/lit/ - Literature

I need books about finding meaning in the modern world, forming an identity and living authentically

>>20597960
You have always gotten to choose the meaning.

Any good book could help with that, but I have a feeling only you can find it/them.
Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Muir, Emerson maybe

She'll let me gain access to her body but not her heart because I'm fucking poor. With my good sense I tried not to be hasty but honestly if I just fucked her brains out from the start I probably could've kept her.

Guys, you seriously need to stop succumbing to Protagonism.
Other people are not NPCs. They are not even cattle. They have galaxies in their brains. I promise you.

I bought a pack of white bandanas and tied them around my head to emulate DFW and I unironically and with total sincerity feel significantly smarter.

I don't get the appeal of poetry.
And I mean actual poetry with rhythm and rhymes, not the freeform crap that's not even poetry.
If it has rhythm and it rhymes... why not put it to music? These are lyrics!
Listening to poetry without music to me is like eating raw dough when you could bake it into a cake.
It's just an unfinished song.

I resent my life

4chan has damaged my brain. Every time I sing a song in my head (even if the song doesn’t have lyrics) I sing a parody of it with lyrics solely comprised of the words nigger and kike (it’s amazing how two-syllable words fit into almost every song).

>>20598095
I do this when cooking.

>>20598095
Moonman and Mr Bond have changed a lot of songs for me

>>20598074
>unironically and with total sincerity

Wow, I guess it really is working.

Tfw no femdom gf

>>20597952
Anyone else notice that /lit/ been lacking moderation lately.

>>20598141
Many people, the janny is totally absent and zoomer threads are multiplying like bacteria. Summerfaggotry is in full swing and we have no defense. I believe this year will kill /lit/ if it hasn't already. There are simply no threads for effort posters to stick around for. The board is a Twitter feed.

Someone should tell the mods that the janny is AWOL.

>scroll through lit
>see no threads worthwhile
>see few threads about literature without a slant
>feel the need to post because I haven’t in a while
>post this in wwoym thread just because

Books for this feel?

Today the truck needed diagnosing and repair. Fortunately, the knowledge and tools are there, but the parts rang in at $700. The truck runs while my life remains motionless and unrepaired.

>>20598141
Lit is dead so might as well trample the body and drag it through the streets. Make a mockery of it

I want to try getting pegged

CLARO SI DESPUES DE UNA TUNDA E PALO QUE TE MUERAS ES NORMAL

>>20598154
I believe /lit/ has reached the point where it can’t be saved unless we are blessed with a ruthless totalitarian janny. The roaches have taken over and no way to fight back without an exterminator

Biggest moment of my life today and I am spending it alone. I would beg for just a hug or to be held. Might go for a night walk tonight and hope I get stabbed or run over or something.

>>20598199
All he even has to do is enforce the existing rules. Ban all off topic and low effort threads. Ban all "books for this feel?" threads. I don't understand why our current shit eating retard janny burned himself out after one week.

>>20598212
Have you seen this place? Too much work to do for free. The final heartbeat of lit is near at hand. Too many shitposters, incels and poltards that can’t keep to their own board
>dude, just make better threads
Anyone who says this is ignorant of what happens in every thread created. Retards have reached the critical mass where they invade and derail every thread

Any femanon wanna peg me

>>20598154
yeah i did some more reading about thomas mann's sources for joseph and his brother and wanted to right a slightly efforty reply about how mann basing so much of joseph on panbabylonism was a mistake because that was an aerchological fad that died out a few decades later, so this idea that monotheism could be traced back to the bottom of the well of history just doesn't work, monotheism was an innovation for better worse, sorry. buuut when i went to post about it, the thread had of course scrolled off to make way for some youtube guys and a bunch of threads with esoteric guys dunking on whoever they dunk on in their threads which are never actually about books.

