An Honorable Profession

Well, I got a job.
Yesterday afternoon I received a call from a tutoring agency that I had interviewed with, and they offered me a position as a writing and reading tutor. They are a start-up company, and work won't begin for a few weeks. I am also unlikely to get many hours. But my hourly rate is excellent, and now I have something to look forward to, which makes the days seem a little less endless. I'm still hoping for something more, but it's a good start, a very good start.
