Words are inadequate

There's a bit in Steve Martin's book _Shopgirl_ where he talks about how cooking is the best thing a bored single person can do" it's a bit healthier, it's cheaper, and it occupies your time so you're not sitting around bored.

(I still eat frozen burritos once every week or two.)

The trouble with the self-evals here is that they're not just numbers. They're "Tell us why you deserve the rating you gave yourself." Bleh. I'd say it's like writing a college entrance essay, but I never had to do those.
