New news

I am afraid that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.--Jane Austen letters

So I'll be honest. Besides moving Marilee to Las Vegas on Memorial day weekend--which I purposely didn't post because it was too sad--I haven't posted anything because how many times can you write "Today I kept looking for a job..." with the occasional "I had an interview which I thought went well..." But I'm happy to post that I did receive an offer from Utah Valley University to work in their prospective student offices as a graphic designer.

Side note extra quote: Here's a great one from Emma, which I thought was funny today, considering what was on my mind...I know how she feels. "She had always wanted to do everything, and had made more progress, both in drawing and music, than many might have done with so little labour as she would ever submit to. She played and sang -- and drew in almost every style; but steadiness had always been wanting; and in nothing had she approached the degree of excellence which she would have been glad to command and ought not to have failed of. She was not much deceived as to her own skill either as an artist or a musician, but she was not unwilling to have others deceived, or sorry to know her reputation for accomplishment often higher than it deserved."
