress Pix!!
(More seriously, I kinda figured the handwavy life stuff was some job thing, and I hope that one way or another you can get a better commute.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I was thinking it had to be job stuff. and I think closer would be way better, esp with your insomnia issues. Good luck.
and Good luck to you Erin. It is bad enough to be in that situation - and worse when it is someone els's situation - and even worse when the main cause is really not someone you can have any influence over. Sending you peaceful thoughts

Our wings are not tired.
Getting rid of the commute would be a wonderful thing. Best hopes that the right position happens.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Good luck, Kristin!

Thanks. I'm wrestling with my cover letter and statement of educational philosophy now. My cover letter is a page too long, and I've barely started the statement. Gargh. I hate this process.

oooh. Good luck Pix!! Lack of crazy commute would be awesome, as would more pay.
Did I mention house I like came back on the market? Now I'm psyching myself out going "but, but, WHY is it cheaper?? Is there something wrong with it that I'm MISSING??" but I did go online this morning and ask to see it again. And whether anything is really worth that much money OMG. And whether any of the three friends I've talked to would actually be willing ot be my roommate, when it comes down to it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good luck, Kristin, and {{Erin}}.
meara, maybe it's cheaper now just because it didn't sell before. It might not be an indicator of anything wrong with the house, per se, just a down market. Maybe the homeowners were being overly optimistic in their previous price, and this price is more likely to get them a sale. In any case, if you like it, put a ring on it... or an offer, anyway.
