Something else on the to-do list that I just to-doned--some teaching job applications. Vanier and Dawson posted their continuing education positions for the fall. I would be quite happy to teach cont ed... evening shifts, and "mature" students! ;-)

Once in awhile I think about my blogs, and wonder what they would look like to a prospective employer. I'm not overly worried about it, but I do try to keep that standard in mind when posting. Not that I try to raise the level of my vocabulary and only post Deep Messages (as the last lolcat posting shows), but I try not to be too personal either. ...Which is probably why this blog isn't terribly exciting. I'm not going to write about a fight with my hubby, or a crappy thing that happened at work! (And, oh yes, I have to think about my reputation at my current job as well.)

One of my nom de plumes is in the email address I put on my CV, so in theory I have traceability. But if I google it, the first listings have nothing to do with me. My real name brings up some innocuous links. My other plume-name brings up my facebook public profile, which contains next to nothing, this blog, a comment I left on a firefox add-on (which the developer answered, and I never realized it!), and my never-used myspace page.

What can they learn from this blog? That I'm mathematically foolish... better not apply to teach stats courses. ...That I like cats. ...That I have trouble going to bed early. ...That I have an ant problem. (Actually, I don't anymore. After the last attack we cleaned the Sticky Cupboard, killed the next 3 ants who showed up, and they've left us alone since. I guess when scouts don't return, the troops get suspicious.)

Okay enough blathering. Goodnight!

The Story of Me in: British series!

Getting back in a Brit series mood. So much good Britty tv, so little life.... My mother got me into all this stuff. One of my great inheritances. Bless you muthah.

Watching Wallander--a Brit series based on a series of Swedish mystery novels. It is sooo nice seeing Branagh doing something good again.
