food blog returns: halloween candy meltdown (literally)
so i was really aggravated last night. we just had a major reset done in the cheese department, and i was focusing on the case, figuring out what i should cut. there was some chocolate that i needed to deal with and my big, pretty display i built a couple months ago got pulled down… Continue reading food blog returns: halloween candy meltdown (literally)
simplifying things, cutting off painful extremities
so last week, erin and i decided to cut off iFreelance for good. we’ve gotten a good run on Elance and we’ve only really gotten 1 fix-it job on iFreelance, the interface isn’t as good, the support and payment isn’t as easy (for either party) or well developed, and the jobs are fewer and tend… Continue reading simplifying things, cutting off painful extremities

pointy like my eyeball

so, today is my last day with albertsons. thus concludes Operation GTF Out of ABS. there’s a major safety net that is being removed by this transition. stability, decent insurance, a steady paycheck, a moderate, but highly middle class salary. what’s coming in its’ place is a low-paying (comparatively) P/T job and an unsteady, self-motivated… Continue reading ohgodohgod
