I was on the border and all I got was this lousy meal

This weekend continued Kim's birthday celebration. Friday night was fun because I took her to Medieval Times for her bday dinner. Overall, an enjoyable experience. It's always fun when everyone calls you "lord." Last night Kevin, Rachel, Moose, Cindy, Kim & I went to On the Border for dinner. I'll let Kim reveal more about the events of these 2 days, but I want to reveal my input for last night. From now on, I'll take my stomach elsewhere when the hostess of a restaurant is wearing sweats and a ratty sweater. Tonight Liz met us for some apps and drinks at Bennigan's. Food was sub-par, but conversation was entertaining.

So this is my last week in hell. I am so excited to get out of there and not hurt my back anymore. I'm really looking forward to teaching starting next Monday. I know I won't be rich, but it's the best thing to happen to me in over a year in terms of employment. Also, I received a call from Brick Township on Friday for an interview on Tuesday. There are apparently a few positions open, but the secretary I spoke to only knew one was a third grade class that would start January 3rd and last until the end of the school year. It would be under contract and would include benefits. I'm hoping things go well and I can pick up one of the openings. But I'm keeping things in perspective. This would be the third time I'm going there for an interview, so I hope it's a charm. Also, if I don't get one of the jobs, I know I still have the job in Bloomfield until the end of the school year. Whatever happens, it's better than retail.

Bengals got destroyed today and I also realized how much I hate watching pre-game shows and ESPN in general. Every week it's the same stories: Michael Vick, Deion Sanders, Jaguars in the Super Bowl, and it's a bunch of guys trying to overanalyze every aspect of the game. Oh crap, the WNBA playoff highlights are on. Gotta go.
