if I'm honest you come to mind but baby I'm not

Whew, I'm starting to get a little kittened out. That's probably common for foster mamas (and parents of actual babies as well). The kits are adorable and awesome, but they require constant supervision, and constant cleaning-up-after, and I often feel like I need a break

:/ I think you should apply for the job. I mean, I'm not saying it'd be easy to leave, but if it's not somewhere you want to become permanently affixed to, there's no better time than now, right? And Hypatia could come with you, couldn't she?

I couldn't take Hypatia away from my roommate (Kate). She's as much hers as mine, if not more. Kate was the one who wanted to get a cat in the first place.

Hypatia likes having both of us around; I think she'd be sad if either one of us wasn't there. Sigh. If only I could convince Kate to move to MA, too! Except she has even more family roots here in Milwaukee than I do.

Oh, I didn't realize your cat had a co-owner. That does make it harder. :/

Wait, I check the Amherst stuff all the time, where is that??

Thank you dear.

In non-kitten news... uh... there is no non-kitten news.

This is how I feel about baby stuff, like it's all I ever talk about. "How are you doing?" "MY BABY HAS TEETH TO EAT YOU WITH!" ". . . Yes, but how are YOU doing?" "Uh . . I have teeth, too?"

Haha, yeah, I feel like all I have done lately is work and look after kittens. I love hearing about Hester, though!

Ah, but does it get the Dee "Noodles" Maisfehlt stamp of approval?

If I moved and lost the job, I could go back home, because I know plenty of people in Milwaukee and I know where the good neighborhoods are for cheap apartments and such. But I probably wouldn't have my old job waiting for me, so that would suck. Jobs! Why do they have to make life so difficult? That sounds silly, but seriously--I feel like we're all in a state of fear now, unable or unwilling to make changes in our lives for fear of losing THE JOB that is the all-important thing these days. I'm even afraid of losing my part-time job, because it's so much better than no job at all.

I want to apply, but the deadline is in like three days and I have kittens and family obligations and I'm very tired. I don't even know how to apply--it just gives an email address, not an actual application form, so I assume a resume is what they want? Sigh, I will see what I can do. Maybe tomorrow when I don't have a grandmother's birthday party to go to.

Ah, looking at THEIR website... I was totally going to do that. Totally. *cough*

I'm way more comfortable filling out forms for job apps. I haven't seen enough resumes in my day to know what one's supposed to look like, let alone a cover letter. Thanks for the tip!
