Holy crap! That was quick! So, remember last entry when I talked about being anxious to start teaching and I didn't know if I was going to find a job for the school year? Well, I subbed for a few days, which was cool, and then SUDDENLY... I have a full time job teaching Language Arts in a high school. Now, mind you, I have yet to teach/student ( Read more... )

Career, career, career. I've never had one of those, but hope to have one very soon so I can work on getting better ( Read more... )

I'm not sure where I should post my thoughts now that I have Facebook, Twitter, and DA. I had a Xanga and a Blogger at one point, but alas... bleh. I think most of my super personal/don't want work to read entries are most appropriate here. Limited people pay attention and I can just throw down with whatever. It's actually kind of cool... it's a " ( Read more... )

Well, I'm currently in the process of transitioning towards a new job. I will be an insurance agent for First Rate Insurance starting this summer provided I pass the licensing exam for "PROPERTY AND CASUALTYYYYYY" I'm excited, but unfortunately in order to pass the exam (or even be eligible to take said exam) I have to go through this 4 day class ( Read more... )

Passed that fucker. Passed that fucker like a champ with a 285/300. I did maybe one night of studying for it too... just had to brush up on my poetry terminology. I don't know, I was really nervous about it because I thought the WEST-E would be so much harder than the WEST-B, but I actually found it way easier ( Read more... )

Incredible. Seriously, I'm still making money (more than enough to pay my bills) and now that I'm not commuting and working 10-12 hour days in Seattle behind a cash register, I have had time to learn new instruments (basoooooon holy shit) draw, write, read, and improve my quality of life. It feels good. Hell, I even have time to volunteer for a few ( Read more... )

So, it's what, midnight? A week ago, one of my best friends was on his way out to Forks. Maybe he was practicing with the first two shots, making sure everything worked correctly. The third and final shot did it. Don't worry man, I think I understand now ( Read more... )

I really want to just demolish this account... because I spelled macadamia wrong. For a while, it didn't bother me, I thought it was really quirky, but the more and more I have to look at it, the more ignorant I feel. Ugh ( Read more... )

Okay, so, I was thinking about it this morning and I realized that my goal in life is to be Clint Boren. Family friend and whatnot. He lives a happy life as an insurance broker and single parent of a smart and well-mannered boy. Goes to Mariner's games, takes his son to Wild Waves throughout the summer, enjoys Star Wars with his kid... etc. He's ( Read more... )

Okay, so Capital Hill's a no go, but we'll hopefully find something soon. But gosh, we were terribly close... I really don't want my bosses to get overly frustrated and fire our broker. Yikes ( Read more... )
