Big accomplishment today: took the census application exam. Got a 26 out of 28, which impressed the test administrator; I'd like to know what I MISSED. Probably won't hear from them for a couple of weeks, he said; no guarantees, he said; but at least it's a step. And if I get it, they pay well.

Finished the Initial Sort over at [livejournal.com profile] matociquala's last Thursday. All those boxes and piles in the original picture got reduced to two bankers' boxes with brightly colored folders organizing their contents, and one box for the archivist, plus a half-full plastic thingummy holding obsolete software and a 56K modem, which [livejournal.com profile] matociquala said ought to be labeled "Pieces of String Too Small to Save," because she's a Yankee, and she's required.

Remember the marbled goat cheese brownies I mentioned? [livejournal.com profile] standuponit baked them this weekend, and the recipe's up at his LJ. I haven't had any yet, but I'm thinking I might need to make a batch to take to Hot Foods. Then again, I may just make my Hot Pepper Jelly Fruity Oaty Bars instead.

Smaller accomplishments today: got a library card, went to the grocery store.

Remaining essential tasks for today: dishes and dinner. Planning on cottage pie.

Marbled goat cheese brownies sound really good. That was the first thing that caught my eye in the post.

That's the sort of food idea that comes up when [livejournal.com profile] matociquala and I are in the same room. She just actually baked them.

Another interesting thing about goat cheese: you can substitute it for cream cheese in rugelach dough and it's DELICIOUS.

Applying to be a census-taker person? That should be an interesting job. Good luck! Much love for the Stoned Monkey icon too!

Good luck. I got a perfect score on the census test in November and they never called me. :(

I guess it all depends on the number of applicants? I hope I get it, but it's not the only option I'm pursuing.

It probably depends on where you live. I don't think there are maybe undocumented people in my middle class suburban neighborhood. :P

Cottage pie, with [livejournal.com profile] eternaleponine in the house? Bzuh?

Quorn grounds. It's one of her favorite dishes, that way.

Does kidlet eat it? I'd be willing to try an Advanced Shepherds Pie Substitute...though for shepherds I cheat and use the Colmans seasoning mix.

No, kidlet doesn't like it, which is why I tend to make it on Mondays or Tuesdays.

Good luck! It's very easy, but I maybe got the management question wrong.
