Taxable income

So I’m back in the workforce. But just a little bit.

Poppy and I were driving home from the grocery last week when I spotted a Now Hiring sign at a local coffee shop. Later, I jokingly told Rockford I was going to apply. And then I did apply, and they hired me, and now I’m a barista. A really bad barista at this point, as I don’t know any of the recipes yet and it’s sort of hard to froth milk just right. So a barista-in-training may be a better term for it.

Anyway, I worked a few hours this weekend and, despite the I Don’t Know What I’m Doing related stress, it was sort of fun. I’m going to be working Saturday mornings, mostly, and I’ll be home just a few hours after the kids get up. It’ll get me out of the house, and I’ll finally be able to save up enough for my Marquis Jet card.

We are the manufactory, we are the source

I’m not sure where Snowcherry got the idea that I’m in the market for a long-term aluminum foil contract. I’ve been quite pleased with Target’s aluminum foil selection, and I intend to stick with them. But I really enjoyed Snowcherry’s email nevertheless.
