the state of the things

minxyMy country does a fantastic job of celebrating individuality, and being pants at taking care of those in need: the elderly, the mentally ill, the disenfranchised, the dangerously desperate.
I lived near that mall in Oregon. I have been to Newton, CT. That's another thing we do well, we move around a lot.
Bless the survivors of those poor children. That's got to be all of us; imagine the potential lost there. On second thought, don't: don't imagine what has been lost in those children. Bless us, survivors. How can we all not be heartbroken and culpable.
In my little world, I think I didn't get that job in the central coast of California. They haven't said so, only that they haven't made a final decision yet; I think it's clear the first choice isn't me. It's hard to bear that too. California has such terrible finances that what used to be the premiere state educational system is a laughing stock now; it's unlikely another position will be offered so near where E wants to be.
I have removed the knife from my back (work-wise) at my current job with the help of allies I didn't know I had. I can manage here, but I'm glad to have a rest and break.
What a day.

Here's praying that a more perfect job exists and will be looking for someone like me soon.
