Back but for a different reason

On Monday, D13 asked me for a quick update on job stuff. I tried to keep it brief. She said, "Don't be mad, but I don't want you to get a job. I want you to sub again."

Both of my daughters would rather me sub at their schools than work. I get it and it makes me want to root for the communications business to take off.

Interestingly busy week this week. I began umpiring in the summer for "extra" money five years ago. And right now, it's my main source of income. I'm going to umpire 22 games between June 20 and June 30. I keep picking up more. That gave me a sense of peace last night. That plus the little bit of communications money coming in assures that I'll be fine until school starts -- and then I at least can sub again.

Tuesday, I had my Post Office interview to be a rural carrier associate -- a sub on rural postal routes. There were five of us, four really young people and me. My test scores were highest. So we'll see. This is totally a thing to do while waiting for other things to come to fruition. You start out working every Saturady and one other day a week.

Late Tuesday, I got a call back from another organization where I'm a real longshot. I knew my resume wasn't that strong for the position, but there were projects I've done that I thought made me a stronger candidate. So I emailed the CEO directly.

That got me a phone call to talk more about the position. That phone call got me an interview next week on Tuesday.

So things keep happening.
