Part of you hopes for that. But I'm certainly cynical enough to never expect it.
And speaking of cynical, while I'm enjoying it very much with 80% of my brain, there's 20% that has to laugh at the idea that my public face is now basically the waffle blog — and that the day with the lowest traffic so far has surpassed by many, many times the day with the highest traffic on my old fruit blog.
It might be over, though — the viral part. In addition to a low capacity to entertain nuance, the internet has a short attention span.
Which is fine.
Oh, and I'm totally quitting that retail job that I had over the holidays. I was hoping they would just fire me so that I didn't have to quit. I mean, the holidays are over, aren't they? I was supposed to be seasonal help. Can't they do the right thing and fire me?
But now it looks like I have to quit. I'm grateful for the work on some level; it's just that it's not worth it. They only tell me my schedule days in advance, which makes it tough to work around my other job and anything else I might have going on.
The bigger issue is the pay: Last week, I sold some junk on eBay and made more than I had in the last pay period.
Then I opened a checking account online and got a bonus — one that was equal to the last two retail paychecks.
So why do I have a job that is paying me less than the money I can make while I am sitting around at home in my underwear?
Exactly.
As of Tuesday, I won't anymore
