That's awesome news, Zen.

So these 20 hour weeks, are they going to be 4 hours each day, or can you arrange your schedule to get 4 day weekends? Work Monday, Tuesday, and every other Wednesday. That would be quite the life. Good job, pays the bills, long weekends.

The State Supreme Court of Washington has ruled that the laws we've had on our books for the past twenty years requiring a two-thirds majority for tax increases is clearly unconstitutional.

Halefuckinglujah!

Well, looks like six hours Monday, Thursday and Friday, two on Tuesdays. So, not *ideal*. Whatever.

Ohhh so Saturday and Sunday off, The remainder of Tuesday for errands/groceries/etc since you are already up, dressed and out of the house, and Wed is a free day... sounds pretty ideal to me

Roster changes ... 3 hours Weds, 6 Thurs, 6 Fri ... 4 day weekend.

I'm planning on getting a small business going doing freelance writing/editing in the spare time.

I've heard of that before, and while the title "Shadow Scholar" is kind of cool, I am burdened with a sense of right and wrong which is stronger than my current sense of financial responsibility.

So, I'll be helping struggling students to earn their better grades.

Morals are for the shallow and weak. I'm pretty sure that was either the fifth noble truth or the 17th precept.

Besides what will you do on your days off, get fucked off a bucket bong and walk around in trucker's thongs?

Well, mercy is for the weak, so I guess morals are for the shallow. Swim between the flags, I say. If you're going to sin, at least be original.

Wild West Showdown. It was great fun and we saw a TON of roller derby.

Pretty sure I said this before. But I'd love to go to a Roller Derby.
And especially be dominated by the girls who skate them. Then again, most of the audience probably have that wish too.

y'know....

It's not the same as being there, but the WFTDA has a live broadcast stream, as well as an archive page. The top results when I last loaded the page featured bouts with the Leeds Roller Dolls and the London RollerGirls vs the Central City Rollergirls and the Helsinki RollerDerby, respectively. There might be a bout near you, but there almost certainly is a way to view one near you.

Check it out!

I mailed in my resignation form today. My job title is now simply: mother, wife, homemaker.

It. Feels. Awesome.
