In Like with FCPS
Being in Rockville today with my boss, I forgot to mention Friday night: He and his family invited my parents, sister and myself over to his family's house for dinner. His 14 year old daughter cooked the whole meal! She is like an aspiring chef. The meal was pretty ambitious and while it had some flaws, I thought it was nice. It makes me forget that my boss is actually a friend of the family and it was nice to see the casual side of him and not the workhorse side that I've come to know well these days. And his two daughters are as charming as ever. I got to talk more to the other sister since she wasn't doing the cooking...she's thinking about applying to med school! It's amazing to see these kids grow into their own identities. And then the younger chef daughter had her friend Lindsay over, who I swear looked like a third sister! She was quite a ham, loved playing with my cell phone, and when we were just getting acquainted, asked me "So what's your story?" I pretty surprised, but I loved it.

How come I can catalogue books that are older than any living person but I can't do it with books that are younger than my 2 year old cat? I am lacking focus today with the new stacks.

At least I'm able to sneak in applications to other places. I like that I have a boss and working environment who knows that my presence there is temporary. My main target? Fairfax County Public Schools. I think that's where I want to be. We'll see if I can get anything.
