Weird September

So, its like the last week of September... and man has it been an odd month. School started in August without me teaching. Got my hopes up twice with emergency fill positions... one three days before school started and one a week into school. The first one i was in great running for until the admin staff remembered that it was first year female teachers that normally do stupid things... like the one last spring that was sent to jail for running a brothel.

I've signed up to be a substitute in the local school. Isn't that just gonna be fun. It is a way for me to get some experience.... I am hoping to get at least one call a day so that I can get in the classroom at least four days a week.... They are paying 12.75 an hour or 91 dollars a day. Once my license is transferred into one that is for this state I am good to go... its worth a pay raise for subbing.... and it will help with getting a real placement.

For our 1 year anniversary HE bought me a puppy. I now have an adorable black and gray lhasa-poo named Ashes. He was a total of 6 pounds when we bought him. Last week or the week before we took him to the beach (the locals only sections where they don't mind dogs). Thinking that he was going to hate the water I brought a tie out so that if it was warm enough and HE and I took Tobbers (our five year old white lab) out to the sand bar Ashes wouldn't get into trouble. I was wrong... Ashes took to the water like a lab. He was swimming around and chasing the ball, he did try to catch a jelly fish once or twice.

Its been a month of job changes as well... I could not handle what was basically child abuse any longer. I left the Day care center.... sending a few anon messages to the license inspector (a friend of my moms). I started working at a collections agency doing litigation prep (read legal clerk for three lawyers). I don't plan on being there long. It is mostly grunt work. I don't really mind though... I slip one of my ear phones in and jam while I process incoming court notices and outgoing checks. HE doesn't like me working there... cause HE knows that i don't like talking to people over the phone that are more than likely going to be belligerent. It is different with the parents of my students... I'm not taking money from them... I'm trying to help their kid pass a subject in school.

I haven't had the time to write at all. Either my brain is racing trying to put things together or I've got so much other stuff going on that there is no time to sit in front of the computer and just type away for hours. Although I did start some major story flow edits on Major Trouble... Lace and I are trying to figure out if it is worth reposting or not.
