That is a good point about unemployment eligibility, Theo. But a gamble at this point.
You will have my respect no matter what choices you make.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh god, the only job posted in the metro area right now is for a children's librarian, a position requiring a masters degree and 3-5 years of experience. Guess how much it pays? $17 an hour. Don't go into librarianship, people.
I make $16 and besides our Youth Services director, there is only one other full time person in our department. It's a brutal business. People ask me if I want to go back and get my MLS. I just cackle.
On the plus side, I get 30 hours a week, paid time off, get to play with lego, manga and read stories.
I love my job more than any I have ever had but it's a part-time gig for me and I came to it late and found a cushy position.

I have adulted today, doing grocery pick-up for the first time (not impressed—in addition to the expected toilet tissue outage they couldn't find Triscuits or store brand veggie pizza, which is ALWAYS in stock!) and speaking to my bank to compare the relative merits of various types of savings and checking accounts.
The reward appears to be that the calico kitten ran up toward me and let me pet her while she was snuggling against her dad with no food in sight. Kitten fur is the softest thing known to humanity!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Aw,Matt.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yay kittens.
we have had SO. MUCH.BARKING.TODAY! 1) it is garbage pick-up day so Bailey would be barking a bit more than usual, BUT I do believe she us remembering Miley and part of it is "HEY! HEY!". 2) If Bailey barks, Miley barks. 3) the contractor came by 4) the electrician is here working.
JUST SO MUCH TO BGARK AT.
Now, of course, when my workday is done - they are both asleep.

Because books.
flea, I wish you luck with the decision. Like Calli said, work is such a huge chunk of life, it really colors everything when it's infuriating every day.

Well into my second hour on the phone with IT support. This is so difficult.

How are you doing, Amy?

Yikes, that's a long time on the phone! Is it on hold or actually having to do stuff??
Flea, good luck. No helpful advice.

I cannot log into the network. My card appears to be corrupted, although I can get into webmail on it. Just not into the network as a whole.
Which means, since I didn't plan for being locked out, I have none of my files to work on.
Might be time for a nap, and maybe some baking.
