Not really blue, it's just that it's been so dreary weatherwise, first rain, then snow, then both. And cold too. I was going to put away the heavy blankets, but it's too cold. Maybe next month. The ISP was down most of yesterday and I spent most of my first official day of vacation sulky and pouting because I couldn't get online. I spent this morning cleaning out my dresser drawers and closet so I could take the afternoon and do as I please ie. take a nap, read a book, watch how to clean your dresser drawers and clean your closet home improvement shows on TLC, an play a few hours on my Playstation. All the while of course trying to decide where to work next year. I've pretty much decided to return to Lame Deer, since I've been told they will be offering me the high school library. If I went back to Ashland I would be losing tenure and about $15,000. BTW, I think there's definitly something wrong when teachers in the same county can have such a difference in salary. I haven't seen an actual contract yet, but since the respective school boards passed a motion to hire me,the contract is a formality.
Good thing I got a new car when I did. Even with 30-35 MPG I'll still have to find something else to do when I get the urge to drive to Billings or MIles City on a whim. Gas in Ashland was 2.79 last Thursday. I haven't been brave enough to check it out recently. Maybe I'll drive by tomorrow and see if it's up to 3.00 yet. Maybe not!

Sounds like the right thing to do about work. $15k buys a lost of gas and will continue to make a differnce when you retire. I'm glad I bought a scooter when I did.
