I required pie. Fortunately, that requirement has been met.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray pie!
I can see how that would rankle, Jesse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not like I've done any work myself aside from several meetings this morning. I just did a copy-and-paste task I really could have delegated, but figured I was better off doing that than doing nothing...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Welp, rejected for the most recent job I applied/phone screened for, damn it.
Already had pie for lunch.
Did NOT expect this rejection to lead to actual factual ugly crying, but apparently I am out of cope.

Ugh, I'm so sorry, Plei.

Job-hunting is such a demoralizing task.

I'm sorry Plei.

Last time I had to job hunt, I had padding because I'd been laid off from an FTE position and got a package. This time, there's no padding at all (in large part because of huge medical expenses) and I'm far less optimistic about my prospects than I was when I started out last time.
I mean, I had suffered from the delusion that 7.5 years at a major company and a decent-sized network would help me get something decent and that particular delusion has long since vanished in the face of the realities of a niche skillset.
So I guess it's time to pull the trigger on Operation Sell the Car and then pay off as much of my remaining personal debt as I can with whatever proceeds I get. Pity. I love that car.

Job-hunting is terrible. It's like having a job you hate and not getting paid for it and also carrying around a giant ball of stress. Extreme sympathies, PMM.

Job hunting is like constantly inviting people to kick you in the crotch.
