Abroad Burger, Chapter 1: The Gambia

Hey there reader(s) and let me welcome you to a new installment on SimonSays staring Abroad Burger! Abroad Burger is a little foam *cough* uhh burger who was made to accompany my father on his Peace Corp travels. Since he only goes on these trips a few times a year, however, A.B. (as he's known to his friends) will be shipped around the world (roaming gnome style) so that we may live vicariously through his journeys.

So, without further exposition, Chapter 1: The Gambia

The REVAMP!

So, yeah, unemployment can be a real drag.
I've kept busy but I'm the first one to admit that making stuffed squirrels that very few people buy is a depressing occupation to put on a business card. However, even in these troubling economic times where everyone is hurting, I can't help but take every rejection letter or un replied email a bit personally. I mean come on! I know tons of underqualified and undertalented people who manage to find decent employment. Maybe I smell a bit at interviews or something...

Any who, as times get more grim for Jamie: designer, Jamie: quirky artist type takes the reigns as the primary persona. If stuffed squirrels weren't enough to convince you, stay tuned for the further adventures of the unemployed right here on SimonSays.
