When I became a teacher, I thought I had ditched corporate life for a higher goal and more rewarding work experience. What I found instead was that a school can be and feel just as corporate as any office. When I left teaching, I thought self-employment may be the answer, but from what I can gather, you need actual customers. They didn't really surface after I dredged many lakes. So I thought maybe the gutter was the only option left. I took some time to find the best ratty trenchcoat and cardboard home, bought a bottle of vodka in a brown paper bag, and set out staking my spot. As it turns out, I was wrong about that, too. You need permits and stuff. Who knew? So I went back to the classifieds, and found it wasn't so difficult as it seems if you just set your sights low.

That's right, after only twelve days of searching, I found a job. I didn't even have to call any offices, businesses or corporations. I didn't even get desperate enough to call a temp agency.

It may not seem like much, but it's actually going to pay the bills and leave me with enough time to pursue all these other side projects (see the rest of the website, otherwise known as "excuses to go out late at night") I've amassed during my vast unemployment. That and I'm seriously considering going to dog grooming school. Yes, they have a school for that. I was a bit surprised too.

Wow, this post is awful long just to say "I have a job again."

listening to: 75 minutes.
in my sink: a bunch of dishes and stuff.
