A Christmas Present?

Maybe there is a little Christmas magic in the air. I went to the job interview (for a 7th and 8th grade tutor) at the middle school yesterday and met with the person I'd be working with and then with the principal. Things appeared to go well and felt good, but they still have one other person to interview right after coming back from holiday break. The teacher said she'd let me know whether I get the position by Jan. 4. Sounds like something I'd enjoy, and she seems like a person with whom I can work well. The only drawback is that it is a long way from home. However, I don't have to go there everyday—just Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I have a computer to work on because I finally set up the Mac Mini that I bought my kids about a year and a half ago. I know now why I never set it up. It took four hours to get everything up and running. About :10 to take it out the box and wire the bastard together and another three hours ++ to work out all the issues with the wireless router network and multi-computer connectivity issues. Now all I have to deal with is the fact that my kids are fighting over who gets to use it first. When that happens, I just take it over myself—like am doing right now. I hope I can keep my kids from becoming little hellions over the next 14 days of Winter Break. Now that would be a real Christmas present.
