So, the good part is I have a very promising lead with one of the local nursing registries.
The bad news is that I can't commit to Faire: I've already been told that weekends are big. I still plan to make it out, but basically, I won't know if I have a shift any given day until the morning of. Once I'm out there I can just turn one down if it pops up later, but since registeries work on an as-needed basis, I won't be able to garuntee any kind of a schedule.
Basically, chance of real job > Faire at the moment. ><
