…give it to someone else.

Oh, fine. I obviously had some issues with the whole work-for-no-pay-yet-be-taxed-on-it thang. Next!

Leaving the Psychoanalyst, by Remedios Varo

I’m funny that way. Maybe Guido has at last made a Capitalist of me?

Nah.

Here, listen to some rousing folk rock about the military-industrial complex, creeping fascism, and the IMF. I always find that cures it.

And by the way, there’s already a fat, ripe emergency for the new hiree to deal with and no, I didn’t cause it. So for that reason alone I’m glad I didn’t get the job.

Also, oh god how I love that painting. “Woman Leaving the Psychoanalyst’s Office” by Remedios Varo.

The internet moves at the speed of thought. Which explains why it takes this blog so long to load, eh?

On the other hand, if I get the job I will earn money, but I will not now, nor in the future, actually receive the money.
