As I’ve talked about before, the last several years have really shaken my faith in humanity. Even after living for four years with him in office, it still shocks me that 45 was ever elected. It shocks me that so many people bought into his rhetoric, no matter how vile, bigoted, and hateful it was. […]
Occupational Info Let’s talk about your job/former job. 1. What kinds of jobs have you had in life? Enjoy or not? Oh, boy! I’ve worked a lot of jobs! Fast food in high school, retail in college. Then I was in the Army for years working as a linguist/intelligence analyst. Then I got out and […]
