D'awwww...
OK, I mentioned somewhere else that I've lost some weight recently. I think most of it's because I've been moved to evenings at the beer barn, which means I get to restock the cooler for the next day. We only sell cases, so I'm trowing around 40 - 50 cases of beer every night. [manly grunt].
I've also been hired at Macy's as a seasonal employee, dual position, receiving and merchandising. We'll see what happens. If you're good, they keep you on. Not quite minimum wage, but pretty close.
I think I've mentioned that my parents are willing to help support me (us) if I go back to school for something more marketable. Which is stupid, I could get a teaching job if I could just move, but ... I can't really move right now. Don't ask, I really just can't. It's complicated and involves love and trauma. Is IT really as hot a field as it sounds?
Or maybe a master's in instructional tech - something I'm already pretty familiar with, could keep me in education in a role I usually filled with my colleagues anyway...
Trying to find a way to pay off the IRS now, too. :-P
Welu:
I shared this on Facebook, I'm trying to be open about mental health stuff since it's really affecting me right now, and Tumblr already, so some of you probably saw this but for those that have not seen it.
After 8ish months (plus years of personal research) of assessments with two doodlies, the conclusion is I very likely am not on the autism spectrum.
I have some social difficulties, which are usually exasperated by recurrent low mood. They recommend continuing to try to understand my mood issues and more importantly doing what I can improve it, especially by reaching out to friends, family and medical professionals.
I think having an answer, even an incomplete one, will help me go on in relevant and constructive ways.
Tonight though I’m gonna eat some ice cream and play video games.
Carl-E:
Both guaranteed mood-raisers, moreso with friends.
Wait, isn't moreso a word? OK, OK, more so.

You've mentioned in the past that they won't let a man with a PhD in mathematics and years of experience, teach maths in schools without a Dip. Ed. (or whatever they call it there; a teaching credential anyway). I know it is a bit like hiring an F1 driver for a driving school, but is that an option? The school system here is always hurting for maths teachers.

We're celebrating this kid's fourth birthday today.
Wasn't he a lovely baby?
