Hooray pie!
I can see how that would rankle, Jesse.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not like I've done any work myself aside from several meetings this morning. I just did a copy-and-paste task I really could have delegated, but figured I was better off doing that than doing nothing...

Welp, rejected for the most recent job I applied/phone screened for, damn it.
Already had pie for lunch.
Did NOT expect this rejection to lead to actual factual ugly crying, but apparently I am out of cope.

Ugh, I'm so sorry, Plei.

Job-hunting is such a demoralizing task.

I'm sorry Plei.

Last time I had to job hunt, I had padding because I'd been laid off from an FTE position and got a package. This time, there's no padding at all (in large part because of huge medical expenses) and I'm far less optimistic about my prospects than I was when I started out last time.
I mean, I had suffered from the delusion that 7.5 years at a major company and a decent-sized network would help me get something decent and that particular delusion has long since vanished in the face of the realities of a niche skillset.
So I guess it's time to pull the trigger on Operation Sell the Car and then pay off as much of my remaining personal debt as I can with whatever proceeds I get. Pity. I love that car.

Job-hunting is terrible. It's like having a job you hate and not getting paid for it and also carrying around a giant ball of stress. Extreme sympathies, PMM.

Job hunting is like constantly inviting people to kick you in the crotch.

Shrift, ugh that's annoying.
Jesse, I can see why you would be annoyed.
Plei, I'm sorry. Job~ma for you.
Buffistas spicy brains really need to be better appreciated by employers.
Connie, I've never had an apartment with curtain rods already up. I've always had to put up my own.
