• Applying for jobs takes an astounding length of time


• Which really annoys me, because I haven't got any spare time these days


• But I guess it's like that marshmallow thing they do with toddlers


• By which I mean, if I can delay gratification (WTF that means, in my situation, where I'm not seeming to get much gratification these days) by suffering now...


• Future happiness!


• Though when, I would like to know. When? One of my students was exalting about gas prices being "only" $3.31/gallon yesterday. Ai.


• Protests on Wall Street continue. I try to be cheered by this. Revolution now?


• 22nd of the month and we are already out of money.


• But! My novel is going well and besides applying for jobs I have submitted 3 stories this week.


• So!


• Upwards and onwards.
