Working Sooner

Posted by Stuart at 04:31 PM on October 04, 2002

Originally the deal with the university was to start teaching full-time in January. Then they called me back and asked me to pick up one class starting October 24. Now, they want me to start full-time October 24. In addition to teaching, they want to me to work on their website and help administer a travel software package for their Hotel and Tourism Department.

Needless to say I was shocked. My first reaction was to be disappointed that I wouldn't be able to travel around SE Asia as much this fall and winter as I had hoped. But then I came back to reality (with a not-so-gentle nudge from my good friend Mag) and realized I have been vacationing long enough. Not to mention I still have two weeks until October 24 plus vacation time at Christmas. Mag is right: it's time to re-join the working world.

Starting work will definitely be good for the newly opened bank account, but not so good for continuing an exciting online journal...
