Back from the dead...

In honor of the latest Spinal Tap album, I'm writing a new blog post. I'm not even going to update everyone on what's happened, instead I'm just going to write almost daily little updates about what's shakin'.

• I'm negotiating my contract soon, which means I'll get my fancy new title (I think we're leaning towards Academic Coordinator, though I would like to push for Director) as well as my fancy new raise.


• My lease is up soon on my apartment and I'm going to find a cheaper place closer to work. I'm now one of those people who chooses where they live, shop, etc based on the location of work. Maybe I can just leave my cats in the old place...


• Speaking of my cats I recently discovered they were both actually males, not females. I'm still not going to change their names from Portia and Rosalind though, I don't think Shakespeare would mind, all things considered.


• I've been cooking a lot lately, it's a great release. I'm going to start looking now for Christmas cookie recipes. All suggestions are welcomed, though know that I have limited access to baking supplies here. Keep'em simple.


• Things are over all good. It snowed! (a little) I'm the only one healthy at work, everyone else is trying their hardest to get me sick though. I'm getting my new housekeeper, we'll see how this goes.


• I'm currently in charge of recruiting new American teachers for our school. We need about three people, two preferably with experience with 3-6 year olds. Know anybody?

That's about it for the now, as I mentioned (and always do) I'll try to keep this updated. Now that I've found a reliable way around the Great Firewall of China, it's much easier. Posts will be shorter and less entertaining but will remain above the threshold of pointless websites to look at during work hours. Cheers!
