I appreciate the well wishes! The kids are awesome, but going through their papers can be mind numbing at the very least xD 

That's the spirit! There have been so many jobs I got passed on, but the one I ended up getting was normally exactly what I was looking for(which, funny enough, is how I got to the position I'm at now!) 

Oh man, I hear that. I used to live in New York City, so bus routes were a familiar source of contention. I also hear that the U.K. driving test is SUPER hard. Is that the case?
