adorbs!

This is my kitty, reacting to hearing bag pipes on TV :

I’d settle for a biopic of Jackie Cochran, who was fundamental in establishing the WASPs in WW II (talk about hard-drinking female pilots...) http://www.wingsacrossamerica.us/wasp/bio_cochran.htm

when I was a student, I LOVED the way dittoes smelled! Aaaand now I have this song in my head.

Yeah, I think I’ll skip the gel manicure.

Thanks. I may pass on a gel manicure, i didn’t realize they were bad for nails

Thanks! I’ll try Nailtiques. Agreed on the SH InstaDri

Questions about gel manicures: are they worth it? How long do they last? My nails peel and break, would a gel manicure prevent that? And does it take a long time to remove the gel? Thanks in advance

Buy a Roomba, it will be worth it! Maybe close some rooms so the dog can’t shed everywhere.

Thanks! I will do my best

Thank you! And I would never take money from charter schools or groups pushing for them

Thank you!

The special project must be outsourcing jobs to lower paid contract employees. Good luck with the job hunt. If you are applying for jobs outside your degree area, try a skills-based resume format. Don’t get discouraged, the right opening is just around the corner.

Thank you!

Fika is my favorite Swedish word and custom.

If you need help, reach out to your colleges career resource center, or your local unemployment office. Do practice interviews if you can, if you need a confidence boost. Do NOT be ashamed to apply for unemployment. I did not apply the first 2 times I was laid off, and should’ve, it would have made things easier.

It sucks to be laid off, but it sucks even more when it’s out of the blue like that. I’ve been laid off three times (all in my 20s), and the Surprise!pink slip was the worst. It was a terrible job that made us miserable, but we were all bummed when our office was shut down.

If you are nostalgic, NBC is streaming Amazing Stories.
