rose: well, it was announced today that i'm hired at next! i like that that's how i found out that i have a part-time job :p i'll be working 15 hours a week (5 hours over 3 days). which pairs nicely with my before and after school gig. i've really enjoyed volunteering at next. i've been doing one day a week since january. it meets a need/desire in my life, for concrete, hands-on work, with immediate sense of completion. parenting doesn't offer that kind of satisfaction (although, different kind). i feel like being in there more days will help me do more than scratch the surface. currently, i take otis along, but in september i'll have him in some kind of childcare situation (i have one good lead already).
thorn: yesterday i accidentally reset our router instead of the modem. i have never had a laptop, and therefore never had to set up wifi before. it was frustrating and stressful, partly because i was trying to fix it for others who do need it/depend on wireless, rather than an ethernet cable. it was also annoying, when i called the support line, and they tried to get me to pay for their services. i'm not paying for something i can figure out myself. thankfully, in the end, i did prevail.
