My Uneventful Absence
As you may have noticed, I've fallen into a pattern of weekend posting on here, which was interrupted last weekend for the simple but strange reason that I was not in possession of a functioning laptop. You see, my last day at one law firm was Friday, so that laptop was sitting on a receptionist's desk in the Loop. And though I have a personal laptop, it's probably a decade old and I haven't logged in to it in months or years. I did try, but succeeded only in accidentally changing multiple passwords and locking myself out of resources I routinely use. After which I took a break.
I started the new job last Monday (I never have been much for downtime) and am now back in business. Though perhaps you have heard that there were some other events this week that took on a certain prominence in my day to day. I shall not speak of them, as the world is hardly waiting for me to make sense of contemporary sociopolitical movements. That, of course, is why we turn to Whoopi Goldberg. But the point is, I am back and I am better than ever, or at least the first part of that.
