jianantonicThat's right. I'm listening to a Tracy Grammer song that can't be found on the first three Dave and Tracy albums. How's that? Because my preorder of Flower of Avalon came today! These are songs written by Dave Carter but never recorded before. So far I love it:)
Last night Jer and I had a long talk. I've just been so nervous about things in general lately, but mostly regarding employment. Basically, I just don't want to work among people who have no education and are racist, sexist, and homophobic. That pretty much describes 80% of my current coworkers. I think it's characteristic of the area, but I also don't want to leave the area. So basically, I'm frustrated, because it's going to be over a year before I can start teaching, and there aren't a lot of other prospects for me right now. I could go to the office of career services at BC. That's a thought. But mostly I'm thinking about real estate. Patti wrote back to answer my questions, but she warned me that it's hard to get started without some good connections. I mean, I think I'd do really well if I got clients, but apparently they don't just fall into your lap. The thing is, though, I know Patti was somehow randomly assigned to me. All I did was leave my contact info on the CB Funkhouser website, and she was the agent that called me. Anyway I'm trying to remain hopeful as I look into it, but I know that I'll have to go through some more classes before I get hired there. Sigh. We'll see...wish me luck...
I'm going to go ahead and make some phone calls, I guess.
Peace.

Good luck with your search, Meg!
