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...
At least now you know you will have a steady income!! CONGRATS! Especially on the added responsibilities.
Love you!
Wow! What a piece of news. We'll miss you over here on the other side of the Pacific, but it sounds like an exciting opportunity. Congrats from me and Michael!
Thanks guys. I am looking forward to the opportunity, but of course I will miss you too!
