my exciting life, or not

As it turned out, the cookie dough got put off by an hour and a quarter. It took me half an hour to get to the grocery store and back, and then I had to let the butter sit around for half an hour and soften up because I forgot to leave it sitting around when I left for the grocery store. Then it took fifteen minutes to get the cookie dough put together. It was indeed what I wanted, but don't ask me why, because I don't know.

I finally got done jumping through bureaucratic hoops to get proof of my degree for the ATA exam. It turns out that the registrar can't do it this week, but the College of Arts and Sciences can write me a "letter of completion", so I got them to do that.

I've got a whole big long list of rampant materialism I want to engage in when I've got a job again. Most of it is a long list of relatively small stuff, and some of it is a list of rewards I promised myself for various things, and some of it is peer pressure ("well, everybody else I know has one/does this/etc...."). But it's all stuff I haven't been able to do for two years without thinking about it and deciding not to, and I'd like to have income enough to get some of these things without worrying about them.

In aid of income, I believe I'll send out resumes after lunch. Anybody know anybody who wants to hire a French-to-English translator?

Want to give hiking tours through Burgundy to Americans?

If I already had income, I might consider it. Unfortunately, right now, it sounds a lot like "run away and join the circus". Especially since I don't know Burgundy at all.

Especially since I don't know Burgundy at all.

Not a problem. Speak to the natives in French, and most Americans will never know the difference. You're asking for directions and info about the area, and you can tell your marks- er guests that you're finding out about weather conditions or the state of this year's such and such wine.