I thought the you know who's couldn't possibly get more annoying, but now they have bass systems in their cars that you can feel inside your head and chest from three blocks over, and they just sit there in some parking lot idling their welfare money away and vibrating the fucking pavement

Imagine being such a cosmically evil manifestation of chaos and night that you radiate evil through the fucking grounds and make people feel your evil aura pulsating from a mile away

>>20598074
there used to be this bandana wearing frenchman at my gym who i think was in nyc for modeling he looked good so naturally i bit his style and tried to rock a bandana but they were all too small so now i can't help but think dfw was a skulllet

>>20598074
DFW called that "The Squeeze," it's focusing your brain power and making you more powerful (locally)

>>20598265
He wasn't a skulllet, if he took it off he looked like (but was not) Yaqub

>>20598255
Any purely literature thread that isn’t a nonmeme book will die within a day. It’s not worth the effort but part of me says we have to keep fighting. Either way a breaking point is closing in. Either /lit/ gets cleaned up and people who read decide to return or make threads, or the board is lost forever

>>20598258
oh and any time you see a truck with those absolutely blinding led panels on it, you already know who it is. why do they have this natural affinity for anti-social behavior, i just don't get it.

>>20598271
well ok i wanna know where i can cop a big & tall size bandana then

>>20598255
Would you recommend reading Joseph and his Brothers if I like Mann's middle work but I see him as an ambivalent old "high bourgeois" writer who saw European civilization strung between active nihilism and negative (last man) nihilism, and pussied out and sided with the last men in the end because at least they're not the Nazis? What exactly is he saying with Joseph? Some part of me assumes it's just going to be tired old-world weariness with no real answers, and predicated on his ability to retreat from society and spend all his time with other inner emigres, an ability that the last man necessarily eroded for everybody who came after him. Thomas Mann never had to live near bass boosted temporarily embarrassed soundcloud rappers.

>>20598281
My theory is that their soul runs on a totally different energy, something much more small scale social or tribal, and they just cannot adjust to being in a civilization with cities and differentiated roles. Every one of them is wandering around trying to will forth Okwonkwo, but instead of disconnecting from the world that is crushing their Okwonwko spirit like Okwonkwo was, they settle for animalistic tribal behaviors like smoking weed and causing constant trouble

Maybe in addition to being spiritual tribesmen they have an unusually high propensity for trickster energy and it has nowhere to go in white society except causing a fucking mess in every movie theater on the planet

>>20598074
That's just the blood flow to your brain getting cut off.

>>20598154
>Someone should tell the mods that the janny is AWOL.
Would they even care?

>>20598317
at this point i've read more pages of secondary sources about joseph than the actual book because it's not really procrastinating if i'm reading a peer reviewed journal article right? so i can't really say at this point. also, the only other mann things i consumed was the audiobook version of that story about him walking his dog which was actually kinda comfy and fairly unique but prob not a major work, oh, and that death in venice movie that was on criterion channel last year that had that femboy model someone kept posting, no idea if it was close the book. god, i really do not read enough.

I haven't been able to get a proper (waking) erection since Covid started. At start I worried something was wrong with my body but I get morning wood as normal. I was never a porn consumer or anything. Once I noticed the problem I even tried fantasizing to social media thots and actresses and even tried pornography for once but I quickly got bored and couldn't even remain focused on the thought for more than a couple of seconds. It's like if my dick simply gave up.

>>20598199
>I believe /lit/ has reached the point where it can’t be saved unless we are blessed with a ruthless totalitarian janny.
Why does /lit/ have terrible moderation compared to other boards?

I wish I was a girl, forced to suck and take big dicks

Climate change is God’s gift to humanity.

Climate change will place such a stress on global systems that deglobalization becomes the only option. Food shortages, supply chain collapse, the destruction of manufacturing infrastructure via flooding, etc- all of this furthers the de globalization of the world. Countries will have to localize production, but even that is not enough.

In time countries will crumble. You cannot maintain modern countries in a world where technological collapse has occurred. You cannot maintain AI, that great threat to life, in a world with no computers. Global warming will save us.

>>20598463
Welcome to being 40.

>>20598504
Is that a good or bad thing?

>>20598476
It’s probably easier to get around the rules with “books for this feel?” and the fact that books have been written on every topic so that means all is permitted according to most anons here

>>20598495
Nah, there will still be global trade, but all the useless bottom rungs of society -- criminals, welfare parasites, NEETs, etc. -- will starve to death and die.

>>20598510
Looking back, it was a great thing.
No more need to engage women, put up with their drama, care what they think of me, or spend money on them.
It was absolutely liberating.

