Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Finally, I can post! My computer's been wonky all morning and refused to let me type in the little box. Dammit, I want to try to contribute!

Yay, Zoe!

And then I keep thinking about the whole "dudes apply for jobs when they have 40% of the qualifications" or whatever, and that's how I ended up looking at this company where my equivalent person has so little experience.

Thanks for the reminder, meara. Definitely need to get looking more seriously. (Just heard from supervisor that they decided not to hire this person they've been interviewing, and she has to make sure that the three of us on her team are "ready to cover" her stuff when she's gone [retiring in just under a month]. But I'm assuming the shitty annual review is going to be an excuse to give me a shitty/no raise this year. So, no raise to do that much more work. Who's surprised I'm looking for the exit?) I need to remember not to be intimidated by these job descriptions that list 8 bajillion things and try to think "like a man" about it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Instagram, also.

Our wings are not tired.

The swear it isn't a DDoS attack. But I didn't hear any other good reason.

FB being down is super annoying today because it is my work from home day and I was listing several things for sale for myself and my friend.

What are everyone's favorite used book buying sites? Other than the usual eBay/Etsy/Abe Books? There's a vintage gothic romance paperback I'm desperate to track down, and I'm having no luck.

t the vintage gothic romance tag never closes in my world

That bomb cyclone is doing a number on Utah, as well. Nasty ass winds and whiteouts.

Gud, are things better this week on the job front? Settling in?

So far things are pretty normal. I have a meeting with higher ups tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.
