Well, tomorrow is my school district's job fair and I did not get an invite. For the 2nd year in a row. I don't know if this on purpose or its is a sign for me, but all in all its the time for me to prepare for the job fairs that are to come. I am in interesting position in the fact that I have a job for the fall as a bookroom clerk for our new high school. However, after actually got to teach school last summer and i can't let it go. I will find a job as a teacher, even if it kills me.
On my other fronts, me and my buddy, Taurentom, made some changes to our demo for the radio show we are trying to do. Its a show to help wow players better learn how this game works. I think it can work, but I have to prove it to the staff of the station that the two of us can do it and be interesting. I don't want to give up on the project, I think we got a shoot at it, just have to keep at it.
We finish doing state testing today. I spent the week as a hall monitor and then I got the be a tester for our 9th graders. I must say, nothing I find more boring the being a bathroom monitor to high schoolers during an important test is amount to treating them like 2nd graders. I feel bad for the students especially for our 11th graders who this could mean if they get to graduate next year or not. The results also heavily impact the funds and the view of the school to the whole state.
Anyway, I wish everyone the best and hope for a pleasant evening.

Facing Eharmony
I have been a member of the dating website, Eharmony.com now for almost 18 months. I have learn alot of people and myself in that time period.
1. The human face is the best feature of a person.
I think I have looked at profiles for over 1000 people over the last 18 months. I look at the faces and see the beauty that is there within. Also, that i is the only human physical feature that holds any real meaning to me. Through the face are the mouth, the ears, the eyes, and the brain. The mouth is the doorway to the thoughts of a human being and the place where joy can begin. The ears are the highway where thoughts and dreams are given to one another and shared. The eyes, where the soul of humanity is visible and allows others to see the true person within. And the Brain, the one place I hope and pray is working for each and every person who has one/
I know this seems like sentimental mush, but I think that human faces are the only feature I really have to know about know. I can live with the rest of the body, but the face is there and you will see it everyday for the rest of your life, if you can love that face, then how can you see the expression of humanity that are contained within.
2. I apparently have a thing for teachers?!
What I found was that most of the time, I was being matched with people who were also teachers. Now, don' get me wrong, I see beautiful and wonderful people in my profession everyday, but does that mean that's all I want? I know people from the same industry often get together, but I look at my family and I don't see it. I find it interesting to talk to people from different walks of life and enjoy hearing about their lives. Teachers as friends is great, but to be married to one when i am one, I am not sure if that is what I want in my life or not. It does not count against someone, until I decided on it one way or another.
3. Keeping up with it.
I reached the match limit today of 540 possible matches. What!? I sometimes find the whole process overwhelming to the point I just want to say, Screw it, I'll be a monk. I find I spend more time cleaning out the matches box then actually reading the profiles. To Date: I have closed 730 matches from other people in 18 months. I am closing about 2 matches a day, if I checked it everyday. I see why people like the bar more then online dating, quicker responses.
4. I'm still here
Still is the strange conclusion I've reached, I am still here and I am going to keep trying. I know my life is a little nuts, but the choice to give up and not even try looking makes me remember one of the reasons I am looking, I am tried of letting life decide for me. It is better to try and fail then to watch the game and say its terrible without any experience with it. Anyway, enough with my reflection. its late and I have a show to rep tomorrow.
Until next time, May the dreams you seek be joyful and wondrous....or at least interesting.

The drama llama and famous on the Internets
Well, this weekend went by faster then I thought it would. Which isn't all bad, but I could always wish it was longer.
Sunday, brought about a visit form my least favor creature, the Drama Llama. My guild had come to a decision. About a month ago, we agreed top merge with another guild. Well, after doing 25 man content with them for awhile, the mood had changed. You see our guild is a group of casual raiders who value the game for its social aspects more then its raiding and gear parts, and the guild we had merged with was changing to a more hardcore raiding style mind set that was getting to take the fun out of the game for most of us.
Well, we went to 25 man OS do take down the Dragon, when the GM of the guild we merged with broke a rule we had during raids, do not display damage meters, and then proceeded to "suggest" what the patch had done for us. My GM pointed out the rules and reminded him about it, the Gm was in the process of apologizing, when one our our members was tell him that that was a after raid topic and to call out members during a run did not help the raid. Then, one of the raiders from the other guild said, "Well, if you don't like them being posted, then leave." And the it started, the member who it was told to said, Fine, and the Gquit. Followed by one of the officers and top healers, said it was uncalled for. And the exiting began.
Our GM, stayed in their Vent for about 25 mins and took everything they had to dish out at him. We prepared to do a 10 man OS and began insulting each other left and right, and laughing really hard, so i was a riot. I think that's what we all needed. That guild we left had some really good people in it, but their philosophy did not mesh with ours. i wish them the best and hop for their future success.
On the school front, I am finishing up a 6000 paper mail out for parents about textbooks, finals, state testing, and book fines today. it will be mailed out this afternoon, and I wish i could take a day off to sleep, but i can't I have 2nd job to do tomorrow, and they don't like it when I work one and not the other in the same day when I'm scheduled. Its also hiring season in my profession, teaching. So I am putting together apps for various schools around the area in order to get a better shot at teaching.
This week also saw the my helping out at the station deepen. I was given the chance to show what I can do by becoming the IRC rep for Blue Plz! Which is one of the top shows on the station. I must say, I am scared top death at the idea, but I know that I have alot of work ahead, but I know it will be fun. Plus, since I no money to send the station, this is my small way of helping them out.
Finally, this past week end saw the return of my best friend Gege. I had not heard from her in several months. She and I have been friends for 10years. we meet in a chatroom, senior year of High School. Our friendship is odd to describe, but I think its best to say we have a level of trust that I have a hard time finding in other people. It is truly a wonderful thing. I can only hope to hear from her again so, and miss her like I would miss a family member.
Well, that's it for now, until next time, Have fun, take care, and sweet dreams.

Folding in my time
You ever had one of those days where you have to say, "Well that's, X amount of time, of my life I'm never getting back." Well, I had that moment this morning. I came in earlier to head over to the School District Admin Building in order to use what is called a Folding Machine. Its purpose is to do all the folding you need to put items into letter sized envelopes. Well, I had 6000 sheets of page i had to fold and hardly anyone knew how to use the machine.
So while the first 2000 sheets were being folding into the traditional Tri-fold. I was doing what men are said to never do, I read the manual for the machine. I read the entire English section of said book and figured out a host of new things I could do to cut my time short there and get the job done. Until the machine asked for a password that no one knew. So, as I look through it again, I read a small footnote said, oh and this is the password you need to edit jobs.... What?! The password no one knew is in black and white on the back cover? Figures :)
Well, I get my job done and take everything out to the Car and head back to school. I look at my watch as I walk back to my office, 12:15pm. I spent 3 1/2 hour of my life, folding paper? Sometimes, I hate my job.
Anyway, on the WoW front, the new patch has had a whole lot to do and alot of things to see. Last night, however, I was called to a meeting. My RP guild, the Chillwhisper Scourge, of Wrymsrest Accord NA, had an officers meeting which I was required to attend. Turns out we a meeting with another guild to Cause more Chaos, The Kinderd. The meeting was alot of fun and the character I played was a Teacher of the Light Dranei who had fallen to the Lich King and come back as one of his Death Knights. I must say, that was alot of fun and a good time had by all.
Anyway, I'm off to work 2, Hallmark, my manager called and asked me to come in early b/c she is over her hours, and I could always use more. So, until next time. Have hunting and good winds.
