I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Boy. I would encourage you to sleep in anyhow and just go in late. I understand feeling like that isn't an option, but maybe it actually is?

Well, I got to tell the NRA fuck off. Hubby was a member for reasons that were sufficient for me. There was a call from them tonight, don't know why. I was able to say "He died," which flustered the good ol' boy dreadfully and he said they wouldn't bother me again. We'll see. I should feel bad for making someone else feel bad, but if you shill for the NRA, you get what you deserve.

Depending on the type of position at districts, transcripts are normal because they place you on a place on the pay scale. Usually for certificated employees and not classified, but I'm not always certain.

I've just set up my feedly feed to funnel Clint/Coulson fic to me. It's a brave new world. Soon I'll be dumping AT&T phone and Internet and going solely to my cellphone and Google fiber--yay, Google getting a sweetheart deal from my city council!

msbelle, I suspect the district has only one application process, and they don't bother distinguishing between teaching and not-teaching jobs in terms of the forms they request. For one thing, that would be work for them; for another, it allows them to round-file anyone who fails to meet all the steps of the application.

In the world of the internet-enabled job search, it's too easy to apply to things, and employers are developing all sorts of tools to filter out applicants. Even when the criteria isn't legitimately related to the job itself, it's just a way to bring the number of applicants down to a reasonable number before they start actually looking at them.

In other news, I have bookmarked four different recipes for almond-apricot tarts. I think I will try the Mollie Katzen one: [link] although this one looks good too: [link]

I'll do the crust tonight and make the rest tomorrow, to bring to a friend's house on Thursday night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am getting so much conflicting resume advice. I know it's too long--I dropped a page. But if I drop it to ten years, people don't see what a magician I am.

Anyway, once it's in the hands of a recruiter and they work their magic--I can only hope for the best.

Mentor from work called. Apparently the INCOMPETENT woman was fired too, And I keep seeing "New job for XXX!" congratulations emails from people I've taken so many meetings with.

Good luck, company.

Heather, smonster, Nora, for all of you who were lucky enough to have Kara, I am sorry. I didn't get know her, but you brought her to light and got to love her. And this just sucks.
