Job Search

I've been combing the job search sites. I'm looking for something in the "Lady Of Leisure" field. Or perhaps I would do well as a "Pampered Princess." I think I'd really shine in these endeavors.

I returned to work today after my holiday school vacation. It wasn't a bad day, by any stretch of the imagination. I had one staff person absent, but I knew that was happening. He'll be out tomorrow, too. My staff and I have an open policy with regard to planned absences. We're honest about the whole thing. If you need to take a couple extra days to get back from Mom's house out of state, take it. It is really so much easier than keeping track of the lies, I find. But, the sub. was a good one and the kidlets were pretty well-behaved so I really can't complain.

Except that I don't think I'm well-placed, career-wise.

I often hear about retirees becoming listless and bored after leaving the workplace. I just can't see that happening to me. I'm really quite good at not going to work. Sure, there were a couple of idle moments where I felt a little of the boredom sneaking in. But I took a nap. And when I woke up, I was over it. I watched TV. Did some knitting. Played with the cats. It was all good. Of course, I somehow managed to eat a metric ton of chocolate gooey things and that could be something of a problem should there be a fire and I need to leave the house without removing a wall. Otherwise, I think this could a good line of work for me. It doesn't seem to pay all that well...but I'm pretty sure I can get a grant or something. I'll let you know how it all goes.

Meanwhile, you have no idea how much I'd like to show you a finished sock. I started a whole blog just so I could show people my mediocre knits. I even bought a camera. I'm proud of my new sock. It is bright and colorful. It fits. It has a mate that is all of four inches in length and I'd probably want to show you that as well.

But Blogger hates me. Or my pictures. Or both. I still can't upload. I'm too tired to go to the trouble of uploading to Flickr after I've already started a post. And it seems that this problem is mine and mine alone. I see other people with pictures. Blogger likes them. They get picture privileges.

I do not. I have somehow offended Blogger and now you don't get to see my sock.

When I am a Lady Of Leisure, I am going to buy Blogger. Then I will make sure that everyone can post pictures. This is my vow to you.
