Given the levels of general angst that have been floating around lately, it seemed to me that having an open thread would not be amiss for our community. So here it is:
WYFP Midweek Open Thread is our community's chance to blow off steam from our jobs, our job searches, empathize with one another, and share advice, pootie and woozle pictures, favorite comfort foods and decadent desserts, and anything else that we think might help. Everyone and all sorts of troubles are welcome. May we find peace and healing here. Won't you please share the joy of WYFP by recommending?
If work is driving you crazy, or the job search seems never-ending, drop in and let us know how you're holding up.
In my case, the job-hunt seems never-ending and really futile. I stopped by a local veterinarian's office in response to their help-wanted ad earlier this week to fill out an application as an assistant. There were half a dozen women doing the exact same thing. The girls at the desk said they've been slammed with applications. They've only one position.
But it was a good sub day, and the sun came out after yesterday's storms, so things are OK. Violet and I have obedience class tonight, and I'll be back in later this evening. How's life treating everyone this week?
(And a quick reminder on the calendar seems appropriate, too:
