First off, I absolutely LOVE this song. I've just bought up a bunch of Metisse, largely because of this song, and most of it is phenomenal.

My whinge is over, passing as all such things do. Thanks, you guys. I pulled out of it partly because of you and my at-home fan club, and partly because I set out to do stuff for other people. Because I can always do that, eh? I'm good at the whole 'people' thing, oddly enough. I'm best at getting my hands dirty and doing stuff, really. Especially stuff that doesn't require small talk.

Oh! And GC has a new contributor, Peta Anderson of Insert Literary Blog Name Here. I'm so excited to have her, even though she'll only be able to contribute occasionally. I totally grok that her paying gigs need to come first, and I'm really just pleased to have her on board.
I feel so blessed by GeekaChicas, even right now when we're in the end-of-school, beginning-of-summer doldrums. All the women who contribute and support GC are amazing, talented and awesome, and more keep coming!
It's inspiring, mostly because I want to show the world how awesome these people are. I think that makes me a better webmistress, this feeling of awe I get when I think of the ladies willing to post work to GC.

An old business contact of Ron's called him up and offered me a possible job, in a roundabout sort of way. They've been operating a virtual school in Georgia (and Alabama?), and they want to expand into the Louisiana market. They knew I'd been home schooling and that I had an appropriate degree to be a school administrator (news to me).
So there's just the tiniest chance that I may be able to do paperwork for a virtual school, get paid for it and get William's education set up for next year in one swell foop. I'm not holding my breath, but it was nice to have someone just talking about employing me at a time when I was feeling pretty useless. So.

Oh, and one of the folks doing the New Orleans Writing Circle sent me a message through Meetup (asking about the GC site, which I mention in Meetup profile) and we started chatting. So, now I don't feel so intimidated by the idea of showing up at some stranger's house on Sunday. It helps knowing there will be at least one other geek there, ya know?

Life is full of uncertainty, but it's still good.
