Sold much of my surviving long walk gear to the spectacularly-concepted Turntables & Trails, a shop buying and selling used records and audio and hiking and camping gear.
Sent out a couple more resumes, hopefully (and seemingly?) easier each time.
Touched up my resume and sent it off this evening, the most job-searching-like activity I’ve done in 14 years.
The dude was home for three weeks, and is now back at school. Meghan and I were also on vacation for those same three weeks, and the bambina was off for two. It was pretty great, and also kind of a rough reentry into school/work.
One of my favorite purchases ever, several years ago, was a dozen foot-long extension cords from Monoprice; they came in a single bundle in the shipping envelope. We’ve used quite a few of them over the years, and gave a bunch away. My second dozen arrived today, and they were each in their own plastic bag, each with a tightly-zip-tied warning tag literally the same length as the cord, all in another bag, all in a shipping envelope: so much wasteful packaging that’s manifested in that time. I still love the idea of these extension cords, but I won’t buy them from Monoprice again.
