ok, so have i mentioned that i’m a pre-school teacher…and a part-time librarian? could you think of two more plain jane and pseudo boring jobs? except that they are actually not that boring, but they can be tedious. in these troubling times i feel like a TOTAL heel complaining about a job - i should be thanking my lucky stars that i have a job at all…let alone 2 jobs and...
