Time Warp Fiber

...between blog posts. (ps everyone should read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman) I'm sure you can relate, o hypothetical reader; life gets in the way. I'm mostly healed up from the wisdom teeth. There are still weird holes. It's amazing how long it's taken, actually, mouth injuries usually heal so rapidly. But I lived to tell the tale, and that's enough for me. 

In other news, I have made it through two weeks of the new job. It has its ups and downs, like any job, but I would say it's been mostly on the up side. I have enjoyed the teaching. It gets challenging at times, but I haven't dreaded it. I have a fear of hating my job. I've worked a lot of jobs that fit that bill, and most of the adults I grew up with were in the same boat. Americans devote such an obscene percentage of their lives working that it seems to me imperative to find some kind joy in what you do. I'm still not totally sold on teaching high school, but I've really enjoyed the lit, much to my shock. The blogging will taper off slightly though, with the nine hour days plus three hour commute, I don't get much free time. I have been knitting a little, I'll take some photos tomorrow to share. I leave you with a priceless quote from a student.

Me: Define prophylactic 

Student: Something...condom...sticky?
