Recruiters are so bad at their jobs. Last time I looked for work their sheer incompetent (and outright verbal abuse sometimes) cost me so much permanent baseline slide.

It’s part of why I wrote this post:

My emotional support notepads arrived!

Sushi, purple flowers, and two abstract patterns.

Sushi one was only $1. Highly recommend emotional support notebooks.

If you can't put parts of your vanquished enemies in a recipe, what is the point in being a celebrity chef?

Whoops. I realised my latest book contains an endorsement of vomiting on people you don't like. Good thing I have a disclaimer not to take advice from the book.
