the good news is that I don't have to somehow get my parents to respect my boundaries so I can get back to Seattle by 8 tomorrow, but the BAD news is instead they want to see me Sunday, which'll be an all day deal. I'm gonna try to see this as "I can use space between this week's job hunt and them."
It's been a while since I went into coyote cooking frenzy - maybe the sink being down REALLY soured my mood to cook - but tonight I made mashed parsnips, stewed romano beans, prepped and fried livers to make chopped liver salad later. Made vaguely Italian mushroom-bacon-tomato stuff for dinner figuring I should cook while I have spoons to do so.
actually the real "back in the day" story is;
* the gaming club met monthly in the basement of Sergeant Pepper's Pizza Circus (not even Chuck E Cheese, a Chuck E Cheese KNOCKOFF) off Beauford Highway
* everyone ignored the space required, speed factor and AC adjustment rules given on p 38 of your PHB
* literally ubiquitous houserule that all PCs got one 18, roll 4d6 minus lowest for all other stats
@eredien I gotta wonder about the specific stitch that shows up in the article. And yay! Copper River! I knew about that happening!
@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!
@ziphi this place had so much awesome stuff!
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
