What a sweetheart ❤️

Ugh, that sucks. I wish I had some sort of advice to offer, but everything in this country is so fucked. Rooting for you.

I wouldn’t say that’s irrational at all.

It would be cool to be able buy merch with the option to donate the same merch (or cost of merch for other needs depending on request) to another person in the community.

I always hate when people are sad but… I told this guy straight off the bat that I’m in a monogamous relationship. Had some excellent conversations with him about socialism. He kept trying to kiss me. He’s a nice guy. He’s mostly sober but on a bender because he can’t deal with the world. Damn, do I get that. But fucking boundaries, man. I finally just up and left mid-conversation.

Thank you!

I officially got the job offer that had been in HR limbo for awhile, so that’s a huge relief! Less than a week until the big move. Trying to force myself to take a breather now and then between frantically getting things done.

Yeah, I get that. Often I like interacting at a slower pace, but sometimes I get in a more social mood, and that’s not really viable here at the moment.

That’s a shame about lemm.ee (I’m guessing that’s your former instance). Welcome!

Moving’s starting to feel real. Going to sign a lease tomorrow. Getting in as much time as I can with all the important people. Lots of “lasts” happening recently. There’s still a hold on hiring for general music positions, but that’s not even at the forefront of my mind at the moment.

I use Jerboa and it works just fine for me, but I honestly haven’t bothered to compare it with others. This is Beehaw, a lovely corner of Lemmy.

There is an amazing Pink Floyd cover band in Albuquerque called Pink Freud. I might have seen them for the last time tonight. I’m not sure what to do with that.

Probably the same ones that decided that teachers should parent their kids.

A bit of a mixed bag. I had posted awhile ago about a job I was supposed to hear back about on the 9th. Well the principal there submitted my name to HR, and they got back to him and told him that actually he can’t hire anyone from out of district yet, and they weren’t able to give him a definite answer to how much longer he needs to leave the job open for in district hires. So I applied for more jobs this past weekend, and I have another interview lined up for next week, but it’s frustrating because I already know that I like this school and they like me. Also I’m getting over being sick and it’s taking my voice forever to fully recover, so that’s annoying.

But the choir I’ve been singing with for years had our end of year party last night, and they gave me a really wonderful send off, so that was really nice. And I’m going to see Rilo Kiley tonight and am very much looking forward to that!

I’ll be there!

I might have a job lined up for next school year. The principal at one of the schools where I interviewed emailed me to let me know he thinks I’d be an excellent fit for their school, but he’s not allowed to offer jobs to anyone who doesn’t currently work for the school district until May 9th. I got a really good feeling about this school from the principal and the teachers on the interview committee, and if someone in-district doesn’t apply before the 9th, it looks like I’m in! But it sure is nerve wracking in the meantime.

I’ll be moving in June and am interviewing for jobs in the new location. Wish me luck!

Thank you!

I appreciate you all.

Belgium and the Netherlands this July!
