    I'm there, and yet not where I would like to be. At Harper Collins, but as a volunteer. 2 years ago

    I would like to do my own dictionary. So I have begun two: one of English, and one Chinese to English, English to Chinese.

    3 January 2006: working and incorporating to resolutions 3 years ago

    Am still reading and trying to read the entire Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.

    And I’m supplementing it with entries I get from other sources, such as Oxford, Collins, and others.

    blowze

    n. a slovenly or sexually immoral woman. [of dialectal English originally]. Example sentence: “Keeps a blowze and beats his spouse.”

    Collins accepted my entry of "wolf-rat" to their Living 4 years ago

    Dictionary! Hoorah!

    Now I’ve gotten two in there: wolf-rat and badabing!

    I've got some credits from University of Maryland 4 years ago

    And one of the things I’ll need to do is get all my credits on one transcript. These people have many programs, including a degree program in English language, which might well serve my goal to be lexicographer.

    Collins accepted a word which I submitted! 4 years ago

    Which was “BadaBING!”

    It wasn’t in the dictionary, but I’ll think they’ll be including it very soon.

    However, it’s still not a paying job, and I still don’t have my credentials.

    Got to do that financial aid form. Tomorrow I start. At least I’ll start, early after breakfast.

    As I approach the transition from warehouse worker back to teacher 4 years ago

    I’ll start to review the course catalogues again, for GSU, AASU, Southeastern Tech, and Savannah State.

    I sent my resume' and cover letter to Harper Collins. 4 years ago

    I sent it through Yahoo Hotjobs Resume maker.

    Now I should look into programs in universities which may help me with this goal.
