A rebirth of this site has happened. After several years of working to switch industries and heal from severe burnout, I worked my way into a prep cook position at a local taphouse. Unfortunately, that position came with little-to-no-training, a difficult crew, and other challenges. I’ve been without any place to gather my thoughts because not long before I was given this opportunity, I delete this web site.
Backed it up and hit format star dot star.
I’m excited to have a space where I can jot down my thoughts and insights about this experience because I’m sure that I will look back and giggle at my learning process. I don’t expect to have answers that will serve anyone but own situation and with the rise of AI, I know the chances of being read at all are slim to none.
But here I am: a cricket in the darkness.
I’m considering re-uploading a few of my older articles after I edit them. Some of the content was actually quite good and even though the older stuff I have on the site now is a little raw, I’m planning on making this a fairly simple site. I don’t plan to use social media. I don’t want to find out my stuff has been stolen or scraped, but I don’t think there’s much one can do anymore anyway. The lack of a space of expression has left me feeling repressed and angry. I’m also trying to avoiding playing into capitalism as much as possible, but I’m not going to leave money on the table either. Things are hard and I live in the United States where it’s even harder.
Okay then.
