brown rice and black-eyed peas for dinner. Goya recaito really is just the easiest way to make beans taste yum. I decided that trying to cook right now was really just too much on my plate, so I am eating the few things I have already made (rice & beans) and then am buying whatever frozen things are on sale at the Super Target each week, plus some samplings from their frozen ethnic food selections.

Aw, my neighbor's tenants feel comfortable enough to ask to borrow a corkscrew. I'd told them if they ever needed anything to let me know, so glad to be of help. Plus, P got to meet Loki and discover he IS friendly (first time she met him, I was carrying him back inside as she was coming out, and it started him and he hissed at her and went all halloween cat. ) Of course, he showed HOW friendly and practically leapt into her arms. He always acts like he needs to go home with any taker.
...AND they just returned it with bonus piece of crumb cake!

Fresh from the oven, nutty nummy crumb cake. I like college students who like to bake!

I didn't get offered the Comcast customer service job, which was a part-time gig that would only net me around $260/week before taxes... so I can't get too worked up about it. Yet... I can't even get a goddamn customer service job?!

I'm sorry Theo. I'm not having much luck in this market either. I know lots of people are struggling to find work, on this board too.

Word, Theo.
Speaking of annoying, how about websites that ask you to upload your resume, then you have to type in all your info ANYWAY?!
UGH.
Also, I wrote a (I think) kick-ass cover letter for 2 hours, and then the stupid website didn't even ask for a cover letter.
GRRRRRR.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
87° in the house. Which is a comfortable temperature for me to be awake in. We'll see how things are when I try and sleep.
I called the pharmacy in case, against all odds, my whining had suddenly changed office protocol with my doctor.
Of course not.
A spoon, a spoon, my kingdom for a spoon.
Theo, how utterly frustrating. I'm so sorry.

Erin, that sounds like my day when I applied for my current job.
Sorry, Theo, that sucks.
