I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's probably more what I mean with financial services gigs. Feels pyramid schemy to me, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I got a lot of mass emails for insurance sales positions. Obviously they hadn't read my resume. I went on one interview, because I hadn't gotten the swing of it, and I couldn't believe the cattle call and the amount they weren't telling you about the gig.

I was pretty shocked at how much the one I went to resembled the direct sales orientation I'd had years before. Sadly, those ads make up the bulk of what I come across as open positions in Finance, though it does make a difference were I am doing the looking.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I have beer bread and lemon bread in the oven. The beer bread is made witn an IPA ( The IPA actually). Thinking about making another loaf for tomorrows breakfast, but might meas a different beer.

Could someone clean the kitchen? I tried convincing the cat, but it didn't work.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ha! The problem there is that the ad is calling for a "hard-working" person, and I believe I've demonstrated that I make the three-toed sloth look industrious.

They poo just once a week and do so little to clean their fur that they have algae growing in it. You have a ways to go, my friend.

I apparently was sharing a lane with a Matt Saracen doppleganger. Resemblance was freaky!

“I’m willing to go the distance for sloth” is one of the quotes in the BRQG.

I just emailed my two speed dating matches. Never have I obsessed so long over so few words.

That sounds about right. I'm sure they are good words.

Watching The Wizard of Oz on TBS. Mac has never seen it all, but we read the first 2 books. It's been a while since I've seen it, I'd forgotten parts.
