    I really feel you on this. In the last two months I did a resume overhaul and started mass-applying. Probably put in 15 apps in the last four days alone. I've got an job in the periphery of my specialty. But that's the problem...it's just adequate. I did zero work today. They paid me close to $40 an hour to play Pokemon Go, write a discussion post for one of my graduate classes, drink three beers on lunch, and dick around with two of my other coworkers who also do basically nothing all day....one of which makes almost double what I do and he does even less...somehow.

    I really love my career field. I hate not being productive in it. I only took the job because I need the salary bump while my wife came off active duty. Now that's over and I'm calling in every favor I can to get a job that actually means something to me. Only one callback so far and it turns out the posting wasn't accurate. Ugh.

    I really like Buttigieg. Biden is an absolute no-go for me. I've been a Bernie fan, but I'd like to have an idea of who his running mate would be. We have to face facts that he is extremely elderly and could absolutely pass while in office, so who he chooses as his VP is wildly important. I see lots of people in here giving props to Warren, which is super interesting to me because I don't think I've actually met anyone in person who is particularly excited about her. I don't really take issue with much of her policy platform, but, if I'm being totally honest, I don't think she's aggressive enough to go head on against foreign leaders like Putin and and I'm really unsure of her ability to handle aggression in contested regions like the South China Sea.

    I'd really like to hear from anyone who is more familiar with Warren's potential/actual foreign policy chops.
