WE HAVE INTERWEBS.  INTERWEBS ARE A GO.

Now we just need a job and/or a life and we're all set.

I actually do have an "interview" tomorrow for the tutoring center.  I put it in quotation marks because I've basically been assured that, as long as I don't punch the interviewer in the face, I have the job, as I am massively overqualified.  It's basically the same job as the writing center, but at the undergrad pay rate.  This is what having a bachelor's degree, completing most of a master's degree, and teaching college for a year gets you, folks.  Yayyyyyy.  I just keep repeating to myself "It's better than folding shirts at The Gap.  It's better than folding shirts at The Gap."  And ANYTHING is better than the law firm, so... optimism.  Hurrah.

CLASSES START IN A WEEK.  THIS IS A GOOD THING, BRAIN.  BRAIN, WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING?

YAY! Usually my brain doesn't talk to me unless I'm trying to sleep.

Yeah, that's when my brain gets chattiest, too. Stupid brain.

Luck for the interview!

This is what having a bachelor's degree, completing most of a master's degree, and teaching college for a year gets you, folks.

Seriously though, that's basically identical to my education and I'm "working" as a freelance editor and living on toast and water right now. WHAT THE FUCK, EDUCATION SYSTEM.

WE WERE PROMISED THAT IF WE WORKED HARD THROUGH SCHOOL, WE WOULD GET GOOD JOBS. WHAT, I ASK YOU, THE FUCK?

And yet is it better than telling other people to fold shirts at the Gap? I'm not sure. Also, despite being the least practicing Jew, I just got a job teaching Sunday School on the side, mostly tutoring kids in basic Hebrew prayers. What even. Meanwhile, I also continue to tell people to fold shirts.

Oh HELLS yes, it's better to be the one telling other people to fold shirts! That's where all the glamor and prestige is!

As a Protestant, I have an entirely different notion of what "Sunday School" is, so I had to read that sentence about three times before it made sense to me. Ha.
