I hope the antibiotics help, askye.
So I did dress up a bit, and I took a copy of my resume, and I have been pretty much been offered a full or part-time canvassing position where I go door to door and talk to people about refinery accidents. I'm going to go do an "observation interview" where I go along with an experienced canvasser and see what I think. It's one of those "minimum wage plus a percentage of the fundraising" jobs.
Pluses - if I'm good I can earn more, lots of exercise (walking), getting to see different neighborhoods and towns, refining my polite debate skills, learning more about oil refinery issues, weekends free, healthcare after 3 mos and 3 wks vacation after 6 mos. Minuses - work hours are 1:30 pm to 9:30 pm (not necessarily a minus, just a shift in schedule), dealing with potential hostility and unsuccessful days, etc.
I was frank about it probably being a short term position, and I'd probably do it part time so I can keep looking for fulltime work. He was cool with that, and one of the first things he said to me was that I was overqualified.
So, yeah. There's that! Probably wouldn't start until after HG is done here.
Historic Green (er, I think that's the name? smonster's gateway drug to New Orleans?)
Hunger Games ?
Ahaha. Coincidentally, the release of that HG is right after this HG ends. meara got it. So, either one, really.
Sounds like a good interim gig, smonster. And go you in finding something new in, what is is, a day after getting laid off?
Go, smonster for finding something so quickly! Continued ~ma for finding something long term.
Smonsters great! (sung to Bill Cosby "chocolate cake" bit)
Um. How do I clean a wooden table? Like, *clean* it.
I just had to help a cat clean himself up after a pooing situation went wrong, and of course he fled from my aid before I got a good grip on him, and he went across a table that I had neglected to put a cover back on. Sometimes I eat on that table. I'd like to be sure it's clean. But it's wood, and I've never had to sanitize wood before.
If Social Services ever inquires as to my mental health, nobody mention this.
Okay, I wiped it down, sprayed it with Lysol surface cleaner, and put the cover back on. Cat is hiding in mortification and fury.
Gluten free vegans. I have oats, cornmeal, soymilk, arrowroot powder, sugar, honey, raisins and various oils including safflower oil. Do I have the ingredients for gluten free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies? Since I'm not a good baker improviser, I need a recipe and most I've found need stuff I don't have. Oh, and I also have unsweeted applesauce, and canned pumpkin. If not oatmeal raisin, any other good (non-chocolate) vegan, gluten free cookies with on-hand ingredient? (I have most spices like cinnomon, nutmeg, ginger. I have lemon and lime juice and vanilla and so on.)
