What's Paige up to?
I'm still temping. I've been at the same place (Lakeside Milam Recovery Center on Eastlake) for over a month I think while they've been working on hiring someone new. They ran out of money last week for me, so now I have reduced hours and they've finally hired someone, so next Thursday is my last day. Hopefully I can get motivated to do some more job searching again. *sigh*
Most significant stress in my life at the moment is Mark's school/job. He's supposed to be student teaching. Ya know, where there's an experienced teacher in the classroom. And they mentor you. Nope. He's teaching full time at Aki Kurose middle school (Beacon Hill neighborhood I think). The class has already killed off (um, been through) four teachers this year. So he's quite stressed/verge of burnout and I'm stressed with wanting to strangle people at City University and wish I had magic wand-like helpfulness for the situation. I know he's going to be a kick ass high school math teacher if City University doesn't squash the teacher out of him first.
For Thanksgiving I'm traveling (with Mark) to Minnesota for my brother's wedding!!!! I fly out Thursday morning at 5:45 am! A.M. Godammit. The security lines ought to be short, but I still don't want to think about what time that means I need to leave (and that poor Amy needs to pick me up). I don't anticipate sleep between now and then. I need to alter my dress, PACK, do the dishes, clean the rats, dye my hair, and probably several other million things.
Oh, and it's both Mark's and Sean's birthdays today. Happy Birthday! *kisses* (hee - I feel so poly)
