I abide.

Some good news: I will hopefully be starting to take my own kung fu students soon. We're still working on the specifics, so I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. But this takes a lot of the sting out of job woes, and sets me on a much better path. My hope is to get this off the ground soon, and then I've got time to build up enough students that I can hopefully strike out on my own once my loans are forgiven.

Oddly, in spite of the good news, I've found myself being unusually irritable lately, and with a lower-than-usual frustration tolerance. I'm not entirely sure why. There's certainly a lot of uncertainty in our country right now, and I'm sure that's part of it. I will admit to being more than a little pissed off too at this attack from our corrupt "representatives" on the civil service, who do a lot for disproportionate pay. Cutting federal employees has proven time and again not to save money, and we're not the ones using our positions to make ourselves rich. We're just trying to do a job, man. It may be a personal thing too, but I'm not sure what that might be, really.

The beer in the pubski picture is taunting me.
