Kate makes a very good point. You are a good writer, Zen, lean into that.

The status is NOT quo.
Wow, I've missed a lot since I last skimmed/read. Support and vibes to Sophia, Zen, Maria, Dana, and anyone else who needs them.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am not making this up:
You know how I mentioned the current trend in my neighborhood's FB group is to take selfies with the lone small cart at Kroger and post them in the group? Someone talked to Kroger and our store is getting 50 new small carts AND -- again, I am not making this up -- Kroger is throwing a party at the store for us on Sunday.
This is the BEST THING EVER.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, fuck me, I think I have a fever. If I have the flu, I'm going to be pissed. And also unable to sing the concert on Saturday.

Steph that is hilarious! And awesome. I love the tiny carts. I usually end up doing my shopping with a basket and then wishing I had a tiny cart but not wanting the big cart.

Yep, fever of 100.3. Naturally, the urgent care closed 25 minutes ago.

I'm sorry, Dana.
Woo tiny cart party!
ETA it seems like the kind of thing Li'l Sebastian would make an appearance at

At my work, you rarely would be able to figure out who the hiring team is unless someone referred you; and even then, applications generally go into a pool (we tend to do hiring campaigns more than one-offs because budget cycle) & one hiring team might hand one off to another if they think it might be a better fit.
My last pool, for 4 positions in dev/ops/engineering triaged over 500 apps. First pass is resume for basic quals, then cover letters to filter those qualified on paper or whose experience interested us. And then it's like, did they read the crappy job description? Try to engage it? Something demonstrated that seems a good fit? Which is to say, cover letters are a crapshoot, just use your voice & hopefully it'll connect to a good fit.
I hate/love being on the hiring team. We found good people from our process. That I love. I hated knowing I probably rejected equally good ones.

Yesterday I took a small cart in to the store with me from the parking lot. They're the perfect size to do a week's worth of shopping!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks all. I am am trying to pace myself as it is better for me mentally to learn, but I don't have a time frame for reinspection by the city. I am technically living in a place that is not certified for occupancy. I also came to the conclusion tonight that I just have to let the estimator people see the full extent of the mess in the messiest room. I can't bag it all by Friday. I wish I had some idea of how much things might be. The online stuff says anywhere from $35/hr plus supplies to $20,000. Obviously I can't do $20,000! I would move!
