I am a 1-Click Apply Addict

I guess I needed some kind of distraction from the “dip” in the stock market this past week, but I’ve been, um, 1-click applying as I scroll through my email. It’s too easy! And harmless. I mean out of all the jobs I applied for in the last six months of 2021, 22 actual cover-letter-writing,Continue reading “I am a 1-Click Apply Addict”

Happy Tuesday

This is my first post on this website. I’ve also posted on ChefYourParty.com. Now that the internet and I have become reacquainted, and I’ve shrugged the dust off our old friendship, I’m inspired to slam the door on The-Year-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named (TYWMNBN). The WordPress template that was here before I came along suggested this, TBH, and IContinue reading “Happy Tuesday”
