Whistling: Footloose and fancy free.. Damn, the Muppets are awesome!
Anyway, today was my last day in my current do-gooder job. I only hope that my next do-gooder job, whatever that might be, will have as powerfully flushing toilets as this places does. Right now, that is going to be home, which is definitely a quality toilet, although it is hissing non-stop and I need to have the super come look at it.
Mostly I am feeling more optimistic about my immediate future than I did a few days ago. My plan is to set up a consulting service on child care facilities and financing, which may or may not bring in some dough. At the same time, I received a very nice lead on a potential publisher for my proposed book on weird things to see and do in NYC, and am sending out the proposal with renwed vigor. Plus, there are at least five potential articles for magazines floating around in my little head.
All this should keep me busy, and hopefully get me out of the house a bit. Fortunately, Husband's health insurance covers me (and actually only covers me because I have no other insurance options; when I worked full-time, this was a serious bone of contention with me because I could not be on his plan although it was far better than mine, clearly discriminating against working spouses) and his salary also allows me to continue eating from first-hand sources instead of the trash in the event that this grand experiment fails. I am extremely lucky. Now I only need to worry about finding good bathrooms to do my business while I go about my business.

I think you should still walk in there to use the bathroom. Just play it cool.
ReplyDeleteOkay, after my half-hearted maligning of BUST last week, I read my copy of the new issue, and it has a couple awesome articles in it. I thought of you when I read the interview with SNL's Amy Poehler, which includes a long discussion of "giant pubic 'fros," the comedy prospects of "the male gaze," and actually ends with the advice "grow your bush out wide, tall, and proud."
ReplyDeleteMy favorite, though (on the CUSS front) was the discussion of the girls in Penthouse with their "pencil thin vagina moustache[s]."
Congratulations on starting a new life. WTF with Husband's insurance? That seems ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of stupid insurance, I am sure I mentioned that my partner's insurance would have covered me when we were living together if I'd been a man? For me to be covered as a woman, we had to be married. A gay friend said I should sue on civil rights/discrimination or some such, but while I was miffed, I also didn't want to discourage big conglomorates from providing benefits to same-sex couples . . ..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Suzanne! You can use our toilet any time.
