I'm Baaaack!

I know I've been M.I.A. for a while, but I'm back now (sort of).  So where have I been?  In career hell.  Seriously, career hell.  This writer gig is great and all, but it don't pay the bills!  So I've been looking for a job.  I've been interviewing for jobs.  I've been bitter and angry because despite numerous college degrees and all kinds of work experience I don't seem to have any choice in my future career.  I need to pay the bills therefore I need a job and as the saying goes 'beggars can't be choosers.' 

I've also been substitute teaching which has to be the absolute worst job in the universe.  It is so bad, in fact, that I am seriously considering going back to waiting tables until I can find something more appropriate.  I have never in my life encountered so many disrespectful children or apathetic adults as I have subbing.  It is awful.  Teachers are saints and they should be paid a million dollars of years to put up with the crap I've had to put up with subbing.

I have at least two career positions that appear promising (meaning it looks like I could get one of these jobs, though neither is something I wish to do forever).  Considering our financial situation is rocky at best (and as I've said before--beggars can't be choosers), I really hope I get one of these jobs.  I could certainly use the moo-la.

I've also decided that I want to go here:

^ That's Bar Harbor, Maine.  It's beautiful.  It's serene.  I think I want to live there.  Can I just move to Bar Harbor?  What's that?  It costs a butt load to live there?  Why yes, it does.  Oh well--guess I can't live there.  Maybe I can visit though.  You can see more pretty pictures of the area if you click here.
