Demagogue

For anyone who follows this blog with any regularity, I've been away for a bit. Which is sort of strange considering as of late I have had more free time to blog than ever-- because I recently got fired from my job. A total first for me. No matter how much I didn't like the job and the reasons were incoherent and flimsy, it still feels like I got kicked squarely in the teeth.

But I've recovered, healing nicely, I've been busy applying for new jobs, filing for unemployment, having a lot of time for soul-searching-and-taking-stock and all that. I'm hoping it could end up being one of the best/worst cliched things (you know the kind, at a cocktail party five years from now I'll say it was one of the best things that has ever happened to me) because I'm now getting ready to apply for grad school, something I've done far more talking about than actually doing for a fair number of years.

So, I just wanted to say "heya" and add that I'm really enjoying the comments section as of late, a few new voices we haven't seen before. Although maybe that'll change since I should be around more, especially since I'm one of those "happy holidays" people where this Sunday is just a Sunday like any other. (Oh, shit, they have a crazy liberal Jewish lesbian on here? I'm so outta here.)

I also want to give Frederick a big fat atta-boy for making and keeping things so lively for the past 2 weeks.
