Go so to oblivion, 2025. Not that 2026 is likely to be remotely better... My current job, which is familiar
and mindless enough to allow ample audiobook listening time, is relocating out of range of my increasingly unreliable transportation options in spring. I've known
it was coming, of course. I'd hoped it wasn't, but I knew it was. Unfortunately, I loathe job hunting with the fiery passion of ten thousand shirtless pulp romance leads,
and I have all the marketable job skills and resumé shine of a glop of mud. As of now, I'm in the pipeline for a transfer, but a lot is still up in the air,
and there's no guarantee I'll be a good fit with my new role - which would, of course, throw me right back into the hell that is job hunting. Plus two relatives are
supposed to have surgeries for various ailments early in 2026.
So... yeah, right out of the gate, the new year's shaping up to be another gut-kicker with the rusty nail-studded combat boot. What effect all this has on my reading and
reviewing, I don't know, but I doubt it's beneficial; if nothing else, the new role is less likely to be conducive to zoning out with an audiobook. I'd be lying if I said
I expected anything not-terrible going forward, on any level. I suppose it'll be an adventure. (Fingers crossed I steer clear of Candy Mountain on this little
adventure...)

Is it possible to go thirty-one days without something truly terrible happening anymore? Is it really? Seriously, 2025, I get what you're
going for. You're just grinding in the theme at this point.
