Yum! <br /><br />As for teaching -- just make sure you keep one step ahead of the students, and you're doing fine. I feel like I'm stressed beyond reason this semester because of three brand new preps -- humanities being the most stressful -- and yet I feel like keeping a step ahead of the students is all I'm going to accomplish this semester. You have to be happy with that if it's the best you can do, right? <br /><br />If nothing else works to help relieve the stress, then have a drink. I'll join you in spirit. heh. Get it? Spirits?

They always process those things differently, for reasons beyond anyone's comprehension. Also, toaster ovens are awfully nice, especially for cooking small items that don't actually require a huge oven. I wish I had one...sigh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-84769204736123758792012-09-02T19:39:06.003-04:002012-09-02T19:39:06.003-04:00Oh, man, I hear you!

Good luck getting up to speed in your classes, and I hope you don't have to sell your plasma to make ends meet! <br /><br />Hmm, I should go look into that...Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-39739103161308987002012-09-02T10:37:50.037-04:002012-09-02T10:37:50.037-04:00Yes, pay down that credit card debt!
The problem ...Yes, pay down that credit card debt!<br /><br />The problem with not putting money away to retirement is that it's hard to remember to start it up again once you're ready to go and you end up spending that money instead. Though I assume that 10% is on top of some mandatory amount that you don't get a choice about? <br /><br />We actually put off buying things until we'd gotten a few paychecks. Used the laundromat for a couple of months (fun times...). <br /><br />If you haven't, see if there are any 0% cc offers that will let you float without interest, since the big problem with cc debt is the nasty interest that just eats away at your income (I used a 0% cc check when my reimbursement was slow to come). #2 has also had luck calling her credit card company and just asking for a lower rate. It didn't get her to 0% but it definitely shaved quite a bit of interest costs off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-58438601159206171192012-09-01T23:47:08.326-04:002012-09-01T23:47:08.326-04:00Re the reinmbursment for moving expenses: some par...Re the reinmbursment for moving expenses: some part of it (I don't know what) can be taxable. Payroll people are not always aware of this, so when somebody finds out they may want to take the deduction out of your next paycheck: I ended up with $500 less on a paycheck for that reason. So make sure to ask (and, if you are up to it, read the IRS code on the matter).Spanish profhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248530328973177920noreply@blogger.com
