Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I quit drinking because even a little alcohol doesn't play well with my antidepressant, and the AD treats me better.
Smoke pot! Also, you should totally buy the antiquarian book business/home. I know where you could find a number of traveling visitors to help with organizing or dusting or cataloging.
An hour of weeding the frontyard = no visible difference. Sigh. But I am itchy and want to stop.
OK, just talked to my boss. We're both taking a 20% pay cut. Which sucks, but I have some savings and my car will be paid off in July. Plus I can cancel cable. So all-in-all, I won't be that much worse off.
He is hoping business will pick up again later so we can go back to our old salaries. It sounds like I'm in no danger of losing my job anytime soon. And he is supportive of the fact that I'm looking for another job and agreed to be a reference.
I told him he should sign up for LinkedIn as a way of networking and finding more business. (Plus he agreed to "endorse my skillsets" on LinkedIn.) I don't know why I didn't suggest this to him earlier.
Overall, I'm feeling a little relieved, plus less stressed-out now that I'm actively searching for work and will soon have a resume that I feel confident about.

I was saddened to learn that pot can depress the effectiveness of antidepressants. I mean, hypothetically I'd be sad if I were in that situation.
But some strains of medicinal pot are really good for anxiety and insomnia. That's what I've heard, anyway.

This happened at my company in 2009 when our industry imploded. We managed to hold on until things got better (helped by *lots* of our competition going under) and salaries could return to normal. I mainly felt bad that the recently hired production assistant got laid off just a few months after we poached him from the newspaper industry, but we did send some freelance work his way when we could, and I was prepared to give glowing references if he needed them.

Buggy whip manufacturers may be a dying industry, but there are still buggies, and they still need whips, so the last whip maker standing has the whole market. (Plus there are exciting non-buggy markets to explore.)
It sounds like you are positioned well for a difficult situation, tommyrot. Good luck!
I am discouraged about the general state of my life and don't know what to eat for lunch. Having something for the latter would probably improve my outlook on the former.
That sounds right, -t.
Ok, whatever's on top of the stack in the freezer it is!
I am done and home.
Before I got home, I asked mac if he wanted to go out for lunch, he said no. Then he asked if he could go over to friend's house, I said sure. So I run an errand and get myself some take out and I get home, he is still here and has he eaten? nope.
I have gotten a load of laundry in, taken the dog out to the yard and got myself set up in my chair with my lunch and the computer and NOW he asked me if he can drive there (I have to go with) instead of walking the like 9 blocks. UM NO.
