One House-Sitting Gig Done, Another to Go

By Great White Snark | The Snark Returns: Random Musings from The GWS | 2 Mar 2025

Hey bee itches! I'm back (although you probably didn't even notice my brief abscence). I hope you had a great weekend.

I've just got back from a house-sitting gig and am due to start another one tomorrow night if I'm not mistaken. It's pretty sweet and easy money for doing nothing other than feeding pets and watching TV all day. (I binge watched Netflix for four days, taking breaks only to eat, sleep and pee.) OK, so I might have bonded with a Jack Russel terrior named Rusty and ended up with my clothes covered in white hairs, but it was worth the dough.

I have no other news, other than I need to get a pair of quality running shoes, since the cheapish pair I bought not that long ago are falling to pieces and are beyond repair. I'm not surprised, though; I've worn them just about every day since I purchased them.

Until the next time I have something worth writing a few to several paragraphs,
Snark out!

Great White Snark

I'm currently seeking fixed employment as a S/W & Web developer (C# & ASP .NET MVC, PHP 8+, Python 3), hoping to stash the farmed fiat and go full Crypto, quit the 07:30-18:00 grind. Unsigned music producer; snarky; white; balding; smashes Patriarchy.

The Snark Returns: Random Musings from The GWS

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!
