I wish my current gig let me run away offsite for even a little bit. Wrong area for it I reckon (smalltown Midwest)

Cool! Props to you, especially the dissertation!

Really I just yell at people and kick them into a bottomless pit. Who says project management isn’t fun?

I freaking love it. Highly recommended. The biggest message is that if you want to be a successful writer, you can’t just write YA fantasy and wait for the Big Novel to come by. You need to be willing to write anything for anyone, write often, and go out and look for paid writing work.

At the ones I frequent in town, I get gaggles of 7 college students collaborating on a project taking over three tables with their stuff, and almost all of them order only water. This drives me bonkers and now I know better, and now I meet folks only at sushi places because we always get a table.

John Scalzi has a book of essays about writing called “You’re Not Fooling Anyone By Taking Your Laptop to the Coffee Shop.” I love it and I want to buy my alma mater a thousand copies for all future writing majors and wish I had it when I went through it.

My service is just fine, and they’re the only company that will provide more than 6 Mbps to my address, but their billing practices and price hikes are of absolute gorramn legend.

Isn’t Shakeology sold by the same folks who sell P90X and 21-Day Fix?

There’s been a few bugs with certain institutions. For some reason I can’t get Chase to connect to save my life. Probably better that way though.

I did have one job where that was the only airline they’d send me to client jobsites with. Then they’d refuse to reimburse my fees expenses. Reminded me a lot of Roz from “Monsters, Inc.”

Blerg. I have to write some pretty precise language for my day job. So this was ... blerg.

This looks odd to me and likely was a “quick win” to show that they’re actually doing something where they can while the Committee of Commerce, Science and Transportation spins its wheels elsewhere.

And -20 points for every time an article uses ‘detox.’

“[this jumpsuit is] the only thing that fits me right now.”

This is annoying. Some things that I consider luxury brands aren’t included in the sale and the site wouldn’t accept the code

This looks like something from the old Harriet Carter catalogs I loved when I was a kid.

I’m sure I’ll change my mind if I move to a bigger city, but right now Google Maps has the advantage of, for my part, telling me what lane I need to be in, and holy crap that’s a lifesaver for me.

Godfuckingdammit I have had it with this state. First there was Fuckoff-Ryan, then Blagojefuck, Rauner-fuckface and now this.

We need to GTFO.
