HOLY CARP!!!

Well, better at any rate. I figured after my icky message on Thursday whining about the world in general, I should post a more positive one now that I'm in a better place. Work (the whole reason for my ickiness last week) is still looking just as icky. In short, I'm likely going to be forced to change schools. Not because my administration wants me to go (quite the contrary), not because there isn't a job for me (there are going to be two openings) but because of "process". Sigh. Cross your fingers that my principal succeeds in pulling lots of strings to keep me there (or that my school is so undesirable that no permanent teacher wants the available positions - a distinct possibility). However, (I said I'd be positive, afterall), in all other respects, things are pretty damn good. Mister Soak and I have managed to see each other every other weekend since late January, and have plans for the weekend after next. Hurrah! For a relationship that spans two countries and 1000km, with the complication of jobs, a kid each, and limited finances, that's pretty amazing. I can't wait for the day when we don't have to plan our time together in 40 hour blocks, but in the meantime, it's pretty wonderful. Over the next three months, I expect to get shaken up a few times by situations on both the job and the relationship/immigration fronts, but right now all is right with the world. [this concludes my sappy post of the evening] |

I'm happy to hear it, Dol. You 'sound' relaxed. That's great. I hope the school thing works out well in the end. |

A positive outlook is 90% of the battle, Dol.
