@emanate @mawr @green @bird@scholar.social Hey, some people haven't heard.

So, any Air Force plane that the president is on is supposed to be called Air Force One, right?

So, there was a seriously missed opportunity in the first Independence day for President Whitmore to announce

"Air Force 1, Fox 2!" when he's taking the first shots at the alien city killer spaceship when it's approaching Area 51.

Updating. Can't keep calling woe when things aren't bad, can I?

Inbox pinged with another favorable response to the resume blast i sent out 2 weeks ago, working data center for an international river themed online retailer headquartered locally.

Phone screen is scheduled for tomorrow during my lunch break.

Position wants some certs I don't currently have, but I don't anticipate any difficulty obtaining them.

Updating: Phone screen is complete. Not my best work. Was so amped up with nervousness that I was rushing through my answers and running out of breath while i was speaking.

Kept my use of thinking syllables down, I think, so I didn't sound too inarticulate, and i think I was really able to nail appropriate and convincing answers. Made the human on the other end laugh a few times, which has worked good for me before.

Hopefully this works out. Thanks for listening.

@anthracite As cool as it is to get more of my favorite not-stoners from So Cal, I don't know if I can be cool with a Bill and Ted movie that doesn't have George Carlin's Rufus in it. I'm willing to give it a shot, though.

@literorrery The character/outfit you wear to the met gallery show. The theme this year was Catholic Imagination. Lena Waithe wore a pride flag with extra stripes for PoC.

@LexYeen half the point of rice cakes is making them interesting and eatable. They're never supposed to be eaten stock.

@makyo Good lift, Safe landing!

Members of the Tau can still be secret Slaneesh followers, right?

Updating: And I've got a phone screen tomorrow. The company isn't horrible as far as I can tell, and i'm talking directly to them instead of through a contracting agency, so improvement!

Still wish I didn't feel like such a fraud sometimes, though. Been in this game for 10 years, never lost a job because of lack of technical skills, but it's always my tech abilities that give me the most anxiety, not the social part that always bites me in the ass.

Updating: Apparently the universe was bored with my pity party and let me get 1 single reply email asking for my availablity for a phone screen with a technical recruiter. So, I got that going for me.

Not looking forward to all the anxiety about getting rejected after the phone screen, but at least i'll have something new to bitch about.

@ElectricKeet @literorrery eeeeeeeeeeeee! That is looking really pretty on both of you!

Rejection is preferable to being ignored. I haven't gotten anything back except automated responses. For positions that I know i'd be a good match for. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong so that I get stuffed into a waiting pool. I'd rather get told I got tossed into the trash, cause then I'd at least get validation on my self-hatred.

Which I know is a shitty thing to do to myself.

Shows how much I hate job hunting.

@Vann@glitch.social

I tell you once more,
Before I get on the floor,

Don't @ me now.

CGP Grey recently released a very awesome video animation that is an adaptation of Nick Bostrom's "Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant" I watched it last night.

I was surprised when I went looking for more information that instead of it being about the destructiveness of capitalism, apparently, the passage is supposed to be about death.

And I can kinda see that, but honestly? I think i prefer it my way. Take a look.
