    Talking

    Most of you know I have been job hunting for the past year. In the meantime I have done unemployment, temporary agencies, part time jobs, etc.

    Next week I start a new full time position. I will be doing office work (secretarial work) with the potential of some web site work, PC support, etc. I'm looking forward to it because the company is small, supportive, flexible, and casual.

    Unfortunately, a few days before the job was offered I also accepted a one month teaching position three nights a week. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem. I could handle teaching while starting a new job. Except....I was asked to fill in as the teacher of Intro to Finance. What I know about Finance, monetary systems, assets, investments, macro finance, business, and personal finance is pretty much limited to my checkbook and a tour of the U.S. Mint a couple summers ago. So I've been cramming!!!

    Anyway, all this means for the next month, between a new job, an unfamiliar class, and the holidays, I won't be in much, but I'll try to pop by at least once a week. It is good to see you folks again.

    Good luck Jandy, I know how tough it is to prep a new class that is not 100% in your field.

    Unhappy

    Thanks, all. Boy, is it not my field! Thank goodness the new full time job is going well, because teaching Finance is going very poorly. Only three more weeks - I can do this!!!!!
