First some housekeeping: I have decided to try to update this blog on Wednesdays. Obviously, sometimes life gets busy and whatnot, but I will update by the time I go to Shabbat on Fridays.

I had pretty much settled into my life now, my life as a not working, not going to school person. I am so busy, too! I have this blog, learning about Judaism, my LWV meetings, going to all my appointments and getting my son to his, all the house stuff, and so on and so forth. Many things.

But now my township is looking to appoint a new fiscal officer. The old fiscal officer has become a trustee, there is now a vacancy. My friend works as a fiscal officer for a larger township. She says she works about 30 hours a week. She and I did some investigating, and my township will pay around $23,000 a year for the job, more than I have ever made (I have not been a good moneymaker this lifetime).

I have made a pros and cons list and it is even. So I am going to apply and see what happens. Me, a maybe someday elected official! Can you imagine?
