#technically my TA job had a really good hourly rate (thank you canadian union of public employees) but we didn't get many hours

on the whole applying for jobs was a slightly soul-crushing experience but it did end up taking basically the ideal length of time: just long enough for me to finish my thesis, get some free macarons from an interview at a bakery, and not have to go to the interview i had scheduled this afternoon (i didn't get hired by the bakery, btw. i got hired by the provincial government, which pays much better)
