This morning I went to the HRDC to see about the program they have for getting self-employed people going.

Meredith, my appointed person, seemed put off by the fact that I'd just taken a permanent gig, and went through the motions in a perfunctory fashion. I don't really understand it, given that I'd made the appointment weeks ago before all of this happens, and that I can still make use of the plan at any point in the next three years, but there it is.

rand()m quote

... I'll let you in on a secret. Big people are exactly the same as little people. They're selfish, squabbling children whose motivations are jealousy and greed. No one becomes big when the hit adulthood. They just become better at hiding how small they are.

—Jonathan Rosenberg