>>20598516
The big thing is making sure global warming causes modern technology to collapse. If that happens, AI and all the threats it poses cease to exist.

Written quickly, wanted to try a very strict meter with rappers rhyme.

Poem name=ɛəɑ

Ever lost, forever lost, forever lost ?
Less or more, the stress of war, the leopard’s Jaw,
Gnawing red flesh in its claws, bursts reservoir
Waters rilling past the hills rain weathers on,
Where the sheep and Shepard rush to shelter, yon
Where the dreams of sleep are born, the treasure stores
Bourneless where the flawless thoughts as zephyrs brawl,
Sings spring of the great days, where unfettered dawn
Shimmers on, and under where the nether thralls
Terror, for the thundering of welter falls,
Casting those who asked not god but pleasures false
To renew their souls, the holes where measured law
Causes grief reliefless as a leper’s maw.
Ever lost? no never lost the letters call,
Render then the eidolonic repertoire,
Tender let me speak thy splendor better Lord,
Open then my mouth and let thy nectar pour.

>>20598537
The great event of the 21st century will be fascist European man fighting a global gigawar against whatever Sino-Gogmagogian conglomeration forms over the next few decades, to get it to stop experimenting with unleashed AI technology, and with gene editing on its endless slave population.

This is the century of Ahriman's attempt to enslave humanity forever. If Europe can't shake off its current yoke and get back at the reins, we're fucked. Even if it can, there is no guarantee we will win the war against the golem hordes.

Mods and Jannies are incapable of doing their jobs. They keep nuking /sffg/ instead of just banning the shitters that derail the threads.

>>20598556
Combined with the shitty moderation people are noting, ever wondered whether the janny is a deliberately bad one and has a vested interest in trolling /sffg/

>>20598582
I wonder about the jannies’ motives at times

>>20598556
>/sffg/ instead of just banning the shitters that derail the threads.
What's worse is that its literally just 2-3 shitters derailing the thread. I don't know what's so difficult about just banning them instead of just nuking the thread whenever they get their way. Since its extremely obvious who they are with how they post.

>>20598516

Big tiddy pro life goth gf

Big tiddy farmer goth gf

I know a girl who parties often and she was going over this tendency she has to go up to random people, say something mean/insulting then walk away. after the conversation I realized that she had done the same thing to me when we first met (she asked me why I was wearing a certain shirt then walked away). what's interesting is that upon seeing her nearly a year and a half later since that encounter I remembered exactly what she did and became incredibly attracted to her. I was planning on talking to her during that first encounter but she came up to me instead and left a bitch imprint. she sort of lives up to the first impression because despite being cute and charming there is this abrasive and hateful side that is seems to ooze out of her at random.

The will to live

I miss a culture I was never part of. Let me explain.

I was thinking the other day, "Gee, it'd be cool to go to Canada or Australia". But I then realized these places had been entirely Americanized. And if I were to visit these countries I would only contribute to this erosion of culture by spreading my American nature.

I don't know what to blame: Americanization via media is certainly part of it. Mass immigration maybe; after all Chinese and Indians have no regard for the Anglo culture which used to exist in Canada and Australia. I don't know. I just feel sad to know that the Anglosphere is so sterile. I wish I could have seen it when it was full of life.

>>20599154

I thought I disliked myself, but I just looked into my eyes in the mirror and I couldn't help but smile. I love humans, and so I love myself.

>>20599160
You don't understand. I don't see my country as being better, in fact I blame us for destroying what was.

>>20597952
>We compared this to the results of a 2015 review of studies on penis size that included over 15,000 men from around the world. The average penis length when erect was found to be 13.12 cm [5.2 inches]—almost one whole centimeter less than the average estimate given by men in our study.
The average is 5.2? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

If everything went my way
Then why am I so empty inside?
These endless victories will kill me someday
Are you sick of winning yet?
Perhaps I should have been kinder to the boy
He did wrong by me
But I ignored every little warning and intuition of gods judgement..
And worse, I invoked the name of God for my own selfish purposes
My lament..is over

Just linking this real quick..

