vanillafluffyI've gotten to the point where I need to check my resume---when did I start at the directory assistance job? February of this year. Easy entrance exam---they only wanted 20 wpm and a spelling test. And it wasn't without advantages---we were able to set our schedules ahead 3 months at a time. I happily worked...10-6 or 11-7, depending. None of this "Leap out of bed and dash to work" nonsense.
It was especially great on Fridays---I had a yard sale habit for a few years, and there were quite a few happy hunting grounds between my house and work. GK's oldest was still a baby; he was still portable enough that she could pack him into the car and we'd go yard sailing together. She and GKHub were living in a great house on the Island, and there were some tasty sales over there, too.
I was in a phase of sociability---I was a member of the local Kennel Club with S, who'd joined when she'd gotten Macs, her first schnauzer. One meeting a month for that, and the occasional event. I was into the SCA for a while---partly because I was hoping to connect with the GM previously mentioned, partly because it tied it with my earlier RenFest experiences. Another monthly meeting, a few more events. And, of course, LARPing and some tabletop play, which was usually good for at least one evening a week.
Again, it wasn't incredible, but it was pretty good compared to other years.
