Going into new water...

Posted 03-06-2008 at 09:01 AM by knittingknerd

I'm looking at changing professions, like going a complete 180'. I was a preschool teacher. Problem is universal preschol is coming. It's inevitable. Which translates to preschool teachers being required to get their BAs or more, with little to no change in pay or benefits but a whole lot of more paperwork and such. If I'm gonna' get a BA (which I am shy of by like 18 units) I'm going to get it in something useful. As a kid I wanted to teach. But now with all the new budget cuts...I'm at a crossroads....

I've always wanted to make a quilt... Just been something I've always wanted to do and in those 101 things to do you die lists, making a quilt is always one of those. Craftster.org had a challenge to make something that represents your town. I quilted.

I am sorry, but in 2008 why is it that wind causes power to go out? We have 18" of snow and suddenly a little bit of wind and the power goes out? Wait I thought we were getting jet packs and flying cars... Instead a little bit of wind causes a power outage.

Power went out here for the 2nd time in the last few days. I am over it. It's freakin' cold here and that's when the power goes out.

Sometimes I wonder how backwoods the area I live in is.

I hit black ice today

Posted 12-11-2007 at 02:28 PM by knittingknerd

So I was supposed to pick up my parents from the airport today. I shoveled my driveway, salted it, whole nine yards. My plan was I was going to loop around the block and then take the main highway out (not the short cut through 3 streets and then hit the main highway. The short cut gets icy.) I was going to loop around my block because I couldn't figure out how to get my car out of the driveway and then turn it 180. I saw ice I was good. Then there was a little hilly area and it was shaded and...

I am giving my notice at work today. Do I write it out or...? Basically I am going to say "I can't work when the weather is bad" And after this weekend... the Rim is super scary. I am not going to do that when I don't like my job, don't like the director, and I am not getting paid enough. So there's a storm that comes Friday....

Editted add: I quit. After DRAMA (the parents up here are odd) it was decided today was my last day. I didn't even work it. I just left after I got...
