In which I fill out paperwork (again)

I had to renew some paperwork for a temp agency I'm signed up for. The only reason I did it was because it was less than half an hour to get there. I've been registered and updated with them for over a year and I've never received an assignment from them. However, I can't say I'm trying everything to find a job if I'm not. So off I went to watch inane safety videos and fill out the same paperwork I did last time. On top of the temp agencies I'm with, I also apply to every online job I see that I'm in the least bit qualified for. I hate job hunting so much. I haven't had reliable work since May.

Here are some pictures from the snow we got the other morning.

In which I won't censor myself (much)

As I've been jumping here and there through the blogosphere I've been noticing something more and more. It's the "trigger" or "content" warnings a lot of people have at the top of their posts, or sometime both at the top and interspersed through it. I'm fed up with this age of political correctness. So many people are constantly getting butt hurt over every little thing. Have people already forgot how to Internet? You can't take this world of opinions, misled facts, and just plain idiocy seriously. If you've entered that realm of being so easily set off into a self loathing/harming spiral, seek help. Now. Get off the computer, and stay away until you're able to handle things. There's a giant, amazing world out there. It's actually full of mostly decent people. However, the Internet isn't.
So, if I want to talk about drugs, sex, religion, politics, how I can't find jeans for skinny people anymore, how much I hate reality TV "stars", how amazing my dogs are, or yes, even say retarded, I will. There will be no caveats, no head's up. Before long we won't even be able to make eye contact with people for fear of offending them. Nope, not me. You do whatever you want, but don't you dare tell me what I should put out into the world.

On a different note, here's a pretty sunset from last night.

In which I miss a day.

Oh well. I just didn't much feel like writing anything yesterday. Today was mostly spent calling my temp agencies and putting in applications. No word yet on any possibilities. We got out first appreciable snow this morning. An Arctic front moved in a left us with less than an inch. Most of it is long gone. It will be a while before the snow sticks. For the first time the dogs didn't much seem to care about the snow. I guess they were unimpressed.

In which Fall is turning to Winter

Being as I live in New England, we can sense fall half way through August. For the most part, everyone is in denial about it. However, you can tell people are thinking about it. They look up at the sky more, people start going outside more out of obligation than enjoyment, the weather forecasters start emphasizing any and all great upcoming weather days, etc.
Now that it's the second week of November, the crappy weather has fully edged its way in. That doesn't mean there won't be nice semi-warm days. There will be. They'll just be tinged with the knowledge that it could snow the next day. I made sure I got outside earlier in the day as it was starting to look cloudy. I took the dogs on their usual walk down my road. It's a dead end street by a reservoir. It's a nice, albeit windy walk. The dogs love being off leash. Right before going back inside I noticed this little guy.

Thankfully the dogs didn't notice. It wouldn't have stood a chance. So now we're back inside, laundry is being done, the floor's been swept, trash picked up, and I wait for another week of job searching.

In which nothing much happens in a year.

Hello,
I know no one reads this, at least not yet. It's been over a year since I've posted. Not much has happened. I'm still looking for a full time job, I've been to a few weddings, I took a trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons, and worked a few temp jobs. I worked for 5 months as a admin, did some data entry, then two more months as an admin. I'm still looking. Again. It's been a long and confusing year, with limited progress.
