"update your blog for fucks sake"
The daily grind of the unemployed.
There are a few types of blogs. The two that specifically ring out in my head are the kinds packed with political or social commentary and the others are the day-to-day ramblings, rantings. craving, fluff and thoughts of the masses. I wish mine was the first, but I suppose it's the second.
This entry is a request from her
I lost my job a few months back. I was in school full-time and working somewhere between full and part time and I was relieved for the opportunity to concentrate on school. It's been about a month since Spring semester ended, and I've been home. I have somehow transformed from a part/full time Systems Administrator/Studemt/Programmer into a modern, yet painstainkingly obvious housewife.
In the morning I tend to the kitchen, so that it is easier for me to prepare dinner later. After that I check for laundry to be done, and putter around seeing if there is anything I can tidy up.
I break a few hours later to get back to the geek in me, check in with consultant work, compose some emails, look for a job that will compliment my school schedule for next semester, and hope back on my feet to make sure dinner is prepared when my boyfriend gets home.
There is a pride in this act that perhaps comes from old ground in notions that domestic upkeep is a chore for the woman, but I find that it's the same pride that comes from writing a good application, or fixing a bug that just kept pissing you off. Do a job, and do it well, I say.
With that in mind, I leave you with some recipes.
Brown Sugar Meatloaf
San Francisco Pork Chops (served over egg noodles)

I love those pork chops.
And, btw, not to beat a dead goat, but you are no one's "wife"...
