On a brighter note, Griz has taken to lap cuddles the last few weeks, whenever I have time to sit on the deck steps with him. He is still afraid if I'm standing up, but with me down on his level, he is braver and braver as the months go on.<br />

I stopped by B*M today (that's of course what yest's FB thing was about) to talk to the mgr and introduce myself and the good news is he is going thru apps on Thursday and as I left he said he would be calling me for an interview (he positively lit up re my books experience, etc.)

The bad news: it is part-time regardless of what their stinking website said (don't EVEN get me started at how absolutely incensed I am becoming with each passing liar-liar-pants-on-fire job posting) AND you're limited to two 4-hr shifts for each of the first THREE weeks of training and after that THE NUMBER OF HOURS YOU GET DEPENDS ON HOW MANY FUCKING B*M MEMBERSHIPS AND MAGAZINES AND OTHER PROMOTIONAL ITEMS (none of which are actual books) YOU SELL. Those who do well of course get more hours. Those who do not can count on their 8 hrs/wk and possibly not more.

I basically suck at the whole hawking-wares thing, even if it is stuff I really am into (like perhaps, say, the books themselves) - plus of course it is Really Quite Hilarious to think that 24 hours' work in the first three weeks is anywhere close to sufficient.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Bottom line, at the risk of sounding like it's preemptive sour grapes, is I really don't want it - I'll go to the interview most likely but despite the pull of being back in books, I'd rather work part-time at Panera or somewhere where I don't have to stress about how much I'm selling, and where I have a more real chance of more hours than that. There is the option of, if they offer, taking it until I find other stuff (a prospect which in itself feels shitty because dishonest), so I guess we'll see how desperate I'm feeling that day, if it comes. Plus, given the fact that if I end up settling for a P/T job I'll certainly be looking for a second, I think two jobs is stressful enough in the first place without one of them being somewhere that adds more than the average new-job stress (like for example where I have to pull sales pitches out of my ass to convince customers to buy a stupid B*M membership) on top of that. But of course, we'll see... Never say never - altho I really really want to say never. Really really loudly. And some other stuff. Some of which I've already said here and doubtless will continue to include...

I had an inkling it was a mistake to get my hopes up on that... (or on anything job-wise in this fucking place, actually). Pretty good outlook over here at the library, my home away from home. On to other job applications… What is that dictum about "if something looks too good to be true it probably is"? Honestly that applies to pretty much everything in this town for me - except it often would read like this "if something looks kind of passably OK it probably is too good to be true." (Of course all adventures involving choir or clay are exempt from this trend.)

Which brings me to mention… Some people have accused me of being a pessimist over the years. (I know, seriously?! Me?!) But I always come back to the conclusion that actually I'm an ultra-optimist who is constantly disappointed and my hopes, being "ultra" themselves, naturally seem ultra-dark when they get dashed.

And so fresh rage towards Clems*n is born. I __did__ find out, upon returning home, that I have been SERIOUSLY underestimating my gifts for cursing and invectives. Really, who isn't happy to find out they have hidden additional talents at the age of 50?</div>

<br />
For some reason we find our heroine (ha) in the middle of a spate of animal stories and other tearjerkers movie- and book-wise.<br />
<br />
Maybe my subconscious wants me to be upset about stuff that is more worthy and kind of healthy to be upset about rather than just about the job hunt crap.<br />
<br />
Anyway have hankies handy if you dare to read "War Horse" (altho mostly if you're someone like me who - for example - erupted into 30 minutes of sobs years ago at the accident scene in "The Horse Whisperer"or can't watch the teensiest snippet of footage, even muted, of Ruffian's last race). And yet here I am getting the DVD at the library today - partly to see how good the adaptation is (Incurable critic!) but partly b/c of the aforementioned subconscious directive.<br />
<br />
To be clear, it's not all melodrama and "Black Beauty"-cruel-hackney-cabby scenes, much of this stuff is tear-jerky in an uplifting way. Witness last night's "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," which was an engaging watch and still got me even tho parts of it could have been better. One part that could not have been better was the wondrous (as always) Glen Hansard and his song during the closing credits. I'll include it for you here so that you can have something much more enriching and worthwhile than anything else I could possibly share about my life at the moment.<br />

