Good morning and happy Thursday!
QJB - good job on the list! I am sure it is very frustrating on the job front; maybe give yourself a very specific time, M-F, to apply for jobs in new industries and apply for all you can in that time period and then move on to whatever else you have for the day? I know that "looking for a job is a full time job" but I think that's really meant to make sure you have consistency in your hunt not "you have to spend 10 hours a day applying for jobs" during the months it can take. I know a lot of tech companies are slow rolling hiring right now (or actively doing layoffs) but also that people are still getting new opportunities.
QOTD - not really, I do lots of stuff in the fall but nothing on a "you have to do this now" type schedule.
I have to run into the office today to have my laptop looked at, drop something at Fedex on the way home, do an afternoon workout, and work of course but I think that's it!
menu
coffee plus half and half X 2

turkey and cheese sandwich
"firecracker" johnsonville brat -- they are supposed to be sweet and spicy and they are neither but tasty enough.
Have a terrific Thursday!!

Oh my to-do list has many more things on it than just job applications. I think I only spent 6 of my crazy long day on that and many many more on cookie related things because I am hoping to keep a little income coming in, and that just takes up a lot of my bandwidth!

I was being a bit hyperbolic with the 10 hours a day. I know it's frustrating but there is something between throwing in the towel on other industries/just waiting for the hiring season for Ed to start and applying for everything, every day. Although I am a big believer in over applying if you see snythijf remotely interested, qualified or not. It gets a little bruising though, although then I have emotional cover that I applied to things as a stretch so it's not me, it's the role, lol.

Good mornin everyone, QJB so sorry to hear you're having a hard time with the job search...hoping it gets better! That meme elicited a giggle from me!
Not a lot going on today. I finally did some chainmaille yesterday and did a new weave variation that I actually like. Hoping to finish that bracelet and try it in all stainless in a smaller gauge combo. Pic at the bottom.
I've been feeling so off/lost...invisible in a crowded room kind of thing. Can't seem to shake it off much. I see some cracks so I'm not giving up any time soon.
QOTD: no...not really. Just happy for cooler weather!

Gorgeous! What kind of bracelet clasp would you use with this or is it all one loop that you squeeze your hand into?
