Thanks for clarifying! Good luck with all the writing, to be sure.
As for the icon, no, you wouldn't get it without some explanation, so no worries! It hails back to the heady days of 2004 on the Bartlet4America West Wing forum, wherein a twit by the name of jivadent went on at great length about how teaching was the easiest job on earth because you needed no brain whatsoever, which was good since all teachers were, by definition, quite lazy and relied on the magic books with all the answers given to them by their schools. Needless to say, this went over, as my mom would say, like a pregnant high-jumper with the many teachers on the board. While we were giving him substantial pieces of our minds in response, the board owner made up icons for those of us who were on LJ. So it's definitely an in-joke, but fortunately one that I don't think is impossible for other folks to get! :)
