History Repeats Itself

I had a good interview and... I have a job!!!

This is totally an unexpected blessing, a pleasant surprise, an early Christmas present. I went into the interview with some really clear stipulations: I need to start next Tuesday, need to have flexible Mondays and Fridays so I can go teach my kiddies, and need to be able to leave early on Wednesday for the first half of the month for a class.

I didn't even need to open my mouth. Literally. The editor-in-chief managing editor said everything for me between the two of them: they expect me to work Tuesdays through Thursdays for the month of December, are totally fine with me leaving early on Wednesdays, and my first day is to be next Tuesday. I might even get a pay raise from my last time around, since the rates are higher during Christmas season.

I took that all as some sort of divine confirmation.

So I'm back where I was at the end of last semester: simultaneous papers-in-progress, and two part-time jobs. Only this time, I have 3 papers + a Web site to develop instead of just 2 papers, and on top of everything, there's a holiday rush I need to shop/write/mail items for. But it's all good :) I hope...

Thanks to all of you who gave me advice/thoughts. *hugs*

Note: This means that I will be at Address #1 (the New York one) for the entire December. Use Address #2 only if you want the mail to get to me in the first half of January.

You're good with graphics, can you "fest up" my default icon for me? XD

I realized that many people enjoy giving Santa hats to surly Professor Snape. I suppose the implausibility of it makes things just that much funnier ;)
