Crouching Tiger, Hidden Meredith

    All right, night 3 of the training.  I was ready to debate!  But I stopped myself. They weren't going to listen, so why bother?  But I did bait them, like a tiger ready to pounce. In one of the STUPID group exercises I was called upon to explain my position. "As someone who does a lot of RESEARCH and writing, I did this because....," explained my part, and waited for their usual rant against those who do research. Dead silence.  I think they knew I was ready and weren't about to lose another argument! Later I got into it with someone - politely, for the most part - over the use of computer grammar check programs (DO NOT USE THESE!!!!). 


    Total boredom last night, and after a whole day yesterday of teaching and those 4 hours of nonsense, I am dead tired today. Hell, I was dead tired at the training.  That new friend of mine was actually concerned about me and almost insisted on my getting a cup of coffee before driving home. I assured him I'd be fine.



    Plus it's looking like another encyclopedia wants me to write for them.  I'll make that decision today, especially since there may be little or no pay, just publication credit.



    I'm trying to come up with a game plan to save everything. Thankfully work is starting to trickle in, and I'm looking for more. My two classes at my main school think I'm insane, which is why they're packed. I think it's going to be a good term!



    So I'm laying off my usual fretting over the financial problems in my life. There's a difference between fretting and action. I still don't have to house to myself, so who knows when I'll be able to dress up, except for underneath. it's driving me nuts!
