We got in the newly cut mat for my diploma frame and got that all situated and hung up properly. It looks wonderful, though I must confess, I don't feel a sense of recognition with it. I keep being told that having that piece of paper will change my life. Well, world, I'm waiting. Maybe after I do the grad walk, I'll feel "finished." As it is, Mizzou keeps stringing me along with various minor issues. They are once again insisting that I fill out an exit counseling form (which I've done before). In a packet postmarked on Nov. 9, they assert that if I hope to be able to obtain my transcript (which I already have), I have to fill out the forms and return them by Nov. 9. Please note how delicately I avoided pointing out the obvious to anyone who might be reading, since I know that anyone reading this blog is bound to be smart enough to realize that we have not yet solved the problem of time travel.
On the matter of waiting for the world to change, I've got my two applications in. Only the one with the current employer seems likely to receive much consideration. I forced myself to go to the Writers' Group meeting Saturday morning (which I always enjoy when I'm there), mostly because several of the members are faculty at the previous employer. One of them is a reference for me in my application to my current employer.
Speaking of current employers, my schedule has been changed yet again. One of my Advanced Comp online classes has been given away and in its place is an Advanced Business Communication. The Dept. Chair says it may be Monday (tomorrow) before our schedules are finalized. We're having a dept. meeting on Tuesday, so I guess I will be able to count on my schedule staying the same after that. (Mentally fill in your own ironic laughter.)
It's a beautiful sunny day. Cold as a witch's tit in a brass bra, but beautiful. Dr. S.
