Thank you all so much, Mary, your story is hysterical, I would laugh out loud, but I think I will snigger instead!

There are good and bad things about teaching at Community Colleges. I have taught at both CCs and 4 years. At CCs you get a wider diversity of students and I like that. At 4 years you tend to get better prepared students and I so do not like to have to teach basic-essay 101 while also teaching whatever course material I have actually been hired to teach.

Have you ever seen those big red buttons that you press and they say "Easy" or "No Problem" or something like that? I have always wanted one that erupted in a loud snigger. I can imagine all kinds of places where I would hit that button.

I am a Cattle Rancher. First and for most.

I also raise registered cattle and show them.

I also am a published author of Non-Fiction and Western/Mystery/Romance.

I also have a horse boarding facility. I am also an equine appraiser.

And I am a Livestock Evacuation Cordinator. So if a horse or some other livestock animal is in danger of fire or other disaster I rescue them.

I travel around to different counties and states and put on 4-H clipping, fitting and showing clinics.

I am very involved with the local 4-H and Cattlemen's association.

I am the invaluable CEO of a well-known publishing house and a world-famous writer who has sold over 100 books. My books have sold a billion copies worldwide...

...I wish.

Unfortunately, I am actually just a penniless college student aspiring to be a writer of fiction and a high school English teacher at the same time.

:indian: I just love this smiley.
