It really is true: when it rains, it pours.
So after my unfortunate bout of "omfg my computer died" and after lightening my wallet considerably in the process of getting a new one, I found out I'm getting laid off.
To be fair, it's entirely my fault. I hated the job and I did a lot of stupid things that I knew, at least subconsciously, would end up getting me fired. I should probably quit first, since it's a municipal job and if I want to teach in public schools in the future I don't want "got fired from a municipal job" on my public record.
On the bright side, I suck at being proactive and being unemployed will probably give me the harrowing oomph I need to go out and look for a job that I enjoy more, or can at least tolerate. Or, you know, build a student base and start private tutoring, which would be awesome.
So anyway, early warning: if I end up disappearing for a while, it's probably because I just couldn't afford to pay my internet bill for the time being. No danger of that happening very soon, but it might in the future.
