Even so, many people don't do long-form blogging anymore which is a shame because I feel that I made a deeper connection with people through blogging and not through Facebook, Twitter, or other new forms of social media.

It's making it difficult for me to make plans at work since I don't want to say yes to something only to not be able to do it. Also, my lease is ending in three months and I have a first round interview with another organization. This has also made it difficult for me to focus at work because I've been waiting for that one phone call or email saying that I got the job. Everything is depending on this one thing.
[edit] I GOT THE JOB!

Comment on Should how to use computers effectively be taught in mainstream education? in ~talk
basicbaconbitch LinkYes! I encounter so many college students who don't know how to do basic things such as turn on a computer or work with MS Office.

These are things you should know by the time you get to college, but a lot of the students I work with tend to be older adults returning to school or traditional-age students who may have come from less than stellar schools.

basicbaconbitch Link ParentBoth, although I haven't seen Outlander in awhile (I don't have Showtime). I also love a lot of BBC productions such as Pride and Prejudice (1995) and North and South (2004).Both, although I haven't seen Outlander in awhile (I don't have Showtime).

If I like most of the candidate's platform, they're capable of doing a fine job in office without doing much (if any) damage, and they're not a terrible person, I will vote for them. I can say that in 2016, I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries and Gary Johnson in the general election. According to the Political Compass Test, I'm a left-libertarian.

I'm also trying use a different username that isn't so obviously connected to me that people in real life can find me.This phrase randomly came up in a conversation with my boyfriend.

I'm also a 30-something woman living on the East Coast. I love reading, listening to music, watching movies and TV shows set in different time periods, travelling, and learning new things.
I still plan to use Reddit as long as old.reddit.com is still up. I use my regional subreddit frequently and there are a few niche communities on Reddit that I like. My main Reddit app is BaconReader and I plan to support it as long as it's still around.
