I could really use a hobby
Good news! Kyle got a job. On an awesome kind of coincidence, he’s taking a one year contract at Northwest Missouri State to be a full-time professor of communication. It just so happened that he e-mailed the department chair to inquire about adjunct positions back in May when I was first invited for this job. About three days before we moved, he got a response, hearing that it was likely that they’d have something available for him. It turned out, they had a position available because a professor was possibly leaving a post. We got confirmation that the job was open and they needed Kyle to fill it this past Monday and Kyle went in to fill out paperwork the very next day. It’s so quick to adjust to him having to work, but it’s fantastic news for us and I know he’s glad to be there.
I’m still really liking Savannah, but now that I’m used to working 8 hours and then having the evening or weekends ahead of me, I’m looking for a new hobby. By which I mean, I most likely need to revive an old hobby. Or I guess I could learn to sew. But given that I knit, design websites, geek out on design, et cetera, I need something to occupy my time a little better. So far, I have been reading a little (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon) and Kyle and I have been enjoying the end of our summer tv shows, but I need something that keeps me away from a too-early bedtime.
Plus, I’m a firm believer that if your job title is the coolest thing about you, you’re doing it wrong. And my job title is “curator” so that’s a lot to compete with.
