DigiPen

It looks like I've managed to land a permanent second job if I want it. DigiPen wants me to come back in the Fall, and in fact they'd really like me to teach a full course. Not sure that I'm quite up to that just yet, but it's something to work towards doing I think. I've always had teaching at the college level as a retirement occupation in the back of my mind, and it's nice to find out I might actually have the aptitude for it.

The trick right now is to manage the commitment requirements given my somewhat random travel schedule at work. It helps that their semester schedule doesn't start until September, after my now crazy-ass August event schedule at work. The extra money is nice for doing stuff on the house, I find the idea of being simultaneously a Microsoft and Nintendo employee (DigiPen is owned by them) perversely amusing, and I have access to the Nintendo company store.

As [livejournal.com profile] jeliza says, I do need a new hobby now that I've toned down the gaming habit.

It is a bit strange being at a college, however. I don't feel like I'm three years away from my 40th birthday, but when I'm there I see those 20-something year olds and think "damn, they're babies."
