been your sister, I've been your mister

update on the me: I've been doing some new gigs, at least one of which might turn into something substantial and good.

My aunt has worked for an MBA admissions consulting group for several decades now, and I've been pestering to get in on it since I was in college. She's been over-busy this year - she's trying to run my grandparents' old bed and breakfast at a profit, as if - and I've been getting some of her work kicked to me for a few months now to take off pressure. She's been on vacation this whole week, and I've been running the show. It's been fun! but stressful, because if this is an audition man I want to nail it. Not because the work is particularly interesting - but it's the best-paid I've ever been, and the group has been really good to my aunt, they seem like really supportive employers. I've never had one of those; I want.

It looks like I'm also moving sideways into secondary-ed-related work; I just got a contact from an old friend who works as a guidance counselor in one of the local high schools, and that might turn into a tutoring job; and I'm also putting in for a contract writing job developing reading comprehension assessment test questions.

(I've also been doing a lot of housekeeping work within my family, bc it's a way that I can give back; I'm cleaning for my folks, and I've been to my grandmother's for the last few months. I sort of like it; it makes me feel connected with the memories of both of my grandfathers to continue the work that they were both so involved in.)

if I had a dollar for every dollar's worth of work ect.
