Damn. I can't believe I missed "24".
Of course, I also can't believe I spent the whole morning preparing a cover letter and resume for a publishing job in SF only to learn that I had to apply with an online form. Grr. Aaargh.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle, that's no way for an ordinary day to go, much less your birthday. Either a do-over, or extra great rest of the day to fix the average.
Howling child in next apartment over. Oy.
I would like a job. This search process is slow. I've had at least one iron in the fire the entire time I've been unemployed, but my turnover rate is sorely lacking.
I wish I had anything to show for all the free time too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, the nice thing about free time is that you *don't* have to have anything to show for it. Can't really help with the wanting a job bit. You could come here and teach music or do engineering in the studio, heavens know there's more work in this bitty town than we can keep up with. Which is just odd.

I want to find out which foods spread brain worms, but that would involve researching brain worms, and the whole thing makes me fling my arms around in a "get away!" mode, which is not conducive to efficient Internet searching.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, when I was unemployed, I considered it a good day if I went for a walk.

What is even happening?
Connie, the culprit here was human cooks, already infested, who did not wash their hands after using the bathroom. It wasn't the food.
The article did cite pork as a meat to be especially careful with, that all meats need to be cooked thoroughly, and noted that fruits and veggies should be washed, but the real point was, "Wash your hands."

Now tagless for your comfort.
What I want to know is why aren't they chasing down the food carts that are spreading the scary brain worms????
Happy Birthday, msbelle!

Don't worry megan, there are two more hours of 24 on tonight.
And it's snowing here too!
I'm excited because they were predicting freezing rain and sleet. Snow is so much better.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Grrrr. The pilot light wont stay lit and so I've been freezing. I called the Gas Company, and they can't send anyone for two weeks.
So I said, "it'll be 80 degrees in two weeks, nevermind."
SO COLD.

Happy Birthday Msbelle!
My roasted chicken soup exploded in the microwave. I've never had that happen with chicken & rice soup or any other variation. Does the roasting process involve cordite?
