Scrappy, all for a union job! I was a cashier for a summer, I've had worse jobs—at least that one was easy to leave at home!

And Yay -t!!

Gud, if you have the stomach for it, job hunting is a good plan, just to see...I hate it and don't do it nearly as often as I should.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Scrappy, I worked at Whole Foods several times and would definitely go back if I needed to. I really enjoyed the customer service aspect of it: talking to different people every day and helping them meet a need. Not to say every interaction was gloriously fulfilling, but seriously, it can be a good job, plus it's nice to be able to leave it all behind at the end of your shift!

Gud, job-hunting when you don't actually need a new job is an interesting exercise in seeing what else is out there, which can help you figure out what you want from your current job if you decide to stay a while longer. (Says the woman who is currently house-hunting with no intention to buy yet -- it's just nice to know what your options are and to think about what your future might hold.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, union and benefits sound like real positives.

Job-ma to them that needs it and congrats to them that gots it.

Gud, sorry it's stressy at work but on the plus side...they need you. That's the best circumstance to be job-hunting from. Still employed.

Yeah. It's not a bad situation to be in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Forgot to have lunch. Oops. Fortunately, my body is emphatically reminding me now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Congrats, -t! (Not on the forgetting to have lunch, for clarity.)

I'm checked in for my flight tomorrow. I have finished my Christmas shopping, pending one delivery. I need to do laundry and pack tonight and not a lot else, which is good because I'm exhausted.

Oof.

So after my January appt, I'm following my hairdresser to her new salon (so much closer.) I have no loyalty to the old salon, though they took in all of her salon when it closed because of the Ellicott City floods. So I appreciate them for that, but I'm following her, because almost 20 years!

I know a lot of teachers also work at the Trader Joe's & local Ace here, so I'm thinking is isn't an unusual choice!

Congrats, -t!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats, -t!

Today's port was Costa Maya. We took a tour of Mayan ruins at Chacchoben. Tomorrow is Cozumel.
