Good luck to you, whatever you do. You've always been a good scout on LJ and I've enjoyed exchanging thoughts, angst, and snark with you; it goes without saying that I've missed reading your posts terribly.

You guys are making me NOT want to leave Livejournal. ;;
So, in lieu of dropping it out of hand, I will try to crosspost things here if I do write them at DW. I've always appreciated your perspective on things. Your humorous thoughts often cheered me up and helped me take things less seriously. Maybe eventually I'll get my act together and crosspost something interesting again someday. ♥
Good luck, my dear. I can see you're pretty overwhelmed right now - but once your Life Choice is made I suspect everything will clear up quite quickly.
I'm sorry you're leaving LJ, but I completely understand your reasons for doing so. I'd love to hear how you are getting on any time you feel like cross-posting.
THANK YOU. Good luck to you, too. I've often thought about you over the past year and wondered how things were going. I hope you are enjoying life and the Baby Ett. I will try to crosspost things that I think might be of interest over here. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU FOREVER, ETT.
I would like it. I've missed you. And I hear you on all of this--I was wondering how you were doing, but figured you'd talk if you wanted to. I love how people think we'd teach high school, like that would be an improvement! Oh, yes, give me five times as many less mature students and their parents and start out teaching freshmen there, too!
I've thought for a long time about getting out, and now that my other degree is done, it seems like a good time. Not much out there, though, and with Nick out, I need whatever I earn. Of course, since I didn't finish the Ph.D., I have no right to expect dignity in my job. They tell me so from time to time. Until we're both to the other side of this, whatever it is, I hope you'll keep in touch.
I HAVE MISSED YOU TOO and I will definitely keep in touch. Facebook is not quite as good for this sort of mingling as LJ is. Unfortunately, I can't stand LJ anymore, but I am going to try to crosspost to here from Dreamwidth. Every time you post I have a moment of "Yes. This." It gives me a comforting sense of solidarity. You have such a clear way of seeing this strange Academic beast, so thanks for that many times over. ♥
Perhaps it is my persistent daily posting that is driving everyone else away. As the ratio of eve_prime posts to other posts grows larger, I bear an increasing share of the responsibility for keeping LJ worthwhile, and I am not doing my job very well. ;)
I miss hearing about you and Dan and the girls and strange Victorian books to read. I’m sorry that adjuncting isn’t more rewarding than it is. These are really hard times for careers in general, and the humanities are certainly on the front line.
I'm sorry you're leaving LJ. As much as I enjoy hearing about all your exploits on FB, LJ has always been a more honest, intimate platform. I'll miss your posts.
I'm so sorry about where you find yourself and I know telling you that you're a fantastic mother is probably scant comfort. But there you go.
