I felt like I barely survived my Life Sciences course, so I was surprised to discover that my final grade was a B+. I consider this quite an accomplishment considering I was afraid that I might not even pass the class. In all honesty, I didn’t do my best work in that class and put forth perhaps 75% effort (thanks to work-related stress and subsequent illness), so naturally, I expected a grade in the 70-something percentile. Of course, I’m not complaining and am delighted to have received the B+.

My current course of study is a communications class, focusing on communication in the virtual workplace. Needless to say, it has whet my appetite for finding a job that would allow me to telecommute. It made me nostalgic for the days in the early 90’s when I was fortunate enough to be a “virtual employee” and had the pleasure of working from home and being able to do business in my pajamas for nearly a year. Job duties included chatting online, monitoring discussion boards and games, handling payments/credits, and tech support. (For real!) I seriously need a job like that again, especially if/when we ever have children. I would like to be a stay-at-home mom and still be able to bring home a portion of the bacon, as the cost of living in Hawaii is ridiculous and surviving on a single income is nearly impossible.

Anyone looking for a good virtual employee? I’m your woman!

Okay, back to reality.
