There were good things today. Really.

*sigh* At least the day is over. Looks like I'm going on probation Tues. Many bad things happened. But good things happened too, and I'm going to focus on them for a moment, thankyouverymuch.

1. The academic dean put in a request to hire me as the freshman English teacher.

2. The moon is full tonight. That means I'm going for a walk in my orchard around 1 am. No flashlight needed. Just me, the weirdly blue trees, and the coyotes.

3. When I bought beer today, I got carded. *loffs checker*

4. I have the most encouraging flist in the world. *hoards* *keeps forever*

5. I got belated birthday money in the mail.

6. Butler and I had ourselves a thorough cuddle when I got home. He's pervy. I won't need to exfoliate for days.

That's some pretty cool stuff.

*happy*

GOOD LUCK getting the teaching position!!! I so hope you get it. Fingers and toes are all crossed for you!!!

I'm sorry about your bad day, though. Poor Rae. ::hugs:: I wish there was something I could do to help.

Ooooh, you're lucky. Walking in an orchard at night. Is the moon beautiful? We have overcast and I can't see.

Have a good walk.

Good thoughts for you and your new possibility!!!

Those are some very good things. You should definitely keep focusing on them! :)

OMG GOOD LUCK!

Jealous of orchard AND coyotes!

I was about to type *ugh* in regard to the probation when I read the 1st good thing. That's very, very cool! Enjoy your walk!

*sends massive academic good vibes for the teaching job*

Oooh, I so hope that comes through. Your love of the written word might activate the overly hormonal brains of the freshmen :)

Enjoy your moonlight and your walk in the early hours of the morning and the coyotes. It sounds lovely.

*loffs Rae*

Chin up, Rae! We're rooting for you!

Butler would like to lick you, if that's ok.

O.O

Good-luck! I hope you get that position teaching English. Walking under a full moon in an orchard? No wonder you're a writer.

I'm sorry for all the bad stuff--I know how draining that BS can be. But that is some really good stuff, especially Butler and the blue trees and the teaching position. Much good luck on that! And in the end, you're a good person with a rich inner life which puts you ahead of the game, especially the games those idiots at work play.

Thx, Pam.

...with a rich inner life...

Yanno, I'm kinda surprised at how not-upset I am. Maybe this is why. Writing is wonderful that way. It gives us something outside of the daily grind to immerse ourselves in.

[pjthompson]

Yep--it's certainly gotten me through many a grind and disappointment.

He'll have to stand in line behind Morgan. *g*
