Back to LA?!?!? Yikes. I hope it doesn’t come to that.

But let me know if you make the move. I’ll bring you coffee and cookies to help with the unpacking!

@Dorothy,
As saavy as I am about social media and stuff, it never occurred to me that the online “teaching” was done out of house, so to speak. I’ll look into it, Do, and thanks.

@byjane,

Oh, excellent. Hey, have you considered teaching full-online? I can’t really recommend it, because I think it is a horrific travesty of education, but it is convenient, and you are mighty savvy with the tech stuff. I applied to U of Phoenix, who turned me turned me down flat (their pay is so so so bad, it’s really excrutiatingly awful), so I wouldn’t bother with those assholes, but most schools now have online programs and thus need adjuncts willing to do the full online thang. I have a friend who “teaches” for Kaplan…I use the “” because they aren’t even called teachers; they are called “facilitators,” and the whole thing is a scam-sham, but it may be worth a look.

@Joanna Jenkins,

It’s looking more and more like I’ll have to move back to LA. Oh, god, the packing….the unpacking….woe is me.

@Walker,
There has to be a better way!

A makeup hussy! I learned something new about you Jane. And it really is the Clinique’s loss. I only approach make-up counters with staff old enough to know who the Beatles were– and that is not easy to do.

My sister has been looking for a healthcare job for 18 months and has sent out literally 100+ resumes and had dozens of really great interviews. She’s over qualified too. And rarely gets the courtesy of the xeroxed “thanks but no thanks” letter. Grrrrr. That’s just wrong.

Hope things pick up for you Jane.

PS Midlife Bloggers finally updated on my sidebar again! Yeah.

Ah yes, the job situation. What a crap shoot that is! I’ve decided to give it up and try and make my way selling my words. The skinny, pimply guys are underbidding me there as well. Oh Well!

@Barbara,
I wear it for me too. Sometimes before I go to bed at night–when I’m brushing my teeth, actually–I get the idea to try something new. So I’ll make up one eye, decide if I like it–and then get in the shower and wash my face. It’s just fun, the makeup thing. And if it’s not, don’t do it.
