the county has moved at last and they are all set now to sign me up to begin the art teaching job---on March 6!  that’s three weeks away!  i don’t know how I’m going to do this, i’ll have to stop at NOLA until March 5, at least in order to avoid losing money, and try to get some temp work or something to make some more. NOLA is great, but it just doesn’t pay enough to drop unemployment for it and, until I can begin the teaching, there’s no sense in working there.  I hope they want me back three weeks from now, they’ll be mad.  sigh.  three more weeks!  that’s nearly 2 months since I got the job, this is really ridiculous.

oh well, I’ll just have to use the itme, I suppose.  somehow.
