Where Are You?

That is a very good question. Many of you have sent messages asking why I am not sitting in front of my computer writing prose for your enjoyment. If you do not know it already the PDX-antics/sinisterhaley has a new/old house to get ready to move into. I have had appointments with closet organizers. Recall that the house was built in 1906 and those damn closets are tiny! As I was waiting for yet another closet organizer - I noticed there is not even a place to hide the broom or vacuum without wasting valuable clothes closet space-huh? yet another quandary.
For those of you wondering where the hell I have been and why I haven't any F*%$@!^ pictures for you here is my list:
Appointments:
California Closets (cancelled on me)
Portland Closet company (cancelled on me)
Closet factory (only one that showed up but price is outrageous-had to have two appointments one for measurements and one for disclosure of costs)
Flooring installer (appointment was at 8:00 am - he did not show up until 9:00 am)
Electrician (thought I was smart making the appointment for the same day and time as the flooring installer but of course the electrician never showed)

Jobs:
Painting
We chose quite a few colors.
Living room- we are painting all of the walls one color, we have an accent wall in red (most of you know that red is not a fun color to work with), and then we have the trim.
Bedroom 1: We decided that the wall color was what we would have chosen. We are doing and accent wall in a bright bluegreen and then the trim.
Bedroom 2: Haven't figured it out yet!
Kitchen: Haven't figured it out yet!
To be able to move on with the painting I need a ladder. The 10 ft ceilings are too high for me - I can't reach the top with a step stool. I almost fell and killed myself yesterday and no one would have found me for hours!

I have also been looking for boxes for the move and I cleaned the yard and checked the drip sprinkler system this week.

OKAY - that was all house duties! Now believe it or not I am also in the process of trying to find a way to help pay for HoY!
By the end of this week I will have enrolled in four districts as a SUB! I have not received a job yet! With each district application you must go in for an "orientation". This means you take in your documents to the district, they make copies to make sure you are not a pedophile and then explain the do's and don'ts of subbing and tell you to sit by the phone and wait for a call.
On top of the sub applications I realized that my application file on a site called EdZapp has not been complete. I don't even know how to explain this situation other than the fact that many districts use this site to search for applicants. I have to pay a fee for the service and I just found out that I need to have many documents like my transcripts and letters of recommendation uploaded to this site. My application is INCOMPLETO without this uploading process. I think it is time to move into the private sector.
Oh yeah, I forgot - I have applied for a few part-time jobs also to no avail!
INCOMPLETO - This will be the title of my memoir!

check with the GoS for closet suggestions. the HoS is equally bereft of closet space and she worked some modular magic.

as to the job.. fuck it. let sugar daddy take car of biz, you can play with the house and take come classes or something. when they call you to sub, they call. eventually, you'll land a full time gig and be wondering what you did with all that free time.

i'm jealous.
