In which there are verses. O foremost of men, listen to the merits and demerits, as we indicate, that respectively arise from associating with what is good and what is bad. As cloth, water, sesame-seeds and ground are perfumed by their association with flowers, so qualities are derived from association. Association with the fools produces […]
In which job hunting is pissing me off, or maybe bumming me out, or both. I get these emails with exclamation points in them from various temp agencies — well, there don’t really seem to be any temp agencies anymore as much as recruiters — telling me about jobs I may be suitable for! When […]
In which full availability is stupid and bad for everybody. When I worked at a 7-Eleven in my 20’s, there were shifts. There were day people, swing people, and graveyard people. Everybody had a regular schedule — you didn’t work the same days every week, but you worked the same shift every day, the shift […]
In which I complain for a long time about not being able to find a job I want (i.e. that doesn’t suck in pay or hours or location). Also, the right still believes in (the thoroughly debunked) trickle-down theory and it utterly baffles my mind. The decent little part-time office job continues to just not […]
In which there’s a recipe from my grandma. I came across the image below from a few years ago, remembered how really delicious that frosting was, and realized that I have no idea how to make old fashioned frosting. So I googled it. Weird results. (I mean, I’m off carbs right now, but it’s unlikely […]
In which OMFG WHO EVEN ARE THESE PEOPLE. With the very, very few exceptions of one or two small businesses looking for help, the job market is now a shitshow of fake work-at-home pyramid schemes, horrible poverty-level drone jobs, and weird demands to “call in for application instructions” or “apply in person, but not during […]
In which I’m all about the neighborhood. I’m an Uptown girl! After a full month, I think I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not that I’m stupid and missing something, it’s that there really is nowhere to put our remaining stuff. It has to go away somehow, or get packed into the basement storage […]
In which there’s some crap I more or less stumbled across online. Today I came across a site that told me that some stupid product for women to wear under tight clothing — Camel No — IS THE WORST THING EVER AND SHAMES WOMEN AND IS ANTI-WOMAN AND ANTI-VAGINA. Because obviously the woman who developed […]
In which sometimes you just don’t want to turn on the damn oven. I had intended to pop over to the grocery store this afternoon, but by the time I was ready it had started raining and has been raining ever since. So I had to make something with what I had, so macaroni and […]
In which I don’t think I got the job. Well, it’s Wednesday afternoon, and I haven’t heard back from the CU. Pretty sure they offered both of their lovely P/T teller positions to other applicants. I’m sad, because I really wanted to be able to live and work 600 feet apart, and have regular hours, […]
