Thanks so much! I'm a little nervous about not getting enough reads to stay in the competition long enough to get noticed with all these competitors! I'm gonna give it my all though! Cuz that's just what I do.

Is it as frosty in Indiana today as it is here in Massachusetts? Brrrrr!

Yes it was quite chilly and rainy! it started pouring down rain right as i needed to leave to catch the bus. Had to juggle cane, umbrella and coffee. Not easy with only two hands!!

It's not rainy here but sure is chilly!

Yeah the rain made waiting for the bus to work in the already windy chilly air even chillier! Those of you who have three day weekends are so lucky!

Hi there! It is nice to meet you! Your job sounds really fascinating. Good luck with the competition.

Great intro! I forgot you worked in DSS and were a Rehab person. Best of luck in the competition...and keep posting, pls! You're a very entertaining writer! (Hi to Miss Fossey, too!)

Even on the "bad days" i love DSS!

Quite interesting. I sometimes think I'll end up going the way you have...just keep collecting degrees and whatnot, and form my own little niche.

There really is something to be said for creating options for yourself. I had a job four months after graduation with only one paid part time job and some volunteer stuff as work experience prior to that. I worked to create myself as indispensable and to fil a niche.
