Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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

Thanks, guys. I offered all the recruiters I'm connected to on LinkedIn my resume (four grabs so far) as well as sent a goodbye note to my business users who think I'm one of maybe 3 useful people in the whole department, and the manager has agreed to be a reference for me (he was a reference for me for this job too...). Oh, and I tightened up my overlong resume.

I figure that's fair day 1 activity. Tomorrow? I guess I'll click on the LinkedIn job openings and do as much follow through as possible.

Jobma, for you, quester! I feel you about wrong jobs--I'm still the ADA work from home girl. I don't know how I'm going to work around that one--but I am looking at your link, lisah, for sure.

And happy graduation/transitions to all the wee ones.

I'm sorry to hear that, ita. You deserve better, but hopefully you will find better.

Me, I managed to soldier right through to happy hour, during which I drank a low-alcohol (but tasty) beer very slowly. And then I tried to get a Uber car, but the app didn't work, so I caught a bus home.

I am, apparently, hiding from a personal project I need to finish, but I think tonight is not the night for that.

Three full meals today! And a beer! So excite.

ita, have you ever looking into partial disability? Surely you've got enough medical history to get a serious hearing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, quester!

And I'm glad some of you people are on the mend!

Maybe meara's job is hiring -- they don't have offices at all, right? (I mean, not for her kind of crazy travelling job, but a job like what you do. Working from home is totally a thing now, is what I'm saying.)

Job-ma for Quester.

Praise Jeebus! My pass and key were buried on my desk. This should tell you something about the state of my desk.

Good news, Sue!

This is ridiculous, but I still can't figure out how to have my phone settings. I don't want the sound totally off, because I want to hear phone calls. And sometimes I appreciate the ding I get before appointments. EXCEPT every other Thursday, when I get a reminder about approving timesheets at 6am and it often wakes me up. OK, in the process of typing this, I went to see if I could edit the appointment, even though I didn't create it, and maybe I could! Check back in two weeks....

Yay, Sue!

ita, I'm so sorry about the job. I know some ed software places are looking for PMs, but they often require K-12 experience. Want me to forward them on?

Took a shower and got dressed and felt bad enough to take my temperature which is up a little bit, so I think actual sick day today. But what I was really coming to tell you is that I broke out the peppermint soap I got from my butcher and it smells surprisingly beefy. I mean, I knew it was made from beef tallow, or whatever it's called, but I didn't expect it to smell like steak with a side of peppermint. I don't think I like it.
