Hi.
Did I mention I went to Korea? Oh, well, I did.
But now I’m back in Colorado Springs! It seems I left for a couple years only to come right back to where I false-started adulthood as a 22 year-old. Don’t do the math on those couple of years, though, because the last time I lived here I didn’t even stay a year, then I was gone for 2 years, and what-do-you-know I turn 26 this month. See, now that’s the kind of inconsistent subjectivity about math that made me turn English major.
So, what’s new with me? Not much. Just like the last time I was here, I’m just sitting around waiting to be able to substitute teach. In a way it feels like I’ve got nothing to show for those two years away. True, my job-hunting resume is a little beefier this time, for what it’s worth. But my other resume, which can be called the loser-rating resume, or also the chick’s-parents resume, is probably all the less impressive. Being 26 and not having truly begun a career does not make you look like a responsible adult. But that’s okay I guess. I’m glad I spent those two years the way I did and I don’t suppose the chick’s-parents resume is always the right standard to judge your life by.
And one more thing: it’s been a long time since I knew the glamor of the Publix parking lots and check-out registers. But tomorrow, I am reporting for duty for my new calling until Christmas. That’s right, I have joined the ranks of the Salvation Army bell ringers this holiday season. I feel like that runs a close second to being Santa Claus. So, I think it’s high time I sheepishly return to blogging, as I expect I’ll have a lot to think about while guarding the storefront for 8 hours a day. But I will still be writing under the Baggervais name, because Bellringervais doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, and I would know.
Coming to you from the old library computers of yore, adios.
