wpm typing test as video game; momma knows best

Huge turn around in the temperatures here. Today it felt like November--high 50s, drizzly, overcast, windy. So bizzare considering we were 102 three days ago. 40 degree difference. And it's supposed to be like this for the next several days. Feels nice to not sweat, though I'm looking forward to the weekend when it will be back into the ( Read more... )

Oh, man. I just finished experiencing my very first Texas summer, and from what everyone down here is telling me, it's possibly the worst that ever existed. This is both beneficial and horrible. As in, I've experienced the worst, but goddamn was it the worst. A heatwave back home is like a few days of 95+ weather, and I found myself saying, "Oh, it's only 98." on a few occasions. That is just something that no human being should have to experience.

On the worst day, the billboard outside of campus said 116. I don't know if that was index, but whatBut yes. It is now 1:14 a.m. and a glorious 65 degrees after being around 88 today and is going to drop down to 57ish. I'm definitely smiling ( ... )

This summer sucked. All of July was ungodly...and it was as bad or way worse all over. At least we had a nice wet spring and didn't have drought and the possibility of wildfires hanging over us.

90?! That's fucking nuts! I don't think my fingers can move that fast.

I don't really want a full-time/little flexibility job. I like being able to write and take care of the house and not worry about leaving work in order to take Scout to the orthodontist or whatever. Also there's the whole I really prefer to be alone. Being self-employed for so long has made me feel unemployable. But the health insurance and extra income, meager as it is, would be lovely.

I find typing tests extremely addictive too. Full benefits can be worth their weight in gold. It's one of the few reasons I'm still in my job. Flexibility would be hard to give up, though. I've never had it (always had a 9-5 type job) but I long for it. Sadly, the cost of living here in SoCal makes living on just one income difficult. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Not moving out is just rude. Is her restaurant even operating in the space or is she just being too lazy to move all her stuff out? I hope things work out for your friend.

Thanks :) I really just want something part-time so we have more income, but having a parent with flexibility to deal with life's emergencies is awfully nice. Trips to the vet and sick kid, etc. I'm not remotely qualified, so I don't even know if I want to take two hours to do a resume when I could be putting the time to better use. Like online typing tests ;P

He doesn't know what her deal is. He's been over to her new place to talk with the contractors and they say there is no real reason they can't just finish so she can move. She's still in business in the regular location. Lots of bad blood--not an auspicious start for anyone!
