hey. you in the bushes.

big news!

after a month of me saying "please please please. but only if you have time. please. pretty pretty please...." erinroddy.com has had a serious overhaul. i finally got my act together and figured out what i actually wanted, and today i somehow made a cute enough face for jeff to put his homework down and help me make it happen. because he is awesome like that. and super cute, besides.

i'm kinda thinking about considering either looking into a masters program or maybe just taking some classes at one of the numerous universities in houston sometime. i found a job (at the museum of fine arts in houston) that i was literally drooling over, and the only requirements i'm missing are a few years experience in art conservation. now, i happen to believe that i possess this skill, but i really don't have any way to prove it without a degree of some kind or a job at a museum (which would most likely also require this same sort of experience...which really just isn't fair, but suppose necessary.) so. if you have any ideas of how i might be able to prove this, please let me know. or, if anyone has any ideas about how i might gain this experience without having to pay tuition, i would be much obliged. if i had been smart, i would've worked at the international photography hall of fame in okc when i had the chance. but obviously i'm not smart. "what do i need to learn conservation for," i probably thought to myself. ugh. THIS is why, erin. THIS.

also, the only reason i looked to see if the museum was even hiring for anything is because i was recently outed at work as a democrat (a.k.a. enemy). i've done so well at laying low since we've been here. and given my recent experience in dealing with the lovely combinations of day job + politics.... well, i'm just keeping my options open, that's all.
