Plei, I have come to the conclusion that the recruiters in our area (geographic and industry) are just ... kinda meh. There are so many candidates for any particular position that they can just haphazardly throw people at job openings and not do much else.

Yeah, pretty much.

At this point, I wish I had a ghost writer for cover letters. Life would be so much simpler if they just wrote themselves.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would lean toward twentyish for the direct reports, but I think that may be part of ATM brainwashing to think of $20 as being the standard for everything.

Yeah, that's fair. I don't want it to seem like nothing, but also not like I think it's Significant, you know?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

$20 is enough to get a nice-not-cheap dinner.

Took Chumley to the V E T, vet tested his blood sugar twice and it was 114-116. Perhaps the cat is trying to gaslight me. But he got a urine sample and blood for testing, so we will see. He IS down .75 lb since his visit in October, so that may be significant.

Next, I'm off to a practical interview for Instacart where I do a shopping exercize for a trainer.

Hard to imagine I've spent months of days where nothing much happened. Suddenly everything is happening at once.

I lugged my last bag of change to the Coinstar machine. It was a giant bag of pennies. Over a thousand pennies. Now I can check that off on my To Do list and not let the penny situation happen again.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Last summer I gathered up all my change I had laying about and ended up with $200. (It took five years to accumulate.)

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

I just switched three credit card bills over to paperless. I am excited about all of the paper I'm going to throw away.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Got Hanukkah gifts for my parents while I was at Macy's for socks. Now I don't need to step foot in a mall for a while.

After dinner I am making a cheesecake for Gary's birthday party, which is tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just used every possible offer I had from Sephora after not shopping there for at least a year, and got a crapload of stuff for not as much money as they would have hoped. Mostly my mother's Christmas gift.

Wow. You win the coin hoarder battle by a landslide.

Jesse, I am totally going there this weekend because they sent me a $15 coupon.

OK, y'all, I need help with a present for my sister. She's...uh...a lot like me. She likes books. She likes coffee (but I'm getting her husband coffee stuff), normally I get her some nice makeup and a Sephora gift card, because it's something she enjoys playing with but might not spend money on otherwise. But I feel like I've done it a bunch...she also will, starting Monday, have a 3 year old foster kid living with her. Help? (Oh, price range around $50)
