What about seasonal retail, smonster?
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

{{{smonster}}} I'm sorry that things are so tough right now. I hope you can figure something out that works for you.
My uncle, the one with the recurring collapsed lung is back in hospital again. The lung isn't completely collapsed this time, but it needed to be hooked up to a machine again. Can I get some ~ma for him and some sanity~ma for the rest of the family? Everyone is under so much stress.

No retail experience, either! How the hell I got this far without waiting tables or selling stuff, IDK. I was a grocery store cashier once.
Breaking news, Craigslist is depressing. So many scams.

P. just advertised a barback position at the Pub. Don't think you need bartending experience, just be good at carrying kegs and washing glasses, I think? Let me know if you're interested and I can see if I can help at all.

Saw that on fb, thanks Nora. I am not sure I can carry a full keg, actually! Lemme think on it a day or so and I'll let you know.

smonster you've got experience working with people and that's important in retail. Retail is not the most exciting thing but it never hurts to apply. Working a cash register is fairly easy.

I have drunk EmergenC instead of coffee this morning. I am worried the tickle in my lungs is going to become real. NOOOO!

Hoping it's a false alarm, meara.
I had something nasty early last week and while worst GI symptoms are gone (and were gone in a day or two), I still am dragging serious ass and keep waking up queasy, which my train ride only exacerbates. It seems to pass with food, but it's also doing a number on my appetite in the morning, so it's a bit of a vicious (not viscous, as I first typed, at least not anymore) cycle.

I've been productive - woke up even earlier. Got up and once things were open went to the yarn shop to get help. Although I've now made a mistake on another project, but that can wait until knitting group tomorrow.
Then went to the grocery store and did some dishes. I had visions of actually a bunch of stuff but I'm sleepy and even with clean dishes I need to clean up the kitchen.
Also Will and I ordered Ticket to Ride and Munchkin (my cousin said he and his son play it as 2 player) as early xmas presents and they got here!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Ticket to Ride is great. I only ever played Munchkin Cthulhu (there are a lot of versions of Munchkin), but it's a LOT of fun.
