Pictured: "Vacation Time." Also, my allowance for this month.
When you're doing a bunch of monotonous, seemingly pointless exercises involving re-typing the resume you just freaking submitted to them 18 times, it can get a bit boring. The only break in the static dreariness is the occasional situational question:
An Angry Guest™ has entered the hotel lobby and is protesting Obamacare by shooting pigs and yelling "Daddy's Home!" at the top of his lungs. How would you address the situation?
A. Take cover, draw your service pistol, and shoot the pig-slaying jerk. Pigs are people, too!
B. Start drinking again.
C. Join in the revelry and slay the pigs. There'll be tons of bacon afterwards!
D. This isn't real, John. You're in a coma.
It's the little things in life.
When you finally get to shut the computer down (or elect to continue your eye strain to write blogs, like my masochistic self), you get this feeling of "well that was nice. Let's stare at the wall for the next 15 minutes."
"I swear, that one brick is sentient..."
You need something to fill the time. And whatever you choose, from writing to archery to training monkeys to steal for you, is your hobby.
For me, my hobby is baking.
In fact, right now I've got a [haha, nice try Fiancée. You'll find out later] rising in a bowl right now, soon to be baked into delicious goodness.
There's just something about baking that I find fascinating. It's part science and part art. There's measurements and finesse. And the best part...
you get to eat your creation.
Not only is baking a culinary exercise, but I've also learned a lot about it through practicing like this. Last week I made two breads without any recipe at all.

They sucked.
But that was okay, because everything in life is a learning process. Even job searching is a learning process. And while it might suck hardcore today, tomorrow is always a new opportunity. A new journey to find new lands.
And a new indigenous people to subdue!