Male snakes can be left-penised or right-penised (they have 2 penises), like how humans can be left-handed or right-handed. Female snakes can hold the sperm of multiple snakes for years and choose whenever she wants to get pregnant and which sperm she wants to use (one of a snake's sperm, or multiple snakes' sperm at once for a mixed litter). Some snakes have asexual reproduction (parthenogenesis). Do you enjoy snake facts?

------ Solaria XII -----

(Vinous Lucretius)

They had no idea of a land so much like the sea
Swifts can pleasure cruise its lawns

In the deepest eye of charisma's brightest kind
Where sense tremedous as the sun

Is completely satisfied by the scene of its rising, in so serene an air
The softest cat poise. outlned by soaring cottonwoods

Exquisitely still in all their implications, would be

A little out of place, slighly mar the perfection of irridescent glass
Into which it slants from the window--

Rendering too lush, intense, to convey, absolutely domineering
As charm, inconceivable seduction--

Any lovable man whose
Comedy goes too high, too calm

To say, quite why, his carpet's like a numbus
Viewed from stratosphere

Into which chrome buildings indifferently rise, a lunar elysium
Sane as Sunday drives indulged any day of the week

Without the slightest consideration
To human time or measure--

Light in which the mind sleeps, the temperament of Heaven,
Plieades rain, brass dazzle of toad irises, scent of hickory or walnut stands,

Ruby Dianthus planes velvet in late afternoon,
The cryogenic perfection of heirloom petunia blooms, demure brown mantises

In 16 kilohertz chorale, the priordial sweep from the elevated
Bridge near Edith Farnsworth's house,

Mock orange, calamondin orange, Someone Putting A Pineapple Together
While driving past the black violet sonoriity

Of several thousand cicadas singing with searing loudness on a hill
An old tall house rests on, TV phosphor

Fom its haunted windows.
Theatre of sybaritic unwindings beyond,
.
The laughing radiance in which the gods dwell
Prior to reason, supreme to all,

Cities faraway, steely in elegance as the Oz bells longing for universal love
Or a siren Faust would projecct if he

Could so feelingly see.

Many years back I read an anecdote of a pretty young woman approaching George Bernard Shaw with proposition to make a child that would surely be happy with her looks and his intellect, to which he replied by pointing out it would be unhappy with the other way around.
Now I saw the same anecdote being attributed to Ernest Hemingway, and since the chances of two men being approached with the same very specific ignorance of basic genetics are close to nil, it made me wonder just how much of what we know of writers is true and how much a case of mistaken identity.

is this something similar to cognitive behavior therapy?

>>20600308
I have quadrivium and I've only paged through it so take this as you may. It's pretty decent but seems like "baby's first science book". Where they cover interesting topics and it forms a good platform to start, but nothing in there will really blow you mind away.

Why does Irish literature and folk music have so much more soul than the British

As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

has anyone considered the implications of determinism or free will?
that we are agents or observers and what that entails about creativity and reality

what it implies when considering 10 dimensions of universality and simply being an observer
ideas like roko’s basilisk or 4 dimensional and higher beings

could the bible have been trying to tell us something?

>>20600540
theres no free will, only an illusion to make the deterministic reality easier to live.

Lord of the flies is one of my favorite novels but I hate flies.

There are three abysses, which we respond to with either religion or cheerful denial.

The abyss at the end of time.
To deny this is seen to be the refusal to entertain the possibility of apocalypse — deflected by an reflexive assertion of naive optimism and political idealism.

The abyss before time.
You see someone afflicted with this anxiety when they say that it is not a mystery at all, often deferring to Big Bang theory. Admits that he does not understand what that means, but defers to the superior knowledge of learned men, whom he cannot name. Yet denies there is mystery. In effect, denying there is an abyss at all at the beginning of time.

The mystery of Mind is — dismissed as “abiogenesis” (“mind is brain..Mind is a product of biological evolution..A matter for neuroscientists who are surely close to having a complete theory of mind.”) Conveniently denies the abysses in his own experience of having a mind (possibility of unlimited sadness, unlimited love, unlimited imagination, irrationality, esp Blakein Infinity of which they are incapable). Unable or unwilling to admit an awareness of the transcendence of normal consciousness.

>>20600553
did you get vaccinated tho?

>>20600509
True, though i never design experience without a Muse. If they're happy, so am I.

