Not even "Walking on Sunshine"?
Katrina and the Waves don't evoke pleasant childhood memories of watching Sesame Street for me, so nope.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No one else I applied to even responded. Which means I need to work on my resume/cover letter skills, I guess.
Eh. A small percentage of my electronic submissions got a reply. Most of the attention I get is from positions I'm pointed towards by friends or recruiters. I can't imagine what the inboxes of people posting vacancies on the web look like.
Congratulations!
Not that one should be using my job search as an illuminating one. Everybody's getting jobs but me. The recruiter thing is slow and torturous. Which reminds me, time to go ping a couple.
Man, my life can straighten out and make remote sense any time now.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Thanks, all.
I was going to ask if at least the night shift hours were better.
3pm to 11:30pm. Not terrible, all things considered. Left to my own devices, I normally stay awake until 1 or 2am and then sleep until 10am or so. So absolutely no danger of hitting the snooze button one too many times.
Kalshane, that's great. 15 minutes is a much shorter commute than your old job too, right?
Actually, nope. Old job was a 5 minute commute. But since I always went home for lunch with my old job, and it's not really feasible with new job, I won't really be using up that much more gas.

The recruiter I was working with didn't end up doing much of anything for me, though in their defense their focus was more on jobs within the city itself and most of their clients were looking for specialized systems people, rather than end-user support.
The consulting/staffing firm, however, got me this position within 8 days of first contact. I was hesitant to go with them at first due to wanting a permanent position, not to play the contracting game, but it ended up working out really well. Looking at their website, they have an L.A. office. Though it's likely you've already communicated with them by now.

Plus, still time to get a drink after work if you wanted!

There are a lot of resources out here--I may very well have left this untapped. Want to sling me their name to my profile email address? Someone I know recommending a job search resource helps me sift through the morass.
If they handle project managers, that is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good job, Kalshane!
I love pop-up books. When I was little, I was the Queen of Pop-Up Books.
Theo, I hope your hard drive magically fixed itself while you were at work.

YAY KALSHANE! Verra nice.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Congrats on the job, Kalshane.
