In My Reading Life

I have not been reading. I've been staring at my TBR shelf while lying very, very still on the floor. I'm hoping to develop the ability to absorb books telepathically.

In The Rest Of My Life

I haven't written a Sunday Post since April. Oops.

What's been going on? Last year, I started having problems with my brain and its connection to the rest of me. It's not a problem that can be fixed. The doctor told me to get a job that's less physically and mentally demanding.

I spent the winter trying to get a new job. I failed. The majority of jobs didn't even respond to my application.

I got desperate enough that I gave my resume to an AI and asked it to match me with a job. Do you know what job it chose for me? Crematory worker. Like, the person who burns the dead people. No offence to crematory workers, but that's not what I'm looking for. And, it pays less than my current job! Body burners deserve more.

Since I couldn't get a new job, I went back to fulltime park ranger work in April. OMG, friends, I can't do it anymore. I feel like a corpse that's beyond ready for the crematory.

Last week, I asked my supervisor if I could reduce my hours. She agreed. Then a new job responded to my application, and now I have an interview scheduled for this week.

So . . . that's what's happening. I'm a gently microwaved corpse, stumbling through life, not reading books.

(Also, I really want a new blog. This one is frustrating and uninspiring.)
