(gif by Seth Eckert on Dribble.com) The round holes are opportunities that I could select and try for in the market. The square peg is the part time job I have now, and the desire to hang onto it. It hit me this morning that if I really want to make changes, I'd better find … Continue reading My job searching; or, I realize I’m doing myself no favors trying to fit square pegs into round holes…
While searching for career paths to take and trying to find what would fit me best in the world, I ended up watching a lot of vids about businesses and looking for jobs and the like. I should've been cleaning my house top to bottom, but got sucked into watching and getting more and more … Continue reading Q #168: Does the “corporate ladder” still exist, & if so, is it worth pursuing anymore?
My Copy: 9781984877499 (image from bn.com) This one was a tough read. Not that it was overly complicated or anything, but it was like reading Fear all over again, but with a broader view. Sifting through the catastrophuck that is the Trump Administration a second time around (and I haven't even gotten to Rage yet)... … Continue reading A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trumps testing of America, by Philip Rucker & Carol Leonnig
My Copy: 9781538718469 (image from bn.com) It took me a while longer than I thought to read this book, especially how thin it is compared to others I've picked up lately, but when I finally had a chance to sit and really read and absorb it, it went quick. A Warning doesn't really give you … Continue reading A Warning, by Anonymous (a Senior Trump Administration Official)
My Copy: 9780867196023 (image from bn.com) I'm trying to remember where and when I first heard or saw Barefoot Gen mentioned, but it was either in regard to graphic novels and their place in the classroom, or it was some internet analysts breaking down anime styles and stories over the years. Perhaps it was both. … Continue reading Barefoot Gen, vol 1, by Keiji Nakazawa (trans. by Project Gen)
My Copy: 9781935429074 (image from bn.com) Oh boy, it's all gearing up to a big 'ol fight...and the myriad of new characters is just making it crazier. Akira (volume 5) reunites us with some earlier characters that will play a larger part in the end game, such as Joker (former head of one of the … Continue reading Akira (volume 5), by Katsuhiro Otomo
I gotta admit, maybe this was the perfect breaking-point (by accident) in the anthology. I got to resume my reading plans with Shakespeare with this interesting work, Trolius and Cressida. I like how when I took another look online at what the story was about, to see if I got the gist of it or … Continue reading “Trolius and Cressida,” from The Oxford Shakespeare: The Complete Works, by William Shakespeare
Odd to suggest when we're 18 months past that inauguration day that so many won't forget (for many reasons), but there was something bothering me about Dump and his whole approach to becoming president (and now that he is president). A year and a half has convinced me that he doesn't want to be president … Continue reading I Still Think Donald Trump Doesn’t Want to Be President: A Theory.
You know how it is. You're looking for stories, then you click on one, then another from the article, then another...and before you know it you've found a total gem. I'm not terribly surprised at this one, after reading about McCarthy for several years and seeing what his power play as the junior senator from … Continue reading The Radical, Propaganda, Communist, Totally un-American… Declaration of Independence? Whaaa?!
