Gainful Unemployment

I was laid off 2 days before my birthday in 2009, a dismal blessing. I miss health insurance and payroll, but I haven't bought bread since the pink slip because I have time to bake.

Sometimes I'm a serious job hunter, sometimes a serious slacker, but mostly, I'm an underemployed, freelance Jaqueline of many trades including writing and dogsitting. Either way, I scrapbook my finds and activities here for your benefit and amusement.

Follow me on Twitter if tv/movie/pro-cycling spoilers and unplanned live tweets won't hail on your parade. And yes, I do work blue so don't be huffy with me if you don't like cursing or merciless roasting of public figures.

You can look at my other blog Fashion Corpuscle if you like fashion. The ruins of my crumbling Tumblr blog empire awaits internet archaeologists.

  • For the most part, it hasn’t affected it much. There have been a couple of situations—a trip to a bar to watch the game last Sunday, or a group outing to Steak & Shake, for example—that I’ve either had to think hard about going to, or decide to ditch altogether. I get some of the typical yank-my-crank style humor from my friends, but that’s largely died down after the first few days. My wife has actually been very happy with it due to the fact that she loves salad, soup, and avocados, and we’ve been eating a lot more of all three of those recently.

    The Vegan Experience, Day 13: The Halfway Mark | Serious Eats

    I’ve been following J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s “The Vegan Experience” series closely, as it mirrors my own experience changing my diet. Whatever your eating persuasion, do go read his writing. It’s a really thoughtful, even-handed and honest look at nutrition, eating habits and the morale of eating regimens. Usually, I skip the reader comments, but the ones for “The Vegan Experience” have been worth reading for informational value.

    Bonus: meticulously (and nerdily) tested vegan recipes that’s worth having in your arsenal, whatever your eating regimen might be.
