A Day in the Life: May 2015
Hello to anyone who's still on livejournal ( Read more... ) -
The mysterious blogger returns!
It seems like every time I post here, I begin with "it's been almost a year since I last wrote" and a lot of catching up has to be done. Luckily not much has actually changed between the last update and this one. :) My long-term subbing job at the elementary school finished in November, and I went back to daily subbing- this time in both counties ( Read more... ) -
Hello, hello again
It's been almost a year since my last post! I don't know how I got out of the habit of blogging. I guess my life got strange and unpredictable, and for a while I felt like I had nothing to say (and then, for another period of time, I had so much to say that it felt overwhelming to post!). So let me see if I can make this update as succinct as ( Read more... ) -
Fifth time's the charm!
Last night I went to the Potomac Library, got there with 20 minutes to spare, and successfully took the library page assessment exercise! So that's a weight off my shoulders now. As predicted, I finished in about ten minutes, and it seemed pretty easy. I'll call for my scores on Thursday, and then I get put on a waiting list for the 3 libraries I ( Read more... ) -
In which the universe conspires to keep me from getting a second job
As you might remember from an earlier entry a while back, I am in the process of getting a second job to supplement my income from subbing in Frederick County. (The subbing is still profitable- I'm working almost every day this school year- but it's not a huge amount of money, and I'm really living paycheck to paycheck right now, scraping together ( Read more... ) -
Some (brief, hopefully) thoughts on "Elementary" & Sherlock Holmes
Like many people, especially those of us who are fans of the BBC Sherlock, I've been dubious for a long time about America's modern-day remake (called Elementary- which, first of all, how does that title even make sense in a modern-day adaptation? But I'm just nitpicking there). The controversy is that, instead of John Watson being a man, the ( Read more... ) -
After a dry spell, a massive pile of information!
One might make the point that, if I can't remember off the top of my head what the last entry I posted was about, then it might be too long since I've posted an entry. So here, I'm making an effort at updating! :)
The haircut I got in the last entry is...well, it's still a good haircut, but it's rebelling. My bangs do NOT want to stay in the new ( Read more... ) -
Introducing...my new haircut!
I did something this past week that was kind of monumental for me: I got a haircut.
Well, no, getting a haircut wasn't monumental. I do get it cut now and again. ;) But this time I decided I wanted to drastically change my hairstyle in some way. I've worn it the same way- thick bangs, around shoulder-length or a couple inches longer, all one ( Read more... ) -
What is this lj you speak of?
So apparently I'm having an off year with lj? I didn't realize how rarely I was posting until just recently. I've probably not been commenting as much on other people's posts as usual, although I have been reading my friendslist sporadically. Mostly from February on I was working as a substitute teacher, which kept me plenty busy; now I'm still on ( Read more... ) -
Here, flist, have some hugs!
I know I haven't been around much at all the last couple of months. And up until a few weeks ago, I was reading my friendslist pretty regularly, but I've gotten busy recently and have fallen off the lj wagon a bit. I will, eventually, do a post about my work and my life and all the stuff that's been keeping me busy. But for tonight, I just wanted ( Read more... )
