For those of my friends who have been following my quest for different employment, I found the career change for which I was looking and start on Monday. Really excited about it as is the 7 year old. It translates to her as more time with dad. We're both excited about that.

It is actually a job I will like and is a great stepping stone to where I want to go. Basically, I've been working about 50-56 hours a week, half of that time outside.

So, basically, for a private school, I will be doing tech support and taking care of other technology related issues for faculty and staff. One of the major perks is that I've cut about 12-14 hours off of my work week.

But THE perk of perks is that I'm on faculty scheduling which means: 8 weeks off during the summer, 2 weeks at Christmas, 1 week spring break, 1 week fall break.

Unbelievable.

Well, there is a discount but she still probably won't go. There is serious money at this school. The example I was given is that 11th grade tuition costs more than freshman year at Texas Tech.

The student parking lot, which I've seen, looks like a hummer/lexus/bmw dealership.

Would really hate to expose my daughter to the social pressure of not coming from that kind of money, "Hey, we're going to our condo in Colorado for Christmas. Where are you going?"
