I am still feeling really broken right now.

I still feel bad, but not completely terrible. This one thing hit all of my baggage. I think I might move very slowly for the rest of the day, maybe for a few days.

I need to remember that there are a lot of reasons people might like me.

Okay, I had a little crying jag, and I have the GOOD variety of bowl noodle as breakfast, and I walked away from something that was upsetting me. And I got some good news in the mail, and did put in for a fuckton of jobs.

Trying to breathe. Trying to remember my life is more inclusive and large and cumulative than what's making me unhappy right now.

applied for a batch of jobs, did a few evaluations. I have been repeatedly asked to call this recruiter, which suggests their metric is calls rather than contacts and that they do not, in fact, have a position which I can work on. I realize that something I was looking at earlier which really upset me was a carefully curated presentation, but honestly, everything has been feeling lousy today.

"Is everything up?"
"The lot."
"Reserves?"
"None."
"That's what I've just told the Prime Minister."

Wishing I were a woman, probably for all the wrong reasons.

hey kids it's time to blast "Siegfried's Death and Funeral March" and incongruously quote the Sayings of the Most High.

Never go away from home ahead of your sword and axe
You can't fortell a fight
Nor feel a battle in your bones

The Izimpisi mass on the border, ready to fight and die for their Inkosikasi. uWhup!

"Limo Wreck," also from Superunknown, is a pretty solid song about Loki imho.

as long as we're talking generational stuff;

They claimed Smells Like Teen Spirit was my generation's anthem. Not only is it not Nirvana's best song, it's not even the best song on "Nevermind" - kinda like declaring "Money" to be the best Pink Floyd track.

Instead I kinda think if Gen X were gonna *have* an anthem, it'd be "Head Down" by Soundgarden.

Paying a bill and talking to a recruiter about a commission only job somehow did not assuage the terrible feelings. Gonna use my frequent customer card to get a big latte and see if I can send out resumes.

DeviantArt is incredibly discouraging, and I'm thinking maybe it's time I deleted my account there.

My mood's going through the floor. I think I should sleep some.

Yeah, on second thought eating all the cookies was a terrible idea, and this is definitely too late in the evening to listen to Circle Jerks.

I’m trying to work through some of this DBT workbook but I’m distractable and nervous, so this might be a short attempt tonight.

uspol rant 

Y'know, I'm all for getting 45 out of office for collusion with a foreign power, especially if it this also gets Pence, McConnell and Sessions out of power where they can't hurt my country.

But at some level I wish it were possible to get 45 out of power for his use of office personal profit, for sexual abuse, for putting forward policy that hurts the country, etc; acknowledge this in ways beyond "we have an election coming up so vote Dem like you always do as an obedient leftist."

hot job hunting take; dealing with recruiters in any form is basically the most energy intensive part of job hunting other than an actual interview.

from today (the barbarians) and tightened up today (the other three!). CW for nudity, song lyrics.

started before I left for Seattle and finished this afternoon. CW for nudity.
