I'm sad to say my f-list is...slowing down. People of all flavors aren't writing as much s they used to. Most of that is a good thing, I've ditched the insane fetishists, the quiz posters, the "this is what I did today" twits, and the "don't you hate it when SOME PEOPLE don't do X, right?"

I no longer consider this job very valuable, and the job search is no longer a casual glance. I held my first gummint job for 8.5 years, this one is coming up on 6 - not a short tour. "We'll see," but I'm not optimistic.

If people start taking me seriously I'm going to have to think about what I say/type before I say/post it - we don't want that, do we? Uh, thanks I guess. You fucking fruitcakes.

Speaking of fruity-Os, I have a dumb question: ( never mind )

More importantly, bentrazor posted this timeless solution to everything that is wrong with the US perspective on the economy. I'd like to apply this lesson not just to USians, but to our government as well.
