positives:
my new job likes me. somehow this temp agency communicated to them that I was only available part time, my supervisor is reaching out to HR looking into full time for me now. Orientation starts early January, matching 401K, I could stay here a long time doing this job until a dream opportunity came along

my writing is seen by a lot of people, and I get paid for it

My mom is coming to town today, we're going to see Stevie Wonder tomorrow

no major complaints
