@obscurestar@beach.city @obscurestar@mastodon.social despite being completely sober listening to this Hallucinogen album reminds me of the quote "I forgot how much acid I took NOW THAT'S A PROBLEM"

@GraySpots and when at last I've murdered
the man in the moon to a powder
his staff I'll break and his dog I'll shake
and there'll 'owl no demon louder

@frost They did have a fair number of older and not necessarily that good taxidermy mounts. To the museum's credit, there's only one area (which seems to be part of a back area which'd have study skins etc) which is oh hey, dead animals. The rest of the dead animals were contextualized as "look, here's how evolution is this big sprawling mess and different critters fit it in different ways" or "this is local to Puget Sound."

@frost I think you should. I bet people would really like you for various desktop support positions.

@frost Touchy feely. Remember the people who come up with the job listings can be hiring managers (so they really just want to get back to their actual job) or HR people (who don't have the technical expertise). So "X years of experience in Foo" might reflect that, or be an attempt to weed out folks whose experience is reading Foo For Dummies and will go "this is more than I can do."

I'd say apply for SOME of them, not all, especially if there's other stuff which you know you can do.

@frost Aggravating stuff it'd be useful to tuck in your head about job hunting, so you get less frustrated when you run into it;

1) there will be online applications which promptly make you re-enter EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION you already put on your resume

2) as you've discovered, there are online applications which will require information there's really no way to necessarily remember

3) occasionally things will be legit BROKEN, and you won't be able to get your stuff to go through.

@frost yeah. These things are tailored at people who have all that information easily at their fingertips - and walking away rather than digging for everything buys you more time to look for other jobs. If they don't require it, great!

I'm going to reuse the joke about "Zootopia x Dark City fanfic is just Blacksad" because I'm listening to the Dark City soundtrack and it's STILL funny.

* stands outside the privs *

The spirits white as lightnin' all on me travels guide me
The stars would shake and the moon would quake whene'er they espied me!
Still I sing bonny boys bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live on the air and they want no drink nor money!

Here’s something I thought was really cool on a Smilidon fossil!

@Kishi Thanks! Hallucinogen I kinda sorta know, Younger Brother I don't.

Well… I did get a soy sauce chicken, which became also getting bok choy, roma beans to stew, canned lo han chai, oden etc AND since the Russian grocery is nearby I’m getting pelmeni and hopefully pirogi and kvass. This is why I was reluctant to stop for soy sauce chicken.

turning out to be an absolutely abysmal night in the sleep department