Work is a nightmare, dude. The conversations, the personalities, the topics, the constantly being expected to pretend not only like you care at all but that you are deeply passionate and motivated is living hell. I refuse to do it even but these people are insufferable. I’ve started hating them, which I feel guilty about.

You ever need realize how the people who know or knew you, be it through school or work or whatever, would be struck by a sense of something ridiculous if they were to ever one day find out that you actually do what it is you always say dream about doing? You ever think about how that coworker would think “lol wtf” if they actually read that novel you always dream about writing, or that comic you always think about drawing, or that game you always consider developing? You ever think about that and sink into insecurity?

I do.

>>20600612
That is why I have planned to use aliases and pseudonyms for everything, and if I were to be found out I would just vehemently deny it and claim it was just a coincidence to the point where I seem insane and they would pass off their judgement on anything I did under such aliases as "he was just insane".

>>20600576
It depends on the work you do. I'd be happy forever as director of Kew Gardens, or even Wisconsin's modest Three Domes, Working as a fashion bitch in a huge regional mall isn't so bad, if not good as living off Return On Equity.

An old ram, separated from his fellows, stands alone in his pen. He charges at the onlookers standing by the fence, stops, and bleats.
"He's looking for oats. It's like candy for him." Penny says. Her hair is long and white and her formless dress encapsulates a formless body. She looks across the yard at the other pen, "the young rams started beating on him and keeping him from his food so I moved him over here. I think after he was sheared, they didn't know what he was. Call him Winter, he'll come to you."

Where do you live? About 60 miles from where I sit, while shopping Lowes, a guy in a black Mercedes rolled up to me with a question my GPS navigator always answers. He could go twice the speed limit in that, I thought, But why ask me? Because i wish no one harm, harsh as the circumstances I've known. I look like that and can't help it, my voice always like this.

It’s from an old notepad of mine which is now a better edited 200p manuscript. I’m fully aware of my own limitations in religious philosophy and secular politics, but my thesis is that the psychological motivations for secularism, in my case the minimizing of religion from *epistemology*, are an unconscious attempt to allay existential anxieties.

I eat so much canned tuna my family is constantly giving me shit that I'm gonna die of mercury poisoning from the lining inside the cans.
I guarantee you I eat more canned tuna than (you).

>>20600920
I hate tuna (and seafood in general) so you're probably right. In fact, I've never had tanned cuna in my life. I don't see how anyone could've had less canned tuna than no tanned cuna.

>>20600920
Your family is silly, the mercury doesn't get into tuna from the lining of the can, it gets into tuna from the sea its swimming in (volcanic eruptions and industrial activity emit mercury into atmosphere, rain gets it into ocean). It's a type of fish that just gets more of the stuff into its system than others, which is why it's being warned about.
Maybe consider some other fish in between tuna lunches.

Everytime I lie in bed all I can think about are the various girls who showed interest in me during highschool and how I fucked up every encounter by being a sperg or turning them off with my racist banter. There were those who outright asked me out, the one who wanted my phone number, the girl who would draw hearts on my computer, and the theater classmate who always physically clinged to me. Now I'm an econfag in college where the atmosphere is 95% male. Discovering /pol/ and Holocaust denial as a teenager is the biggest mistake I have ever made.

I know what I want to do with my life but I often feel like it’s a pipe dream.

Eat the rice, pay the price. We need to do something about the increasing amount of white men who prefer to mingle with ugly gooks instead of their own race, thus leading to even fewer white birthrates. More white men intermarry with chinks than white women who have nigger babies. Point this out, and there will be seething. The truth is, very few men actually have what it takes to save our race, and even fewer are willing to act on that.

what

In every muscle and every vein and every sinew of this house there is a deep gash. A great gash sweltering with blood. And it’s hard to even give expression to it clearly because the very art of writing suggests itself to exaggeration and hyperbole. One cannot pin down a fact about the world in writing without making the composition itself the focus of one’s attention — which words to use, what phrases, what timing. Like a sculptor knocking away at marble to reveal the figure underneath, the writer “knocks away”, as it were, at all the imperfections of his psyche, and with the meagre tools offered to him by the alphabet, attempts to pin down something real, unique, and eternal. And yet this very “pinning down”, this very act, makes the writer enslaved to what is Everlasting rather than temporary, to the General rather than the particular. The sculptor cannot sculpt his own girl; he must give way to the Female Form as considered in the most general and most abstract sense. And in so doing he loses all the particularities of his own girl. This is natural for the artist, to lose what is dear to him in service of dearer Beauty.

