In which I like social media, and I don’t care who knows it. First of all, I am a Sprint customer. Second of all, my contract’s up for renewal, which means I’m finally eligible for a new phone and I just got my tax return so maybe I could splurge a little and get a […]

In which another country’s dictator tries to disconnect it from the world. Have you been paying attention to Libya? (And Bahrain? And Yemen? Algeria?) Well, it disappeared from the Internet tonight: “Renesys confirms that the 13 globally routed Libyan network prefixes were withdrawn at 23:18 GMT (Friday night, just after midnight Saturday local time), and […]
In which there are two good things. Good thing the first is that yesterday I signed an NDA and a contractor’s agreement and filled out a W9, and Monday I start breaking software for money. Yay! I know no details at all about the project’s expected longevity, but who knows – I might get lucky! […]
In which there might suddenly and unexpectedly be EMPLOYMENT. Right now, I’m literally doing nothing but waiting for school to start in five weeks. I’m drawing EB, and my worker retraining application was approved so I’m not even job hunting, and I applied at WWCC and for financial aid months ago so I don’t even […]
In which I complain about living in a state with a 9.1% unemployment rate. I just read a job listing at WorkSource. The job is called PT ORDER ENTRY SPECIALIST II. The description says, and I quote verbatim, The FT Order Entry Specialist II will check accuracy of and enter orders for equipment and parts, […]
In which it is July the 7th and I haven’t left the house all damned day. Okay, first of all, NLW hired me to do some data entry for her AND the Ritzville blues festival gig is this weekend, so I’ll be able to buy foodz, like refried beans and tortillas and stuff, which is […]
In which I’ve completed phase one of the Back To School project. A week ago I went to a training benefits meeting at WorkSource, and they gave me an application to fill out. In the last week I did just that, then attached about 17 pages of appendices, applied to WWCC and for financial aid, […]
In which I tell you about my weekend. And the crazy fluctuations in my state of mind. (Seriously, watching your mind do whatever it does is EVER an exercise in weird.) Friday night I went out and got drunk for no good reason. I hadn’t intended to get drunk, but I was sitting at the […]
In which I just got out of a great interview. (And the gig is only a mile from my house! Guess who can walk or ride a bike to work if she gets hired!) OMG OMG OMG I might soon be gainfully employed! In my industry, even! The hiring company is called Integratechs; the gig […]