I have had weird things to eat today and all of them a while ago so probably it's upset from the Advil that is swimming in there right now with a little swig of Diet Dr. Pepper.<br />
<br />
I started this Dr. Pepper yesterday during my first 202 final. When I walked in one of my students asked if it was Dr. Pepper. I said yes and she said she can't drink Dr. Pepper. I asked why and she said, "Well, this might be too much information but it makes me poop a lot."<br />
<br />
Who says you don't learn anything when you're on the teaching end of the college dynamic?<br />
<br />
Which college dynamic I am none too sad about exiting. It might be partly spring fever, partly panic/denial, but I know it's mostly Authentic Contented Anticipation of not doing this any more. And those who know me best and how things have been for me here can judge whether they think that's sour grapes or not. I say it's not.<br />
<br />
Of course I'm probably not the most objective person to ask. But even if it were sour grapes there's no disputing how miserable I've been here and how much my mindset and life have been transformed already this semester just with having that change on the horizon, not yet as a done deal.<br />
<br />
Still, I am trying to temper the enthusiasm - partly so that I actually get some fricking jobhunt stuff done and partly because I'm sure there will be some hard times. The next job might not be great either (altho it would have to be pretty bad to do worse so I think it can't help but be somewhat better, even just by virtue of not entailing any homework), and I'm sure there will be days where I'm feeling bittersweet about this professional identity that I'm closing the door on, and of course since it's pretty much a given that I'm not going to be making as much money there will be hard times that are just hard b/c times are hard.<br />
<br />
It's kind of weird that aside from age, I'm kind of in a time warp where someone has dumped me back in May 1993 when I quit the Ph.D. One thing that's cool about that concept is that that means all the time I spent teaching at Aub*rn (and, OK, here) has been bonus (considering that I was quite sure back then that I had pretty much put the nails in the coffin on any academic career [and was OK with that, mind you]) and now I'm no worse off than I was then. Another thing that's cool about it is that I have all those many years of proof that I can live pretty well without teaching.<br />
<br />
I suppose one potentially un-cool thing about it is if anyone looks at this situation and considers the last 20 years as wasted time (b/c of being back in the same spot), but I don't choose to do that. At least where teaching at Aub*rn (and, OK, here) is concerned I actually feel like I kind of cheated something, for lack of a better word. I mean as I said I was pretty convinced I would never be able to teach at the college level with my Master's, and yet I found myself right back in there despite that, and of course scored 3 trips to Paris (albeit stressful busy trips but of course not regretted in the least and if nothing else they certainly were the highpoint of the Clems*n era - not exactly <i><b>worth</b></i> all the pain and stress and work that I've dealt with here, but at least they help offset those bits).<br />
<br />
As long as I'm getting all philosophical I should also count all my Aub*rn and Clems*n friends, SC hiking and paddling forays, continued clay play, having the chance to Sing again with a capital "S" and possibly even Sam & Lucy among my Good Life Things that happened if not because of then at least in conjunction with this job I wasn't supposed ever to be able to do again after May '93. And of course the Really Cool students here and there, and probably many other things I'm neglecting to mention.<br />
<br />
So HA! Not sure who that's aimed at, Life, Academia, what... but still HA!<br />
<br />
Other cool thing especially with today's slightly panicked mindset job-wise is that I made it thru then (even more impressive, if I'm allowed to take credit for living thru such things: despite the first couple years' entailing a marriage, Mom's death, and a divorce). Consequently there is every possibility (is that guarded enough for you? today my outlook isn't letting me wax completely optimistic, alas, but still) that I will make it thru again.<br />
<br />
I started to say something like "... without too much difficulty" but I decided not to jinx things.<br />
<br />
Every. Possibility.<br />
<br />

