ok… haven’t updated in a while. Partly due to the fact that memphis got steamrolled by a storm that knocked power out of over 325,000 ppls homes in two counties. My web server was in one of those houses. And while their l33t-ness allowed them to have floodlights coming out of their windows along with laptops and a fully functional T1, their l33tness simply didn’t have enough power to bring up all 2,472 computers in their house.
Meanwhile, I have discovered several things about myself, those around me, and the world in general that I find more than just slightly intriguing. For example:
-the true reason that men make pregnant women ice cream sundays at 2am…
-the exact reaction provoked when a woman walks into a nice restaurant wearing no top…
-never think that you know so much about old friends that you can assume certain things about them…
-curiosity is a curious thing…
there are a ton more, but I can’t find ways to word them so that they’ll be vague and thought provoking. I mean, just saying “my finances are screwed up” doesn’t have the same ring to it… maybe I could say something like “my fiances alone could prove the duality of the universe,” which is thought provoking, and somewhat vague… wait… I kinda like that… ok… add one more thing to the list of stuff I’ve learned lately:
-my finances alone could prove the duality of the universe…
If anyone knows of a good, cheap place to live in Po’dunk, please let me know.
So what would be the ups and downs of taking on a full time teaching position at State? I’ve been pondering this question today… In my 4 day quest to find a better paying job, I actually got a lead today… Had someone tell me he thinks I’d be good to fill a soon-to-be-announced position. It pays $34K/year, but it’s a full time job. Granted, it comes with all the benefits and priviledges of being staff at State, but it means I only get to take 2 classes a semester instead of the normal 4-5. Plus, it’s a 12 month appointment instead of 9, so they’d want me to work next summer. but it’s $34K/year as compared to the $5K a year I will get paid otherwise. just a slight difference.
anyway, y’all don’t want to hear me drone on about money and jobs and my life, right? well, too bad. You have to hear about my life, that’s why I write here… but I’ll try to stop talking about money….. right after I mention that I almost paid $4K for a 1967 mustang that was made out of paper maché, and I think I’m gonna have to sell my mustang no matter how I look at it. joy.
well, this post seems to be getting a little long… and I think I’ve rambled enough.
