Is it bad that I instinctively want to upvote things I like?  Clearly I've spent too much time on reddit.

So in the last 4ish months I've moved to North Carolina, went back to Maryland to move out of my apartment, then the boyfriend and I moved to Aspen, CO for the summer, and now we're back in NC.  A little over 9,000 miles on the car round trip, camping and staying with friends the whole way.  It was a pretty amazing summer.  

Now I come to realize I know barely anyone in NC.  I'm not a student, and I don't have a job.  This was poor planning on my part.  Not that I'm just realizing this mind you.  

The good news is I have 4.5ish weeks of work at Sig in DC for all of October.  Huzzah!  When I get back I can look for a job down here doing....  something....  

After being self employed as a painter for 6 years it's really, really, REALLY hard to stomach the idea of working retail.  Or food service.  I don't mean that in a snobbish way.  I've held jobs in both before (multiple times) and I've enjoyed aspects of it.  Now that I've had a taste of freedom my bull shit tolerance is really, really low.  I've dealt with rude customers before and managed to keep a smile (or at least keep from being rude).  I'm not so sure I can do that anymore.

I've been internet binging in my free time.  Mostly on foodie blogs.  I have a sick need to buy ALL the kitchen gadgets and make ALL the food.  It will be amazing.
