Ups and downs;
Down - unemployment ran out last week.
Up - the online course starts in a week.
Down - I fell on the ice Friday.
Up - it happened on school property, workman's comp is taking care of it.
Down - after getting home too go to my local emergency room, I get a call from HR - I have to use the ER over near the school, 40 miles away.
Up - it's a tiny hospital, I'm in and out in about an hour and a half.
Down - x-rays show a possible compression fracture in the lower spine, which explains the excruciating pain whenever I bend.
Up - on the same day I was contacted by an online educational site that's looking for a mathematician to check their content. Contract through November for about $40,000.
Down - OK, can't think of one for that! Except I don't have the job
yet, I still have to speak with their math director...
Up - me in a hospital gown...
