I‘ve been reading a lot lately, but I‘m consistently bad about posting on here! I‘ve been struggling to find a job, but I live a short short short walk away from the library so am there almost every day as I wait for people to call me back about a job, and as I await returning to school to study Culinary History.

Jerdencon Good luck with the job search! 5y
