I wasn't going to wear a jacket this morning to work, but I just looked at the weather, and according to the weather channel, it's going to be cold and rainy, today. Better than snow.

Sciencewoman was intrigued by the science here, so I had to google dysecdysis. Not too bad. Then I googled snake ticks. OMG...a bunch of pictures of this poor Australian snake with about 200 ticks popped up. Fortunately, it was treated, but I cannot get this image out of my mind. You deserve an award, CG.

Warning: Do NOT google snake ticks. You'll be sorry....

I have come up with the perfect idea for an online company... but have no idea how to even get it started. Instabitch.com You submit problematic situations and I come up with witty, sarcastic comments for you to keep in your arsenal. It's the only idea I have for my career as a professional smartass.

I'm in the same boat. I'm half-way done with my masters and still unemployed. I'm applying for everything, and had one interview that was a total waste. That's why I think I should become a professional smartass. There has to be a market somewhere. LOL

LOL.

Some professions are more difficult to find employment than other professions. Have you utilized the school's, GLO's, and professional organization's (if you're a member of any) career services and networks/contacts?

Good luck to you both.

I'm at work now, and it's slow. Hopefully today won't be like Thursday.

I am decidedly NOT googling snake ticks. I did that with MRSA once and was really sorry. Maybe there should be a thread of what not to Google

Woo hoo! My upgrade to Frankfurt came through. And it appears the seat next to me is staying empty.

Perfect Saturday afternoon: boozy brunch, nap in the park. Now, I'm watching Family Feud until I fall asleep for nap #2.
