Ah, the life of the unemployed. I have officially applied for close to 30 different jobs, all over the country, received two "no thank yous" and am trying to continue to patiently wait. I have as of late taken up various and sundry hobbies. The latest has been card stacking. The below pictures show the creation of 1am this morning. (I have found insomnia to be a side effect of unemployment.)
This structure took four decks of cards and was three stories high. Thanks to the grandparents for being card players and my mother for being too sentimental and unable to part with the cards when we cleaned out their condo. The stack was built in the middle of the kitchen floor. As you can see from the pictures, I decided to employ the square/I-beam design as opposed to the triangle. It was an incredibly strong structure, as shown by my water bottle perched on the top in the picture below.
I basically mopped the kitchen floor sliding around working on the stack and then setting the timer on my camera and taking pictures with my creation. I was thrilled to see it withstood my father's early morning breakfast routine.
Now, if only my grandparents had been domino players....

you are hilarious! Good for you for finding a new hobby! :) Maybe you can put that on your resume!
