November NINTH!? How in the heck did it become the 9th already?
The thing about not having a 9-5,5/7 forty-hour work week is that you start to "de-rez" in re: calendars and schedules.
> Funny thing about weekends when you're unemployed, they don't mean quite so much. 'Cept you get to hang out with your working friends.

Which brings me to the point of this morning's rant: You fool! "Monday" doesn't exist, you've been bamboozled! Stay home with the cat and start a garden.
Note that that last thing is delivered in the tone of a NPC wizard giving out a Quest to Save the World.
Sepulchral voice rings out amidst smoke and flashes of light in indescribable colors: "STAY HOME! START A GARDEN! ONLY IN THIS WAY WILL YOU DEFEAT THE EVIL ONE!"
I'm seriously: as a species our primary goal right now is to harmonize our economy and industry with the global ecology, and to a first approximation that means just doing less stuff:
Stop driving.
Stop flying.
Stop buying so much crap.
Stop eating so much meat.
That's really all there is to it. Until we harmonize our economy with the ecology your BS job is the thing causing the heat.
I am not unemployed, I work 24/7/365.25 as caregiver for my elderly demented mother. But schedule-wise it amounts to the same thing: total disconnect from consensus reality around these names and numbers for things that don't exist.
