Got a call back from the bank job… literally used the words “we went with someone with more experience.” Honestly… it makes me wonder. Lets discuss life as though fate existed… as though the con...


When I talk about how Iowa Politics has effected my outlook on certain things; I struggle to put it into perfect perspective sometimes. Luckily, Facebook Memes can do that for me:


Sometimes… I feel like I’m the height of bumbling incompetence. lol. I seriously can discuss, think in the abstract, theorize… if it involves strictly the mind, I’m not a complete slouch. ACTUA...

Got a response from Calhoun County. A personalized response… which was a nice, interesting touch. Usually it is some form letter that just says the essence of “You don’t suck, but there were be...


Happy February! This isn’t my joke but worth a share: The most revered man in an old village was turning 100. The village was going to throw an enormous party and the most talented and most cele...


It is so hard to NOT let myself get excited when opportunities present themselves. I really shouldn’t get my hopes up but it can be hard not to. Every time I apply for a job, I check that city’s...


This is interesting. I was checking Indeed.com and a Mall Jewelry store in my Wife’s ideal city location is hiring a full time position. The job offers benefits, pays $45k a year, and my wife w...


Another day. Exhausted from the driving still. Just exhausted in general. To be fair… one of the things that has been the most draining about the job search? Actually getting interviewed for ...


I have the desire to speak about my truly greatest fears but, indulge me for a bit, because I want to share a story about the first time I ever divulged this. I grew up in a loving but fairly str...


This is a shitty shitty thing to say… but sometimes, on those long drives to interviews… weird shitty things pop into my head. This is one of those things: A common saying about suicide is that ...


Depression: When the day hasn’t even started… you just wake up sad. Got dressed… in a suit… which seems to only happen for long drives/interviews any more. Honestly, didn’t even go with my best ...


Somethings now seem to be a new norm. Left leg pain kept me up most of the night. Finally decided to take a sleeping pill around 3 am. Slept until noon at which point I woke up and instantly f...


I’m surprised… and a little disappointed in myself. A full hour workout and several hours of cool down… and I still find myself downright FURIOUS about the Law Library thing. I really thought I’...


In some ways, I feel slightly Snape to Aoife’s Lily. In the way that… I’m always looking, in some ways always thinking about her. For instance: There are times when I’ll see a Prosebox title or...


I suppose for matters of posterity and record keeping I should mention… mark it on the calendar… 2016, Sex 2, on 1/25. It was the first time this year that Wife had serious alcohol and I can te...


One of the reasons I think I need a job… shit, there are millions. But one of the big reasons why I think I really need to get a County Attorney’s job… the world at large is in so much pain, the...


Perhaps this is connected to my time travel obsession… perhaps there is a deeper meaning to it… perhaps it was just a dream. I was back in my old High School prior to graduating. I know it was...


I suppose you could consider “today” started before I even went to bed. Around midnight, I got an e-mail from Pedro that was addressed to me and the boss. Power went out in the Law Library. So...


I am not a fan of today! Last night, my left leg was absolutely killing me. Pain so much I couldn’t sleep. I drifted off around 6 am this morning. My dreams were cool, though. Attending a su...


So… this will piss people off; but when I saw it… I laughed. I know it isn’t the same thing… Oscars are supposed to be for all races, BET not so much. But… I still find this funny. I do try to...


HA! not sure if this is awesome or Fate telling me to ‘poke the bear’. A friend of mine said he can make a single phone call and get me an interview for an Assistant County Attorney position in ...


I need to shake myself loose. I need to push myself and expect that I (and I alone) will make things happen. Tonight: I shall leave work, having done little. I will get my Rx cream from Wal G...


Well, today. Hrm. Last week, I sent an e-mail to my boss telling him that I had job interviews on Friday of last week, Monday of this week, and would not be in on Wednesday for personal reasons ...


Of course, I can’t talk to wife about work or interviews or anything. It is funny… I talk to my parents about working in the jail… they immediately focus on the dangerous lack of security and en...
