A short and long overdue update. I found a job!!! It's at a university here and it's been okay so far.

I hope I win over the grumps but if not, I guess it's okay. It's not a job or place I plan on staying for too long. : )
How's you?

That sounds like a bad cycle to get caught up in. Almost as bad as being a teacher in an urban-capital-area school district that we all know and love.

In fact, if they haven't already noticed this, I would tell them: "Listen, I've got a winning smile, charming personality and I'm really funny... so like me already!".
I'm okay April. How hot is it there today? We're supposed to see 95 here, but the humidity isn't too bad, so it doesn't feel awful yet (as I sit here with an ice pack on my lap and three fans blowing on me).
