To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

My hairdresser who owns the shop, stopped taking appointments last year to focus on running the business. So, I started seeing someone else at the salon, who was okay but not as good. Now my hairdresser is taking limited appointments. So, I made an appointment with him for Saturday, and I'm feeling a little guilty, but I shouldn't, right?

With our division being sold, the holiday spirit is rather muted at my office. Sounds like some people may not be coming along to the new company. Probably find out next week.

Remember that scene in Officespace where people had to basically interview for their current job? It was sort of like that. Pretty sure I'll still be around since I'm the only person who knows how to do what I do and it's pretty critical, but all the uncertainly is no fun. I was feeling pretty down about it last night and that made my wife kinda angry which made me feel more down so my holiday spirit is pretty much non-existent.

It also means I'm kinda, sorta job hunting. I'm not a fan of job hunting in general and doing it when I'm not sure I want a new job is weird. If I did take a new job I'd feel kinda guilty as I'd leave people I like in a bad spot.

OTOH, Job hunting is giving me an excuse to work on my podpup podcast listener on github. I just released version 0.0.3 which is a vast improvement on the last one. I'd call this one the first actually usable version. I mean, it's still pre-alpha, but it's now what I use to listen to podcasts with on my computer.

No guilt for either of you! Dammit.

Gud, there is nothing wrong with job hunting, even if you're not sure you want another job. It's good to know what your options are.

Ha, my low key whining yesterday worked better than I could have hoped - I am promoted to Senior Business Analyst and get a raise. So that's nice.
