hmmm @Leucrotta @wolfe

you mentioned delivery driving as a job

and while I don't wanna do pizza

maybe we could be a post office mail carrier? :3

@Leucrotta @wolfe ...oh, fuck. of FUCKING COURSE they want 2 years of driving experience.

How are we supposed to get said driving experience without starving to death??

@frost @wolfe yeah, but you've been looking for tech jobs, you *know* this one - the employer ideally wants someone with about 2-5 years of experience (so they need to train them less/don't risk really terrible mistakes/don't need to pay as much as a more senior employee). It might not be a complete killer. Time to poke at your job/housing coordinator type and see what they think?

@Leucrotta @wolfe Huh!! I figured that would be a hard requirement, didn't think about the possibility it might be negotiable.

There's also the fact that they might just be assuming Everyone Has Always Had A License and what they /really mean/ is "hasn't had actively Bad History in the past N years". We don't have Bad History, just no history!

@Leucrotta @wolfe I emailed whatsherface on Saturday about setting up a meeting this week and never got a reply. Assuming I got her email right. (But I would hope that if not, it would send a bounce.)

@Leucrotta @wolfe I sent another email.

It got lost in the æther, thank fuck I'd copied it to clipboard out of habit... second time actually worked. (And then the sent copy ALSO vanished, and I had to track it down. Turns out it landed in some trash folder in a different mail account. ???? Email, I swear.)