Why have my feelings toward my ex not subsided, almost 2.5 years after we've broken up? We've both since "moved on" (at least superficially, in the sense that we have new serious partners) but I have this lingering longing for her. We were together for 4 years and there was such a special bond between us. When we broke up, there was no closure. No final discussion. We simply agreed to no longer see each other, and we respected each other's distance. I wrote her a letter a few months after our breakup, but I asked her not to respond out of respect for our separation, although I quietly had hoped that she would respond. She never did. Now, I'm ready to start a new with a new woman who I love, but I'll always look back at this one who escaped me. I still fantasize, rather pathetically, about getting back with my ex five or ten years from now. Is this normal, am I deranged, will this ever subsidize and will the malaise wither with time?

I got into a monogamous relationship with a woman in late 2020 and I'm still with her today, only that I've cheated on her with at least 20 different women. Each time I justified it because she would never find out, since each affair took place in foreign countries abroad, and that we would eventually break up anyway. Only now I truly love my girlfriend and want to stay with her, but I know I've secretly wronged her in the worst of ways.

>>20601779
I am fucking beyond terrified I will end up like this. I had no closure last month, was engaged, got abused for months on end, I stayed still trying to help his alcoholism and everything. I have also been planning the letter option for in a few months time but I can't even last that long, I'm probably going to attempt suicide again before that. He didn't even break up with me himself, he has his mother do all of it, including removing all my belongings and returning every gift I ever gave him too. We had an amazing life together and everything in common. I don't think he will find another person like me, but at the same time all I can do is look back and feel like I was walking garbage and was never good enough. Probably from the abuse.

I have no job and it stresses me the fuck out

I'm starting college next month. At the age of 27. I am so nervous. Most other students are either my age or older (mostly Indians and Asians it seems) so it's not like I'm in class with kids fresh out of highschool.
Still feels strange attending college in my late 20s.
But it will be fun. Have to go into the city each day, a nice change to my routine of hanging around at home and only working when I need the money.
I hope there are some cute ethnic girls in my class.

>>20603439
It’s always amusing when neets try to assume some type of high ground to rationalize their neetdom. The mind is powerful and protects it’s self. Same with incels. All they do is cope for why they are losers

>>20603452
What I don't get is how NEETs physically survive.
Are there that many permissive parents out there?
Or is public assistance that permissive?
Has there ever been a time when so many people were able to CHOOSE not to be productive?
I mean, apart from the fall of Rome.

how do I obtain the mandate of heaven

>>20603469
In their defense, the workforce and economy are an overcrowded hellhole. It’s hard to get your foot in the door if you’ve been unemployed or never employed. You’ll need to know someone. Most neets are depressed as apathy is a major sign of depression. I think most parents love their children despite their faults. I don’t ever think I could put my child on the streets just because they aren’t working. If they are harming themselves or the household, it’s a different story. Then tough love is needed.

>>20603439

I had never been employed, but got the job because I aced the interview.
Then I quickly proved myself to be a very useful employee.
I wasn't lucky; I was prepared and hard-working.
I also had no choice; there was no home to go back to. My parents divorced while I was in college.

If a NEET can't find employment, what's stopping them from getting education or training?
Because they're gonna suddenly learn a lot about survival once their disgusted parent kick them out.
Or else they'll find out how many homeless people can feed from their barbecued corpse.
>>20603673
The grasshopper died. Painfully.

>If a NEET can't find employment, what's stopping them from getting education or training?
NEET here. I have two degrees. 40 applications last year. 2 interviews, got the second job but it was short term (both jobs I found out by facebook links and only the second one was tenuously related to my degrees, never use 'Indeed' my sick-of-being-NEET bros).
Now it probably is important, but for con text I'm not in the states, yet sill in a top 10 country by GDP per capita.
if it was easy to get a job, especially one I was actually good/trained for, I'd have it.

>>20603904
Correction: Seasonal is probably better description than "short term". I expect to get called back this year.
