Confession time.
I’m something of a prepper. Not one of those, mind you, but I grew up in the shadow of the Cold War, and the thought of having supplies ready should the proverbial shit hit the proverbial fan has always been … Continue reading
The saga continues.
Man, I can’t wait until this is resolved so I can stop fuckin’ talking about it. But I got a message from the headhunter that he wanted to chat to discuss the comp issue. According to him, the discrepancy was … Continue reading

The final countdown.
Coming up on the last day before the exam. Still absolutely not confident I’m going to pass it, but eh, fuck it. The retake’s going to cost me 90 bucks for two more bites at the apple, and I’ll have … Continue reading
The hits just keep on coming.
