In which the lack of integration and the strange selection of available items is weird. Prime Now. It’s a thing where, if you live in a designated big city, you can order stuff from Amazon and have it delivered in a couple of hours rather than in a couple of days. The stuff arrives in […]
In which I freak out. Seriously. Not even kidding. I haven’t spent much time in chans or forums because they’re stupid, but even so I’ve seen countless nerds type “kill yourself” at each other, and sometimes it’s hilarious. In IRC it’s practically a tradition to tell chatters to go commit suicide — preferably immediately, by […]
In which there’s no recipe BECAUSE BREAD IS ENTIRELY fucking RANDOM! Whoo! IT’S ALIVE! This is one of those food blog posts in which the author bangs on and on about nothing and talks about her personal life, but there’s no recipe at the end so it’s technically not one of those posts, you know, […]
In which there’s a post about some things. I’m employed! I have a job. It starts on the 2nd of November. I’ll be doing call center work from home, probably for Comcast, dressed in my drawstring pants and t-shirts and not wearing a bra. I’m excited to have money coming my way again, so I […]
In which I talk about shit that happens on social networking! And about PEOPLE WHO ARE MAD ON THE INTERNET! And other meaningless irrelevant crap! In fact, don’t even read this. You should go giggle or meditate or get wine drunk or something. I make people mad on Facebook all the time. I frequently type […]
In which I cooked and cleaned all day yesterday! Over the weekend we visited Microcenter, where we purchased a monitor, a Toshiba Satellite, and a USB headset. The latter two items were for me, with the sincere hope that I’ll get a support job I’d applied and interviewed for, and for which my Asus wasn’t […]
In which there are verses. O foremost of men, listen to the merits and demerits, as we indicate, that respectively arise from associating with what is good and what is bad. As cloth, water, sesame-seeds and ground are perfumed by their association with flowers, so qualities are derived from association. Association with the fools produces […]
In which job hunting is pissing me off, or maybe bumming me out, or both. I get these emails with exclamation points in them from various temp agencies — well, there don’t really seem to be any temp agencies anymore as much as recruiters — telling me about jobs I may be suitable for! When […]
In which full availability is stupid and bad for everybody. When I worked at a 7-Eleven in my 20’s, there were shifts. There were day people, swing people, and graveyard people. Everybody had a regular schedule — you didn’t work the same days every week, but you worked the same shift every day, the shift […]
In which I complain for a long time about not being able to find a job I want (i.e. that doesn’t suck in pay or hours or location). Also, the right still believes in (the thoroughly debunked) trickle-down theory and it utterly baffles my mind. The decent little part-time office job continues to just not […]
