hrrmmphhh - already got a "looking at candidates that are better suited" email for on of the jobs I applied for yesterday - and that was one I thought I could do with virtually no learning curve.

So annoying when it's probably an algorithm that rejected you on the basis of a missing keyword or two. I suspect that one of the reasons that I got the job at Youville is that there was an Actual Human Being reading through the responses.

I had a resident take a fall today -- luckily, she didn't bruise anything except for her dignity, but I'm not allowed to help her to her feet, so the nurse had to come to check her over and get her back up safely. I felt so bad, regardless. And another one of my particular favorites had to call 911 for an ambulance ride early this morning, so I'm crossing fingers for a nice old retired fireman.

In other news, my uncle is now in assisted living in St. Louis and my poor remaining cousin is having to coordinate packing up and selling a condo and two houses in South Carolina, essentially by herself.

I applied for 2 more jobs tonight. TAKE THAT!

So I have been not considered for any position I have applied for at JHU.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yay for mac getting in an apartment!

msbelle, job hunting is so demoralizing. So far I've been rejected or ignored for every job I've applied for. At this point I'm calculating how much freelance work I'll have to do to make a living at it.

It's actually good that at least jhu sends the rejection/not being considered emails -at least that is something.

JHU is notoriously hard to break into.

Home. Unpacked. Logged into work to reset a security thing. 521 emails & my slack is bonkers. Didn't read any of it.

Can count on not waking to a curly black sheeppoodle staring at me in the dark, but the cats will be a bunch more annoying. Already really into my hair, dirty laundry, everything.

Odds I get sick went up astronomically after a very cold-sick lady had to take the last seat next to me on the first leg. She did reassure (?) me that her immune system is crap because cancer, so mine would probably fight it off. I laughed & mentioned I was taking methotrexate for RA, so all bets off.

But it wasn't snowing when I landed.

It's still snowing here! But I'd guess we've got less than 4 inches, and it looks like it will be finally quitting at noonish.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It stopped here! I find it funny I realized we would be getting snow because Cashmere posted her new snowblower on Facebook

I made Keto cookies last night and I super over ate. But it is the first sweet thing I have had in two years and they were so good. Also, thanks to Theo, I found the panic button on the fire alarm! I am really enjoying cooking again

We're staying home today again because the roads don't look great here. There is not enough tea.
