Two things happened. A month ago, a friend got a job at a small marketing firm in Durham. About a week later, an acquaintance who was thinking about adopting ‘Nita left me a voicemail. In it, he said, “You’re doing a great job marketing her on Facebook.”<\/p>\n
Something happened in my head, something like: marketing job –> me marketing –> marketing job for me<\/p>\n
I’ve been wanting to make a career change for a while now. My desire was shorn up by reading this essay<\/a> a student wrote three years ago<\/strong>. Wow. I’m not that teacher anymore. I’m not “happy almost all the time”. I don’t “laugh a LOT”. I’m definitely not the “BEST TEACHER EVER”. I’m glad I used to be, or at least that I was for that kid, that year.<\/p>\n But I’m burnt out. (I hear that’s a thing that happens to teachers.)<\/p>\n So now I’m looking for a new job\/career. Possibly in marketing. And it’s going to inspire me and challenge me and play to my strengths. I hereby decree it, and the Universe will make it so.<\/p>\n **********<\/p>\n Two years ago<\/strong>, I asked you Avid Bruxistists about the ratio and content of similarities\/differences in a partnership<\/a>, and you guys totally fucking brought it in the comments section.<\/p>\n My readership is small, but it is full of smarty-pants. Smarty-pantses? What the plural of smarty-pants? Is it like attorneys general? Smarties-pant?<\/p>\n **********<\/p>\n A year ago<\/strong>, I was struggling<\/a>. Seems to be a pattern here—late winter suuuuuuuucks. However, I am tapering my amino acids again, and I’m not freaking out. Yet. Plus, Daylight Savings Time loves me and wants me to be happy.<\/p>\n Happy Retrobruxist Friday, y’all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two things happened.
