Need More Time?
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
We're still on the job hunt. Tonight my husband and I go to talk to an executive recruiting firm, to see if it will be worth using them to get him some work. My understanding is that we only pay if they find him a job, and they try to work their cost into his salary, so it could be a really good deal.
Especially if they help him to really upgrade his career.

Pretend Play
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
Here in California a lot of parents are watching to see what happens with the next budget. They're talking about a huge cut in the budget for schools - about 10%. In the school district we're in, they're talking about cutting about 150 teachers due to that.