<ul>
<li>I am at M*e Joe's having a Stella Artois, creating a lead sheet for a song we're to do in She Sings. I found a new music notation site/program that was free: Musescore. I have used Noteflight before this but since I don't have internet at home currently I couldn't work on this piece that way. Finally had the brainstorm the other day of looking for something that would work offline for not much money and lo and behold Musescore raised its head above the other google hits... so we'll see. In a lot of ways I like it better than Noteflight but all of these things have their fun things and their little things that aren't that intuitive after all... depending on your brain. Anyway that's what I'm doing.</li>
<li>I'm listening to Dar Williams, whom I love; I had forgot how much of her stuff I had in my iTunes - made a CD/playlist the other day for Elaine and happened to think to put some DW on it which reminded me how tremendous she is.</li>
<li>Home in a few to feed kittehs and get ready for She Sings rehearsal at 17h30. </li>
<li>Only two more Mondays til I'm done teaching college FR - hopefully for good. This doesn't count the Monday of finals week, which I am trying to block out b/c I'm due to get a tooth crowned temporarily (I don't know the date of the permanent crown installation or I would block it out as well.:) </li>
<li>Incidentally Tuesday of that same week I am going to The H*nd Center, on a referral about my wrist, which you don't know about b/c I haven't written in forever. Rest assured that (in my completely non-expert opinion but still it's my wrist, so...) it is not something serious, just in need of attention while I still have insurance (I plan to continue having insurance but just in case I have to go with P/T jobs for a while or something -- far far far worst case scenario job-wise).</li>
<li>I lost 16 pounds so far on my eat better/ move more campaign. Amazing, right? I mean it's quite mind-blowing, imagine that simply eating better and less, and moving more has brought such concrete results and relatively quickly ( been at it about 6 wks - it was aided by mini-bronchitis I had over spring break when I had no appetite for 2-3 days).</li>
<li>The real mind-blow is that I am capable - at last - of maintaining the mindset necessary for such things like taking care of myself - after 4.75 years in this godforsaken place. </li>
<li>Add to that the fact that I'm reading way more, writing in my journal Really Quite Regularly for the first time since moving here also, actually writing letters again (this is starting small but still, it's happening), create-ing a fair amount (of course I've been doing pottery here for about 2 years but recently it's become more consistent and my attention more engaged so that I can actually think about improvements, new ideas, etc., whereas until now it's been somewhat of a crap-shoot - rarely near the quality of my clay work in Aub*rn and when I did get close to it, completely inconsistent) whether clay, yarn, food, etc.</li>
<li>I honestly think it's my subconscious anticipating not-teaching-anymore, extracting energy from the future situation where I actually have time and attention span/interest to do all the stuff again that really makes me happy. I liken it to being in a really smoggy city and then driving into the country and feeling better and better as the air improves even tho you're still in the outskirts and not really There yet. Not the most perfect analogy but close. Of course aided by this semester which has been my easiest since arriving here. Various elements just happened to align. Nice last chapter actually - nice not to be ENTIRELY INDESCRIBABLY MISERABLE -<i><b>like-</b></i> pretty much every semester until now.</li>
<li>Also, ostensibly, good for having time and energy for jobhunting. nyernt nyernt. That has yet to happen much - not sure if it's denial or confidence making me feel like something will pan out regardless. Of course I do realize I need now with these few weeks between me and the end of my Clems•n U. life that I need to at least start putting applications in, etc. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Guess this ended up a mindset update after all and none-too-complete, for which I'm sorry but I have to run. </div>

Some of you saw and commented on pictures on Facebook, etc. OH and you did have some idea of it I guess b/c it dawns on me now that I did <a href="http://sus63.blogspot.com/2013/01/stitches.html" target="_blank">that one post re the stoles I made for our robes</a>...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway it went pretty well and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYeyZ8gisgs&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">here's the recording</a> if you're interested and/or achingly bored (i.e. I will not be hurt in the least if you don't go listen). Couple of weak spots (if you would please just skip over the piece that starts at ~53:35 I'd be forever beholden, for example) but I'm happy to say that in general we sound great and in particular most of the parts where I was in a solo or trio sound solidly good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Feel free to do like I do and just skip to each piece of music - <a href="http://shesingsuufc.blogspot.com/2013/02/she-sings-and-shes-anal-retentive.html" target="_blank">here is a post on our choir blog that gives start times</a>.<br />
<br />
Best overall pieces in my opinion where you can really hear what we can do (not too shabby for such a small group) are at 7:10 (I'm soprano 2 here) and 35:00 (soprano 1 here so on the last phrase before the end, it's me and Inge on the high A's. :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And since someone made me promise to underline at least one bit where I am at least slightly featured (I'm going to leave you guessing as to which little solos are mine), the trio where I am the middle part and can be heard better than in the large group numbers starts at ~15:13. (Any place where you can only hear two parts I'm one on soprano. Two places where you hear a part moving at the end of a phrase and the other two parts are holding, the moving part is me.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last disclaimer: on a couple where we sound rather irregular, we are actually walking around. </div>

