Department of Unanticipated Events December Newsletter

[rolanni]

I have been offered -- and accepted -- full-time employment at a top-ranking New England liberal arts college. I'll be starting just after the first of the year. While this is not an entirely Unanticipated Event (I did, after all, apply), the swiftness and enthusiasm with which the position was offered was certainly unanticipated.

There's not a shawl/shrug/snuggler/cozy to be had in this town for under $50.

I won $100 from the local paper for filling out a survey back in November.

Also? Fledgling is now funded through Chapter 10.

But! The most Unanticipated Event was (cue drumroll).....

This morning I met Mrs. Claus at the Unity Post Office. She was checking for letters to Santa in the Special to the North Pole mailbox, and confided to me that so far this year she's answered seventy letters on behalf of Himself, who is of course very busy at this time of year...

Concrats! At which Liberal Arts College will you be working?
One would assume that you will be teaching something about writing or language arts, but one would not wish to invite that sort of wrecklessness. SO, Do Tell the Details!

On your second note, one should commission the making of such an article; from one who works such miravicles. (I miss-spelled that, but left it. I like the way it sounds)

Only seventy letters to the grand olde Elf? My how things do change.

Cratulations again!!

Congratulations. Hope it turns out to be a lot of fun. I'd like to second (third?) the requests for comments about what sort of courses you'll be teaching.
