Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Hil, is this the one with the uniforms?

Yeah. It didn't feel like a good fit for me, anyway. I've interviewed at some other schools that felt a lot better -- ones that do more project-based and inquiry-based learning, that don't have AP classes and do more cooperative learning.

Just finished another interview. I think it went OK. I'm getting better at these, but I'm sick of doing them.

Thrive to spite them

I can understand being sick of saying the same things over and over. I hope you find a school that's the right fit.

So. I may get a pass or just a break...pass means I can leave the hospital with Will, break means 1/3 hour of wandering through the hospital with will. Right now I only have break but the resident (I think) is trying to get me a pass. Due to Will's work schedule this would be the only time he can get up until after Friday and hopefully I'll go home on Friday.

He's bringing Scola Gorilla with him. If I can't leave we can at least visit. Although he sounded upset or short on the phone the second time I talked to him but I think I'm projecting,

I know I'm asking a lot of him, we broke up and it was my idea and now I need him.

Also they are going to be moving my roommate to a private room. I'll stay here but a private room should open up tomorrow and I"ll get that. Fingers crossed.

It seems like you're doing well, askye.

I'm trying to prep my sample lesson for my next interview, but the person there hasn't gotten back to me yet to let me know what the classroom setup is, even though I've asked twice, and I can't really do much more prep until I know that.

Today sucks all around. Ducks nibbling from every direction and then I called my BFF only to find out she had recently been in the hospital for very high blood pressure with no known cause. Same friend who had a stroke several years back.

Oh no sj! Sorry about the ducks and sending lots of ~ma your friends way.

So no Scola Gorilla allowed, there was a bedbug infestation in part of the hospital and so no stuffed animals, although the forbidden list has not been updated to reflect this,

Went out had dinner, got a new pair of comfy shorts and a t shirt that says Trust me I'm a Superhero and vintage Iron Man, Spidey, and Captain America on it.

All this was marred by coming back to the psych ward which is on the same level as surgrical stuff and we ran into two of my coworkers. I realized they were there and tried to hide and wait it out but Will was insistent they were gone adn then we saw them. He was holding my hand and said his arm covered the hospital bracelet but I had a mini anxiety attack over it. Nothing I can do.

I guess say I was visiting someone if they ask. I don't know.

There's that.

Thanks, askye. She's in Texas so I don't feel like there is much I can do other than worry about her. I'm sorry about he awkward run in; those situations are never easy.

Argh. Stressing again. I just want a job. Why is this so difficult?

I'm sorry Hil, it's a stressful process that's for sure.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Job searches are worse than health care in the US. At least with health care there is a reasonable chance someone involved knows what they are doing..
