Few care, but I just undid my Leave of Absence from school.

The administrators are going to allow me to work from home so I can do it between episodes of insanity and marital discord. Yay! Suddenly I feel less useless and disgusted with myself. Somebody tell me I am DA MAN! Please :)

10. Thanks dear one!

I can't stand not having a goal, I guess. The call from the school is exactly what I needed on this gloomy day. :bounce: :woohoo:

4. Oooh. Working at home! Man, I LOVE working at home.

Soo fun and cozy.

You must work as UMO? My wife works over at USM. I must say, I am glad she works at a university. Great benefits that totally have helped our little family out, and her union has been very helpful!

15. I wish I did!

Have a job, I mean. I have a degree in psy/soc which has turned out to be useless as I've attempted to re-enter the workforce. So I'm going to a tech school (NTI) for the medical office assistant program. I jumped right into it after my emotional crack-up last year and I guess it was too soon. Oh well, I'm going back and may be employed by summer. :hi:

22. The good news is that I don't start up until Thursday.

I still have a day and a half to lie around and bemoan my fate. I'm going to make every minute count. :hi:

24. Enjoy!

So ironic, I know, when I have had periods of time off due to quitting a job without finding another...I can never enjoy the time because I'm worried. Then later I think, "Damn, I should have realized how good I had it!"

26. I hear you. I got pregnant right after I got married and found

myself at home in a small apartment with no money, no work and nothing to do but read, cook and clean. I'd call my mother, weeping with the sensation that I was a pointless lump of woman-flesh. She always told me to kick back and enjoy myself in the time I had left as *just me*. Boy, was she right.

14. I'm happy for you, you'll be done that much sooner

what are you taking this time? Working from home or doing online courses is the best way, it's the only reason I still have my internet hooked up.

Go crim son, knock those course requirements out! Woohoo!

23. Hi babe. I'm just jumping in where I left off.

In about two weeks I start Anatomy and Physiology. They are going to rearrange my classes so that I can pospone the stuff that requires me to be in the classroom. Wish me luck, because I need it. :pals: :bounce:

There were only two possible days per week where I could do classwork and now there will be seven. It should move quickly.
