So, here it is: I need a job.

I would really like to do something different at this point. I've been working in classrooms for years, and I'm ready for a change.

Honestly, I think I'd make a great personal assistant. I've done retail sales, worked in all kinds of offices (from law firms to construction), been a teacher (sorta), and a stay-at-home-mom. At faire, I've done everything from front counter sales, to working in the kitchen, and obviously, gigging in the streets.

I'm VERY organized, detail oriented, friendly, and patient. I'm excellent at planning and coordinating events and parties, great at keeping people motivated and on task, and I learn new skills quickly.

Almost all of you have a job. The way I see it, I have a huge network of people who know me, and have the opportunity every day to hear about job openings. And, maybe, just maybe, one of you is searching for someone to hire right now... or knows of someone who is. So, I'm putting it out there to the universe, to tribe, to the blogosphere, to anyone who will listen: I want to work.

I can haz broked computer? rly?!?

It finally happened... my hard drive decided it didn't like me anymore. It was a bitter break up, but with a LOT of help (thank you, CSB), I'm back with a working desktop. New hard drive, upgraded RAM, it's better than it was before. We built it better, stronger, faster (yes, by the way, you weren't the only one in the room to get that reference).

Somewhere in the process of "fixing Giddy's computer," I found myself leaning over CSB's shoulder watching photo files transfer from one hard drive to the other. Nothing but a little window and words flickering by as each picture copied. As the name of each picture winked by, the image appeared in my head. Over nine thousand pictures and graphics... years of my life reduced to words and phrases, each triggering a flash of memory. No time to even consider each one, just a mental flip book of my life over the last five or so years.

It was odd.
