Told Mother I wasn't coming back

Dublin (Ireland), Earth, Sol System

I just sent a message to Mother.  Told her I wasn't coming back.  At least, not for a while.  It wasn't exactly easy.  I know I'll be missed.  But I know her: she'll be overcome with joy.

TSN was a great idea, but I need to find a job.  Cadet allocation isn't nearly enough for life on Earth, and I can't just live off the Colgans.

I think Yoraìn can probably find me a gig in one of the pubs where he's a regular.  It's either that, or something at the college.
