Always Better In the Morn

mlerulesOnce again I've proven through experience that things look better in the morning. It's dawning bright and a bit grey, but will certainly burn off soon and be just loverly for beach walking this afternoon.
This may be the worst possible (or just one of 'em) mindsets for getting a job/starting a career, but all I can manage to get enthused to do is whip out an olde resume, bundle the past 15 years worth of stuff into a couple lines of text, massage my minimal time in the classroom to optimal sounding "experience" (as opposed to "employment" which means paid), then mebbe try to apply for a few jobs at only those districts that are close to home and not LAUSD (e.g., Sta Monica/Malibu and mebbe Manhattan Beach and/or Culver City and/or Beverly Hills - this last one raises interesting possibilities...do I wanna deal with "hey, are you Mr. X's sister" when the answer is "no, I'm his ex-wife"...probably NOT, truth be told). No guarantee that I'll actually DO all this, but it's feeling like I SHOULD. Hey, got some motivation here, dunno 'xactly where, or that I approve of it. It's sorta that since I've got the damg qualification I should try using the dang-blamed thing. And mebbe my friends're right and I'd make a good teacher. My heart's certainly not in't, but that's at least partially due to the fact that I'm exhausticated w/the whole shebang, tired of jumping through hoops - like the application process ain't more of the same. It's almost as if I want the challenge of applying for a job to see whether I can get one...but then doesn't that mean that I have to take it if'n they give it to me?! Or mebbe I'll just ignore the whole thing for a bit longer...
