Ah yes, a new update.

So, last week was really hard and distressing, because I gave notice of quitting my nannying job on Tuesday (yes, there were many tears-- actually for several days-- but not straight teariness the whole time. It was hard, but I did it. I also gave notice at Minneapolis of my quitting, which was not quite as emotional, but also sad, as I love the job and feel as if I was cutting off my future as an eco-educator or something.

Then Saturday came around, and I worked a hella-hot day down at Mill Ruins digging with the public and generally experiencing various degrees of heat exhaustion... did I mention I was also hungover?? So, Saturday, on my drive home, I see that I have some cell phone messages. One of them was from the Arts High School-- oh "no need to give notice at your nannying job" because we are esentially going to screw you out of a job that we said you could have... yes, I was confused. It still isn't figured out.

Meanwhile, I have put in applications to work as an Americorps Volunteer with a terrific project, Project SUCCESS which works with Minneapolis public schools and the Guthrie. I also just got an email from my old boss at Fish and Wildlife-- he's still working on getting me a job too.

That's all hunky dorey, because I'm moving in less than two weeks, and I will be unemployed in two-and-a-half.

Sweet. I love life. Sometimes it's just so goddamned exciting, eh?
