Apologies

Apparently I have cranky and demanding readers who are insisting on more....so I am graciously acceding to these pleas.

It's been a little turbulent around these parts. I left the Museum at the end of March and frankly it was time for me to go. I had nothing to do and I was bored. I started my so called consulting thinking naively that I would actually have something to do or could bring value to the equation...Not to be so  I was lucky to have 6 months to get used to leaving a place that I had called home for 12 years. I watched the amazing trees outside my window go from full bloom to winter to full bloom again. Ok, slopping sentimental but I've always had great views...not necessarily great offices but great views to muse my time away watching.

So now I am the new kid on the block which is the Board of Ed. New people, new locations, new M.O's and just new everything.  Actually I was never entirely confident that this job wold come through and not entirely sure that I even wanted it although I interviewed with people that I liked. And that's one of the rules: Only work with people you like from the outset. But later you may discover that they are crazy and you are screwed. So then you leave.   I had a killer interview for the Board of Ed at the beginning of February and then started the last week of April or so. Amazing to me. I had some great job interviews along the way but this job was interesting to me. And they wanted me.

So I am learning everything I can. After 12 years at one place where you know all the people, all the procedures more or less...you are a known fish in a big pond then moving on can be exhausting. That's the word I have to use. I have no set office and so nobody knows where this team of professionals actually is. Oh, what's my title: I am the publicist for public school District 3 which runs from 59th street to 123 streets on the west Side. What am I doing? Riding the subway comes to mind immediately because I am traveling between 8 schools on the upper west side which is really quite an education to coin a phrase....

ok, more later cause n ow I have to go to school.
