Time flies, and flies, and flies.
South korea had martial law for a few hours, before (from what I hear) parliament members hopped a fence to vote against it. Military was going to ignore that, but then the president gave up too. Oops?
In less worldly news, I got a job. It's doing before and after school programming at the local elementary. I can see the issues in the organization but I'm not paid to fix all of that. I'm hoping I can just keep my head down and work there for long enough for it to be worth being on my resume. It's a split shift, so it comes out as more tiring than it really is, but I do get to take a midday nap with it, so...
I wish I was more optimistic, but I guess i'm still upset about how my degree didn't let me get a job in my field. Even a trash entry level.
Thanksgiving was fine, miss my family. I got paid a day early so I was able to afford food for it instead of having to serve canned chili and ice soup. Partner's dad bought meat and that was nice. I made chicken tortilla soup with the cornish hen he froze. It came out really good, and limes were a stunning 15 cents each.
I'm not super talkative today, but I wanted to update.
Oh, read Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke. It was good enough to finish, but it felt a lot like missed potential. I think the commitment to slack messages only removed the chance for character depth to appear. It felt mostly like an extended Home Safety Hotline plot. Also I just got personally frustrated by how unsympathetic all the people were, but that's slack and work I guess.
