I'm not kidding. 8 hours, under 60 seconds per scroll, and I'm not done. This just in the 8 weeks I've been back.

Scrolls rolled and tied with lollipops, matchbooks, twine, ribbon, string, tape, aluminum foil, gum, wire, you name it, he's done it. Scrolls containing candy bars, candy, suckers, - and - even money - a $5 bill and a $2 coin so far. And I haven't even been unwrapping them all, there's a big segment that will be unwrapped by posterity. And there are some masterpieces here:

Looking for a job, any job that isn't seasonal, that isn't restaurant related, because, all things told, restaurants are a pretty precarious business to be in at this moment. And while the pub's reopened all the safety measures easily double the work load, for half the customers, an abysmal amount of take out...

Time to find something else...

So, checking the local jobs I come across a posting for Psychiatrist. $350-450,000 per year. Holy Fuck.

And I'm always prescribing mushrooms, MDMA, Acid...If I'd a done for a profession what I already do as a hobby I'd be rich. Damn Damn Damn.
