I got in touch with someone from community services (or whatever you want to call it) in the town I'll be moving to. We talked about location, needs, and all sorts of things like that. It's a small town, so people like this woman I spoke with know what's what.

There's an apartment building she recommended checking out, as there's a room available ( Read more... )

1) Interview tomorrow, HOMG.
I spent this morning putting together a folder of my best work as a teacher -- units I designed, course syllabi, project outlines, all that jazz. It might be overkill, but I would rather have way too much awesome shit with me than not enough awesome shit, y'know?
Now to get through the interview itself. I'm going to be ( Read more... )

After throwing my hands up in the air sometimes singin' aaaaaaaayoo! yesterday, I buckled down, cracked my knuckles, and did one of my three hour trolls through the websites of every school district and every private school in B.C. and Alberta.

(Oddly enough, I end up putting the french version of Alyssa Reid's "Alone Again" on repeat in the ( Read more... )

Today, I have decided that in order to balance my last entry, it's time to share things that are exciting and wonderful. Brace yourselves for another list, because that's the best way to organize my thoughts right now.

( A great big list of awesome, positive, and generally kickass things. )

I'm feeling a whole hell of a lot better right now. It's a nice change from the past day or two.

It helps that "Conflict of Interests" has been given the most awesome beta ever by the ever lovely Katt. The final product will be posted soon. Katt was flailing over all the hat-tips I made and a few of the characters I introduced that I haven't ( Read more... )

FLAIL!

HOLY EFFING CRAP FLAIL!

In the past 24 hours, I have:
a) Been offered a job by a tutoring agency.
b) Been contacted by that awesome tutoring agency/school I was in love with that had offered me that second interview and then seemed to ignore me.

I'm not crazy about tutoring agency  A. They're very much a drill-and-kill-type ( Read more... )

I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW.

I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW.

I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW.

And not just any job, mind you, but one in the educational field. I have a MF INTERVIEW with an independent, alternative delivery school in my area, and it is AMAZING and it is TOMORROW and HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS EEEEEE x100000000000000000000000000

Right now there's just no words. ( Read more... )

After the shittiest start to a day ever yesterday, I cannot believe how well it ended up working out.

In terms of how the day began, we're talking fighting off the urge to go in to the washroom and punch a big gorram hole in the wall before becoming a weeping mess on the floor. It was indeed that bad.

I managed to avoid doing any of this by doing ( Read more... )

We all have days where it's just not worth chewing though the straps. We also all have those days where we don't have a choice but to gnaw away and face the hell waiting ( Read more... )

It's funny.

I scribbled four, five pages worth of bitchfest in my paper journal yesterday morning in a fit of pique. I whined about work, paranoia about what people at my jobs think of me, money, my health (which hasn't been great lately), and demanded to know why the universe decided to dump on me over the past couple weeks.

And then I went to ( Read more... )
