    The Stumptown on 3rd is actually a universally persistent nexus of all times. Show up and we along with our chrono-echoes from every Wednesday past and future will be/were/will have been/are there.

    i bought ingredients to make overnight oatmeal/parfaits as part of a general plan to start saving money. it was about 3x the price of my usual breakfast routine, but seeing as how i haven't bought that stuff in like 2 months i'm willing to start afresh

    I had dark chocolate with bacon in it, and it was as underwhelming as I thought it would be.

    another job that Becca HUGELY qualifies for passed her by

    what the hell does someone have to do to get a job

    because every single theory has been thrown out the window by this point

    there's a smaller prospect that's going to talk to her tomorrow- it's nothing that reaches over 20ish hours a week, naturally

    Personally I think 70% is perfection. Any more than that is overkill.

    In my long stretch of unemployment, I hit a low-low-point, I applied for and got turned down for a shitty retail job and an even shittier fast food job; in hindsight, it was probably a blessing in disguise, but it was both baffling and insulting at the same time, so ...

    Fuck the Golden Arches and fuck Home Depot.

    Yeah, but I have this horrible addiction to food and shelter.

    I must be getting soft in my old age.

    You were probably overqualified.

    Also, infuriatingly, employers love to hire people that already have jobs.

    blergh spoiler
    Self care is realizing that the old coot I have for a neighbor is in fact unreasonable after coming home to a police complaint for noise despite the fact that my dogs have been inside for the past two months. And also finding out that apparently there's a pet license program, which is surprising since I've lived in this county for the past decade and have never heard about it until now. And probably would never have had a problem with if it wasn't for this.

    Self care is also deciding to move sooner rather than later because waiting for him to have a heart attack and go away is both mean and time consuming.

    I got some completely unnecessary parts for my PC so I have an excuse to tinker around with it. It's probably the equivalent of someone who has a workshop in the garage or something.

    I cleaned my sink, which was an Herculean task requiring the disposal of some of the livelier dishes. I never have food in my sink, just dishes.. but it had been left for a while.

    Anyway. I'm proud of myself. It's weird how the housework fluctuates with my self-esteem. Now to work on my own stuff for an hour or so...

    For self-care I made coffee at almost 8pm, and am going to play some video games. I can't decide if I want to play Crusader Kings 2 and continue my russification of northern europe, or creating the perfect soviet-themed dystopia in Tropico. Decisions decisions...
