After recovering from Gencon the Spouse of Proteinstar and myself fell into a bit of a morass. All our vacationing and Genconing were really just elaborate attempts to mask the fact that I, Proteinstar, was still without a job, and that it looked as if the Spouse would be working again. This time with our 3rd broodling due in Feb. To say the least, the week was grim, to say the most, it was absolute hell. Up until Wednesday the 16th of August. I received a message from a local High school principal offering me a teaching job in their Science dept. Praise God!
I've since taken the job and gone through several days worth of traning and such.
So we have begun a new facet of my life, that of the teacher and educator.
And so let me leave you with this excerpt from a fantastic little book:
"Each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are."
-The Farthest Shore
Ursula K. Le Guin
So my advice to us all is carefully choose the acts you make, or you may wind up frozen in a place and time that is not to your liking and your acts will have left you with no other.

Following the "Girls In Chainmail" post with this one has got to go down as some of the most bipolar blogging I've ever seen. Congrats on the job.
Congrats. I am very happy for you. I should probably email y'all at some point. What SD
Love y'all
There's nothing I love more than a new post to read. . .

Seriously, I am going to rip your nipple off if I don't get a new post! Can we somehow contact blogger and delete other people's blogs? Hello? Hello? Apparently everyone else has given up already.
That's it. I gave you a chance. The next time I am at your house I am going to urinate on something.
