I've been unemployed for two months now. Looking for work sucks. Not having to go to work is great. I'm getting bored. I'm trying to stay busy. I'm not losing weight like I want to. I'm writing recipes like I thought I would. I think things might turn around soon but I have nothing to base this off of but a feeling. Anna and I are okay but both of us are under pressure and it isn't good for either of us. Brian and Chloe are getting married this Saturday. Will's Bachelor party is the 5th of Nov and his and Jamie's Wedding is the 7th. Halloween is coming. I have 20 weeks more of UI. I am moving in with Will and Jamie and maybe Alex too at the end of November.

No Knead Bread
Hi. I love this bread recipe. Take a look at where I got it. http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/search/label/Breads
4 cups bread flour (I used 3 cups white and 1 cup wheat)
*Note: you can use All-purpose flour if you want and you can also mess with the proportions of wheat to white
1/4 tsp yeast
2 cups water
1 1/2 tsp salt
Mix your flours to combine with the salt and yeast. Add two cups of warm water. Stir until uniform.
Allow to rise for 18 hours! That means if you want fresh bread in the morning you are looking at making this the afternoon of the previous day.
Once the 18 hours is up punch the dough down and turn it out into a well greased bread pan. Allow that a second proof for 2 hours.
Preheat an oven to 425 and bake for 35-45 minutes.
*Note: if you like a really hard crust I suggest a water bath at the bottom of the oven.

Comin' around
Every time I read the news I get sad about the state of the world. I find new reasons to doubt our leaders. I find cause for concern and consternation.
It seems to me that greed, corruption, and the desire for power are just as rampant as they ever were. We might just be realizing it more and that is making the mob restless and disenfranchised which could lead to anger and real problems.
Some part of me would love to see apathy and anger lead this country, and this world, into a bloodless revolution but I recognize that the wealthy will always be willing to bribe enough people to maintain the status-quo.
I hope everything works out. I don't know what I should do to help. I don't know how much help people deserve or if any one organization or person is right to decide how much help people need or who to help. I don't know how to come to an informed decision without trusting others.
Too many things are spun in the media for me to be sure that what is right or wrong and that makes me wonder if I'm getting the whole story.
I need more time off. : )
Hail Eris. Praise Buddha.

50-50
I have had a few job offers but none have them have been a good fit. On one hand I'm upset that I am not going to get the jobs or that they would be crap and on the other hand I'm happy to do nothing.
I'm a strange man in a strange land.

Down I go
I feel empty and dead inside. Tired, you know. I just want a good long nap and I'd be okay if I just ceased to have been.
I'm not suicidal just hurt, confused, and unappreciated. Like I don't matter.
Good Night

Well I'm boned
I didn't get the job at Tempurpedic. It's not shocking I didn't have the experience they were looking for. I'm not going to get the workstation support role either cause Karen can't get a back fill. Hell she is cutting peoples hours just so they don't get personnel or pay cuts.
I am headed to the electronic unemployment line.
I'm sorta happy about that and sorta bummed. Upside I get time off and the government is going to pay me (at least something). On the down side there is no end in sight and the money won't last forever and this is kinda a shot to the ego.
I have a grill to keep me company though and I have already made chicken and a steak.
Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.
