Basically, I’ve learned the online job-hunting system is the most awful thing ever. Surprise! Turns out not much has changed from the unmitigated disaster the internet was back in the 90’s, and most job sites have zero consideration for the ease of use or clarity. Maybe it’s simply more frustrating for me since the job I’m […]
Unemployment: Too Much Work
Unemployment: Budgeting
Unemployment: Moving

Getting a little panicky, as I realized that since May is our last month in this house (and good f’ing riddance)…we should probably start considering looking for a new place.

Grapefruit Yogurt Cake (super tasty) Spicy Cocoa Roasted Carrots (meh, needs some tweaking) Hot Buttered Fluffy Pretzels (turned out surprisingly well) Spiced Black Lentils with […]

Is anything being accomplished? I had lots to work on today. Paying work. Of course, none of it was complete and it took forever to […]
