On Getting Paid to Whitewash History

Travel copywriting is the absolute worst. Such a weird combination of why-am-I-not-on-a-beach and man-screw-that-place. I lasted two months.

On When Food Comes Alive

@Sass Came here to make the same comment. Also, slightly fancy breads freeze really well! Marble rye, pumpernickel and sourdough rounds are my go-to loaves when I know I can eat off them for weeks and weeks.

On Money Spent This Weekend

@nerd alert What's a rent party? Does everyone cosplay as a starving artist from Alphabet City? Is there a performance-art-off?

On In Search of the Perfect Popsicle

@mishaps Both the orange-cream and peanut butter-banana options are also mad tasty.

On Unconventional Job Interviews

Back when I spent some time doing retail my favourite was a couple different places where people would get really flummoxed when I tried to be funny. One guy at least actually wrote down some variation of "made joke?" in the little box where he was supposed to note my responses. Definitely once took a worse paying job entirely because the interviewer at one place laughed at my jokes more than the other guy.
