		<title>Thought So.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the end of last week, I caught a cold.
Two days later, my period started.
No surprise. I&#8217;ve never been remotely regular (except when I was on birth control), but for the majority of my adult life if I catch a cold, I&#8217;ll usually catch it right before my period. That just seems to be the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still Counting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four days left on the post office job. I&#8217;m glad to have a job, and I&#8217;ll be glad when the job is done. Counting gets old after a while. And getting up at five in the fucking morning gets even older.
AND&#8230; this morning I got up at four in the fucking morning, because Mondays are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Figures.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I only have a two-week job, but I managed to get a cold before it was halfway over.
The spouse and one of the kids have been sick, but I don&#8217;t think I got it from them&#8212;they were pretty well on the mend by the time I caught it. I suspect I picked it up from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paycheck: I Has One!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today my first paycheck came in the mail! (I need to get my direct deposit set up, stat.) Not a lot, just for the hours I spent training for this job. Still, it&#8217;s great to be getting a paycheck again.
For the record: counting mail is boring. It&#8217;s one of those jobs that is monotonous and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yet Another Job Scammer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They must be catching all the newbies, because a week or two of scouring the job boards is enough to spot the scammers:

I was suspicious (hardly any reputable companies use throwaway Hotmail addresses these days, it just doesn&#8217;t look professional), but I responded anyway.
Their reply:
 Thank you for your interest in the position we have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Killer Pothole</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been an unusually cold winter here in North Carolina. We&#8217;ve actually had almost a week of snow, and the temperatures remained around freezing until just recently.
As a result, we&#8217;ve got a lot of potholes in the roads. Some of them are real axle-busters&#8212;one just up the road from us had cones and warning lights [...]]]></description>

		<title>Van Saga Continues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last April I heard from the lady who had bought my old, dead van from the people that bought it from me, and we determined that the intermediary couple had tried to pass the van off as a working vehicle&#8212;and signed my name to the transfer.
She&#8217;s been working on the issue since then. It&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>
