Steph, in searching for work-at-home stuff for myself, medical editors are in really high demand. Hopefully you won't have a hard time finding something else.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm sorry to hear the bad news, Steph. I hope it all works itself out to your good.
Thanks. I'm just reminding myself that it's 3 months of work, which is good, and in the meantime the AMA gig is ongoing and steady (if not full time), and I can keep looking for other stuff and/or figure out if I want to go back to a 9-5 office job.

Can I ask -- what places are you looking? I may be looking in the wrong places.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I actually signed up for a month at a site called FlexJobs, which focuses on telecommuting jobs and jobs with flexible schedules. I found a coupon that made the month $5, and I figured it was worth it. They basically curate the job listings and weed out the spam.
Obviously I don't know any details about your experience, so all of these job listings might not be relevant. If you decide you want to sign up for the site, let me know and I'll dig up that coupon code I used.

I have a feeling I will. I'm about to run out the door, but I'll check this out when I get back, and then I may shoot you an email. Thank you so much!

No problem.
I am super-grumpy girl, because I'm sick, and the interview I went to this morning was a 10-minute editing test. For which I drove half an hour each way.

Hey several of those jobs are for working in either my company or one just like it. Teppy, let me know if you want to chat, possibly about some keywords. Or get me a recruitment bonus. :)

So the giant bus crash in NorCal? One of the students who died (though he attends another high school now) was attending my school two years ago and last year I taught his younger brother.
Oof.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Teaching makes for a small world, doesn't it?
I just whiffed the ball. Missed a meeting I scheduled that now can't be had before Tuesday. And it was shit I wanted to get off the ground pretty urgently too. This week is not my week.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Kat, that crash is so heartbreaking! Oh, those poor families!
I am tired and cranky and have so much work to do I can't possibly meet my deadlines. Plus a sick kid at home, and unavoidable distractions in the form of my sister coming and so needing to devote half the weekend to cleaning my sister's apt. Ugh. I am going to be so broken by summer.
Sorry for the whine. I should just keep my eye on tonight's reward: Book of Mormon tickets! And no fever, so I get to go!

I'm so sorry, Kat. When I heard about that on the radio I wondered if it was kids you might know.