Kind of fun to re-read, but also kind of compulsive (the writing not the re-reading), and sobering to read about funks, etc., way back then when I like to think I'm not always like this (i.e. funked, i.e. like I've been ever since moving to this godforsaken place...) but that bears more thought later...<br />
<br />
There are some jewels, wit-wise, happenings-wise, memories-wise, etc. Here's a bit from a Sept. 1996 newsletter that I formatted like a newspaper (a joy for me to read in present day but I shudder at the thought of all those friends slogging through it way back then - or --more probably-- blowing it off -- which is fine)...<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: -0.1px;">LOCAL BICYCLE HOSPITALIZED Toulouse Le Trek, two-wheeled, eighteen-speed companion of Sus@n Clay, 2521D E. Elm St., Tucson, was rushed to Full Cycle last month for an emergency rear derailleur amputation. On August 31st, 1994, at approximately 5:20 a.m., a rogue bandana had allegedly lodged itself in the helpless victim's derailleur as his friend, Ms. Clay, was innocently upshifting to warp speed on Elm St. just west of Tucson Blvd. The result was a near total rupture of Mr. Le Trek's rear derailleur, which, according to witnesses, was said to be hanging by its cable alone, having "snapped clean off" just below its point of attachment to the victim's frame. Later that day, in an emergency procedure performed at the Full Cycle Trauma Center, a new derailleur was fitted. Some physical and psychological therapy followed for the patient and his friend, respectively. Mr. Le Trek is home now and fully recovered from the harrowing incident. Ms. Clay was quoted at the scene of the accident as saying, "Wow... Wow. Shit. Fuck. Wow."</span></div>

This is by far my favorite creation lately- they are so fun and cozy!! I have red yarn now to make a similar pair of thick house socks, half-wool like these. Then I have lots of more regular-sized sock yarn to start making gift sock pairs.<br />
<br />
I was down to one old pair of wool socks to wear around the house, with holes on one side so I was wearing them the other direction.<br />

I must say I am quite happy with how they turned out and it was fun to be sewing again. Maybe after I'm done with Clems*n I'll actually have time for more and even get some quilts done. On verra.<br />

Not a bad idea to make a concerted effort at focusing on good things.<br />
<br />
So we'll see.<br />
<br />
If I go that way I'm sure I'll still throw in the occasional self-absorbed (as most blogs must be) and/or completely beside-the-point chaff.<br />
<br />
Either way it doesn't look like it'll serve as very decent reading for others. I console myself by thinking of some of the better posts way back when - still writing for self-expression's sake but at least interesting to others a lot of the time and not COMPLETELY in the "wow you should see what I pulled out of my belly button today" category thank goodness.<br />
<br />
Will think on some re-formatting and design changes to see if that will make it more inviting as a thankfulness receptacle...

Absolutely no rationalization involved whatsoever, juicy tho they may be (cf. The Big Chill).<br />
<br />
Mostly just coming on here because I keep forgetting to let you know that even tho I haven't been very busy on the blog the last big while, the kits have been pretty active on theirs and I just published a bunch of posts (long story but the process is a little more complicated there since I'm really anal and want all the posts to have the appropriate credit - "posted by Sam" or similiar) that had been languishing...<br />
<br />

would having kinda-finite time periods for wifi
outside the house make me be less wordy in emails, etc., and/or would it help me
focus more? I feel like I don't do as much vegging out online surfing at school
for example since I usually have one eye on the clock, and when I have less
time I <i>tend</i> to get to the point faster in blogposts, etc.<o:p></o:p></div>

