Joyce recently welcomed me back.  I don't think I've really been away,
but I've been lurking more and posting less.

I had to get a fourth job.  As of three days ago I've taken on Job
Number 4. I'm managing a stockroom for a shop at the mall.

This summer I got a teaching job, in addition to my previous newspaper
freelancing and the cartoon which doesn't pay much. It was pretty
regular in the summer, averaging out to 20 hours a week, and the pay
was pretty good. I expected it to become permanent part time in the
fall when the new classroom was equipped with computers. But I got a
third job at Dalhousie anyway, doing web page update stuff for ten
hours a week, to give me a 30 hour workweek and some spending money.

Then Career Essentials decided not to put in that classroom.

So now I'm doing stock on evenings and weekends, because it lets me
keep my days open to teach at CE when other staff are sick and to meet
with people at Dal about web pages. My days are pretty light right now,
but if CE actually puts in that classroom though, things are going to
get completely insane. I'll be doing the stock thing at least until
Christmas, perhaps longer.

Anyway, I'm still going to be posting and I offer purrs where required,
but  I won't have as much time to respond to things.
