This prompt has been difficult. I have a draft of some extensive writing that I’ll probably recycle parts of later. But I’m going to do this as simply as I can.
Recap of your year month-by-month.
January
Went to Shmoocon. Didn’t find a new job there, but did eat oysters.
February
Cold. Work continued to suck.
March
Not as cold. Work kept sucking.
April
Accepted a new job, and got the fuck out of the hell I’d been in.
May
Sorta started working the new job. Ended up going to DC for a GS interview, anyway. Interviewed for a GS slot down here, got an offer, and turned it down. Sorry, I saw my salary revert to 2007-levels in 2013. I’m not going back to 2004.
June
Settling into something resembling normal back at home.
July
That’s hot. I was working from home a lot because of the oppressive heat. I started writing in the month before my birthday.
August
I got older. Football.
September
Hospital stay number one.
October
Hospital stay number two.
November is underway. No hospital stays. fingers crossed December is TBD.
