Holiday hours

    Yuck.  Starting this weekend the museum is going on the holiday hours. Yuck.  But at least for now it's just the weekends.  The extra pay is nice, but, yuck.  By the way, did I say yuck?  We won't go on full weeks of extended hours for a few weeks yet.

    I have put in for a couple of higher positions at the museum.  One is a temporary spot, which means when it is over I merely revert back to my current position.  The other is permanent, working in developing educational programs, and most likely will not require me to work any weekends with the exception of an occasional workshop on a Saturday.  We'll see.

    I'm also getting out applications for teaching spots.  I am not applying for as many as I usually do.  I'm being more selective. 

    So, for now, me and Josie are putting making definite plans on hold until we see what will happen over the next few months.  If I get one of these spots locally it will make more sense for me to stay here for now.  If not, I might very well be making Denver my home by next summer.

    I already spoke to my ex about this.  She said while Obama's election may mean better opportunities in the Chicago area, she is considering a move out east, should a good position come open.  We both want to do what is right for our kid, who is at the top of her 5th grade class!

    As for my kid, she turned 11 last weekend.  A pre-teen.  Oh, dear.

    Otherwise, now I am waiting to hear from the managing editor of the book about any changes that may need to be done so we can move this into production.  One of the other editors there said they would like to work with me again.  Now I am thinking of new projects to propose!
