Post a picture of your house, if it's as small as mine I'll eat my hat.

Did you go around correcting his grammar all the time??

Ahem. Her grammar.

No, I didn't. (Had I, there wouldn't have been enough time left to get a fraction of my work done.)

Bet you hate that I used 2 question marks.

I'll take that bet.

(I just saved President Obama one year of house payments!)

Better still, I'll send you my old hat (the one that had a horse spill concrete mix all over it, that went on three horse drives, and so on) and you can eat it.

Best of luck. Was this your primary occupation? You seem to wear many hats.

It was, alas.

Normally I do. This job had me commuting 140 - 150 miles round-trip every day, so I couldn't do some of the other things I love (e.g., teaching mathematics). If we can get some venture capital I'll have at least three more hours per day, so I can get more work done and have more time for the other fun stuff.

Two people here have already responded with some leads; the S2KI community is awesome!

On Friday, May 15, at 10:05 AM PDT, my supervisor informed me that my services as Level III CFA Curriculum Manager at Stalla were no longer required.

What's ironic is that I have gotten excellent reviews from students (and the Director of International Business Development & Instructional Management) on my teaching of the CFA Curriculum. I may well do considerably more teaching for Becker/Stalla in the future. Who knows?

At least it was easy to apply for unemployment on the internet. Now I have to see if President Obama will pay my mortgage.

BTW when you file for unemployment DO NOT use the word FIRED
