Excuse me while I deal with these allergies.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Oh, god, Sue, I was just coming to post that. Talk about allergies. Brutally honest.
Here's something more life-affirming: Lessons from a dog.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Consuela, how much of a gap between jobs are you financially OK with? It might be nice to think of a gap as a break.
OMFG you guys. I did make it out to the store, except: there was a huge puddle in the street not even halfway home, and multiple cars ZOOMED through and got me wet from head to toe, including the paper grocery bag. Luckily, I made it home before the bag completely disintegrated, just barely. But I am aggravated! Especially because I think I should wash my hair again, due to puddle water. I just washed it this morning!

Yeah, except I want it to be MY gap, chosen because I've set the date for my new job to start. Not because I just don't have a new job. That kind of gap isn't restful at all, you know?
In other fabulous news: [link] My favorite bit is how the Oakland PD has one part-time investigator for over 10,000 burglaries a year. According to another article I saw yesterday, Oakland's robbery/burglary rate is the highest in the country. Three times higher than in Richmond.

Well yeah, I do. The summer after I got fired, even though I knew pretty quickly I'd be going to grad school in the fall, I had to work to make it close to a vacation. I was pretty depressed, though.

I almost don't blame them, because what else were they going to do? But STILL.

Drive more slowly through a huge puddle?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I just saw an ad for FarmersOnly.com, a dating site aimed at farmers and ranchers.

I first heard about Farmersonly.com on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
They pointed out that, not only do that have a very niche client base, but also a groovy jingle.
It really is quite catch.
