Job Search Slows

Hello Everyone:

Well the space bar on the laptop officially does not work.  So I've been using alternative methods-the good old iPad.  I've transferred .doc and .pdf versions of my cv and cover letter to my flash drive so I can use them on PLB's computers for job searches.  Speaking of which, that's a bit slow at the moment.  I saw a couple of positions open for Instructional Assistants at local schools.  It's not a bad position and it pays.  They'renpart time sonI could have the time to write.  I have another job application for a part time after school teacher at a Hebrew School.  They have an interesting approach, totally tech.  All the students and teachers get iPads.  The only problem I have is answering some of the short essay questions and whether or not I really want to work with elementary school children again.  That's kind of the same hang up I have about these Instructional Aide positions that caught my attention.  On the one hand, it's work and on the other hand I've been there, done that.  It's a lot of work and the parents and students can be a real handful.  In the absence of anything else, I have to consider my options.  Retail is out of the question because that just flat out sucks.  So we'll see what I decide to do.  Truthfully, I really like this writing thing. I set my own hours, something I should be more disciplined about, and I write what I want.  Still, I could use the money.
