I don't know how they are regarding short term assignments.

The training itself took almost two months, I think, since we only met once or twice a week.

How long are you going to be there? I know people who teach at Kaplan, but they tutor for a specific test (the N-CLEX exam for RN's), and they have worked there for years and years and years. I don't know how they are regarding short term assignments.

Oh, I'm talking about relocating and using Kaplan as an initial job and/or a supplemental job. I'll pursue deconstruction/nonprofit stuff as well, but a friend had suggested tutoring as a way to fund my philanthropic leanings.

Ah! I thought you were going for an extended vacation (like a month) and were looking for something. You should have no trouble if you are moving there!

THEY'RE REALLY LOSING IT....

I've enjoyed much of the hyperbole coming from the right since health care reform passed, but for pure hysterics, it' hard to top this National Review piece from conservative media figure and former Gingrich spokesperson Tony Blankley. (thanks to reader A.W. for the tip)

What House Minority Leader John A. Boehner has called the Battle of Capitol Hill is over. I expect that the Battle of the Electorate is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of a nonsocialist America. Upon it depends our own American way of life and the long continuity of our institutions and our history. The whole fury and might of the media and the Democratic party must very soon be trained on the electorate.

If they can stand up to the coming propaganda, America may be free, and the life of the wider free world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.

But if the voters succumb to those seven months of blandishments and deceptions, then free America -- including all that we have known and cared for -- will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.

I wonder what the reaction would have been if the public option had passed, too.

Dude, sign me up! Perverted science! Also, this means now is a good time to start my cult, right?

Cardio Cooler smoothie, swap out the soy protein for whey, add in an immunibek booster. It's no mango lassi, but it's a damned tasty smoothie.

And lunch.

Why did the guy one cube over say "Up yours, Batman."? That's not polite. Batman's gonna kick his ass.

I've never had a mango lassi.

Who are you and where do you live?

Hey Daisy Jane, do you have contacts in NO bar management still? I'm starting to think about what my plan will be once I'm able to get down there- I think I need to work for someone else for a little while to get the lay of the land, and I'm trying to suss out resources for doing so. Might this be something I ask Kara down the line as well?

It's not in the immediate future though! Still need to sell that house.

Who are you and where do you live?

If I tell you, will you come visit and bring me a mango lassi?
