Heard from the publication with which I “auditioned†recently, and the news is great! I’ve been selected as a temporary reviewer for this publication, which reviews children’s books, with the potential to become a permanent reviewer once they’ve detemined how well I fit in with their standards. Needless to say, I’m pretty thrilled! (Though one of my coworkers laughed when I told her the news, and said: “And just HOW are you going to fit this into your crazy schedule?â€).

ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! This is HUGE good news, Abby! Congratulations! I am soooo happy for you, and a teeny bit envious too. I am sure they will keep you on permanently, as I think you are a great (underscore that!) great book reviewer. I can’t tell you how many books I’ve looked into just because I read your review on the blog. Wow. This is great. Yay you!

So…for whom is it that you will be writing?????? Inquiring minds must know! And congratulations — none of us ever — EVER — had a doubt you’d be a book reviewer. And — ha! — due to superior sister clairvoyance (SSC) some of us knew that’s *exactly* what you were auditioning (??) for all along. Try to hide from SSC…hehhehheh…vee vill find youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Congrats!

Hi guys! Thanks for the support!!! I’m pretty excited about this!! Liz – don’t be envious, ’cause I’m envious of what an awesome teacher you obviously are! Dan – you’re right, it is Important, and thrilling! Jean – not sure whether I should write the name of the publication for whom I will be reviewing…call me & I’ll tell you!

Abs…I was a teacher. I left my teaching job exactly one month ago yesterday to work at a philanthrophic organization closer to my home. I also reclaimed all the hours on nights and weekend spent working. I LOVE my new job, am learning a totally new career, and get to go home at 4 with NO expectations to do any more work work. It’s wonderful. I’m so happy for you, though. It is something right up your alley!

Liz: I had no idea! I’m glad to hear that you’ve got less of a commute, and that you’ve reclaimed your off-the-clock time. I know how hard teachers work, and how many long, long days they put in! Congratulations!
