Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

Hey, jobseekers. Even though these job app ideas didn't work for this person, maybe they do have legs: [link] Just make sure the currency conversion is sufficient.

I'm looking at an announcement of someone's departure that's made "with mixed feelings" and I can't help but wonder...really? Can I ask about, you know, the whole mixture?

I can do this! Two and a half more hours of pain, I can do this.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Call the WC doc. That's how they know what $$ to give you.

Oh, is that the cost of being back in Texas?

"EBay feedback isn't a relevant reference." No, really? Heh.

I'm trying to revise my resume to look more real-property and energy-friendly, but ... argh.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, is that the cost of being back in Texas?

Possibly. This job would be a contract, so not forever. But I do have hourly work right now from my previous job, so I'm also not desperate.

Man, why did I think trying to identify the bug bite on my inner elbow by using the internets was a good idea?

My phone just realised I go to Walgreens a lot and asked me if I cared about that location.

I cried a little (no, I didn't) and said yes. This is reminding me that I need to go pick up prescriptions, though. CREEPY GOOGLE.

They've been doing that for years because people have been idiots for awhile.

No, actually. AND I'M NOT GOING TO LOOK. I was getting traumatized by pictures of arachnids/insects and bites and now I have phantom itches everywhere.

So I'm reading a quarterly review for one of my account teams and one of the items is employees nominated for various awards. There's one for a guy for outstanding Electrical Support and identification and remediation of electrical hazards.

And his name is: Sparkey W.