Like, say, if they are struck unconscious by the fact that someone is writing on their blog again after eons of not? Assuming I'm right, here's some virtual spirits to revive you.<br />
<ul>
<li>Putting that subtitle up there made me want to read <u>Gulliver's Travels</u> again, or even <u>Moll Flanders</u>. Really I should finally fricking read <u>Tom Jones</u> which has been on my list and my bedside table - one of 30 more or less in-progress books needing attention.</li>
<li>Griz does this fun little squeak. It pretty much rocks.</li>
<li>I'm wearing a skirt! Ultra-fun is that it was $1 at the thrift store last month. It's the first day of class of summer session <i>deux</i>. </li>
<li>I'm not happy the session has started - well on the surface, consciously, anyway. </li>
<li>Underneath it's probably a very good thing it has because even tho I always think I'll love time without any commitments, it is one of the best ways for a funk to come on and take some serious root.</li>
<li>Am I the only one who thinks that last bit sounds like some kind of street speak?</li>
<li>I didn't get anything at all done on job stuff during my little hiatus. Very very mad at myself.</li>
<li>Kelly is going to help me get started, and indeed already made things easier because a couple of the aspects of the whole process which I had been envisioning in way too OCD ways she simplified for me in about 3 sentences.</li>
<li>I have my hopes up way too high for one particular potential job. Even to the point of imagining myself getting a house in Gville with a sun porch that I could reserve for Griz and give him a cat door. Of course the house will have to have two sun porches because I've always promised Sam & Lu that they would have a sun porch eventually to call their own. </li>
<li>See, I'm really not the pessimist everyone thinks I am. We're back to the theory that I'm actually the ultimate optimist but b/c my hopes are so high all the time, they're always getting dashed. Yeah, that's it - a hyper-optimist with really bad luck. </li>
<li>This job is really the only one I even like the idea of but it's not a case of settling, no sir. More like aiming too high. K. and a few others think I'm perfect for it, and down deep inside part of me thinks I <i>could</i> be perfect for it, given the chance. </li>
<li>I'm not trying to be cryptic - I just hesitate to say it out loud and tempt the gods, call the snake, etc.</li>
<li>Pick the colorful fate-tempty expression of your preference. </li>
<li>Trying to focus on the drawbacks, i.e. psych out the gods and make them think I'm not counting on anything and in fact don't even want it.</li>
<li>So, a pretty big wrench might possibly be thrown into both Sh* Sings and pottery. </li>
<li>And the fact that we'd be moving in the first place.</li>
<li>Well we wouldn't really HAVE to move but it's a pretty long drive from here to F*rman University to be the new director of their study abro*d program.</li>
<li>Crap.</li>
<li>Nyernt nyernt.</li>

Both Karen and I ran across this Rumi poem that fit the bill pretty well, tho implementing these ideas into my life right now is considerably more difficult than referring to them for discussion.<br />
<br />
Still, it was a Rumi piece I had never taken note of before, and Rumi nearly always rocks, so there.<br />

I should say Job stuff, to distinguish from job stuff - small-j-wise I actually put in an application at the P*ndleton bakery/café, big-J-wise I have done slightly more brainstorming but no work at all on new versions of CV, or calling the people I have on my mental networking list, etc. I did meet with Meredith from the St*dy Abro*d office tho to get some ideas and pointers and feedback on whether I'd be a good candidate for that area (She thinks definitely yes. yay.) Sigh.<br />
<br />
But I finally got back in the studio Weds. eve after a 5.5 WEEK HIATUS :( and it went tolerably well, and did not cost any money! :) Then today was my first jaunt to the studio to clean - 2.6 hours of mopping and sweeping was as good as gym time apparently - I am WIPED. (Seriously - my body feels all noodly - like when you haven't swum for a while and you start in again - every muscle is yawning.) Since my last mention of this incredibly cool and symbiotic arrangement, it has further been decided that I will serve as substitute studio monitor whenever needed and I'll be in charge of keeping track of kiln firings and making sure they happen as frequently/regularly as possible.<br />
<br />
And more free studio time tonight! There's sort of an open house at T*C (that's an A) and T*mmye wants some bodies in the ceramics studio so that when guests are wandering around it looks bustly - she had asked Marty but I'm subbing b/c T really wanted people to be doing wheel work and Marty wanted to handbuild. <br />
<br />
So... the future Sam & Lucy and I will be homeless or living in a hovel somewhere but at least my spirit will be happy...<br />
<br />
OK yes I recognize that that was completely crazy hyperbole (even tho I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to put "almost" in front of "completely.")Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16794178538427723305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18847981.post-41387142171496605302012-05-13T16:47:00.000-04:002012-05-18T16:49:27.379-04:00seriously, I do<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Pale sunlight,</span><br />

<br />
Among other things.<br />
<br />
Music is good at least.<br />
<br />
Except for how much procrastination it breeds.<br />
<br />
Quasi-justifiable procrastination is the worst.<br />
<br />
Or maybe the best.<br />
<br />
Until, exhausted and deflated and completely behind on all work you realize: No, it really is the worst.<br />
<br />
Not that you needed any help finding procrastination fodder, justifiable or no.<br />
<br />
One thing I'm not picky about.<br />
<br />
So I guess that's good.<br />
<br />
<br />
I cannot decide if I like this coconut flavored LaCroix fizzy water or not.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16794178538427723305noreply@blogger.com2
