Okay! now that orientation is out of the way and I don''t have to sit through introductory classes on "how to be a team player" or "The theory of good IT support" where we learn about the company values and why updating tickets and being honest with users is a good idea, how're things going?

Kind of mixed.
-I still don't have access to some tools. This is nothing new and happens with every job, so NBD.
-I'm going to be iffy and asking for verification on workflows for the next month or two. This is apparently expected behavior, and my predecessor and _his_ new boss are fully expecting him to be distracted by helping me get fully up to speed.
-I'm probably not going to get to slack off like I did with the River Tribe (the last 3 months notwithstanding). There are a lot of disconnected moving pieces I'm going to have to work fast to keep up in the air while I'm building the automation underneath them so I don't have to think fast anymore. And I don't know how they are all shaped yet, how fast they are going, and what breaks when they land. All things that I usually find out about when I fuck up. Trying to not have that happen this time, but its kind of inevitable. It is on my to have as much of my ass covered
-My new boss is probably going to be a hardass that I'm going to end up avoiding as much as possible until we figure out how to work together. He demanded I remove my N7 icon from visibility cause it wasn't professional, even though its basically my look and how i choose to be recognized and be available to anyone who needs me. Whatever. Its just a picture, and I've got it everywhere else!

My lack of attention span bit me last week, though, as I was on ZOOM meetings all day. going over things that are perfectly comprehensible from the intranet documentation. And my fidget cube fell out of my pants, and so maybe I was on my phone while I should've been staring at the glowing webcam dot. In my defense:

All that training could've been an email.

A few months ago, i was complaining about my dentist and someone following me gave a rec for a different one to try and I lost the link.

I've got dental anxiety and need a lot of work, possibly full bridges/surgery and don't want to be aware for any of it.

Can whomever it was re-send? Thank you!

Do adults get to do summer camp? I wanna have a fling by a lake with a hot girl I'll never see again.

Given the choice, I'd rather be a notch in a bedpost, than a line in a song.

Gateway Heavy 02 just arrived on station and needs some proper IFF stickers. Do any of you local friends have a transgender pride vinyl they'd be willing to donate?

*A parade of ATVs slow crawl past your corner, all RuffRyders wearing black BMX helmets with visors. In mornful chorus, their back-seat Ryders singing in mournful chorus "OH! NO! THAT"S HOW RUFFRYDERS ROLL!"*

In my last 2 weeks of working for the River Tribe, I was courted by a recruiter for the Building People, who needed a IT Field Engineer. I adjusted my resume twice, had a web meeting with the recruiter, a phone screen, a technical, and an in-person on Friday.

I did make it home before the recruiter contacted me to let me know there was an intent for job offer, pending the return of the office admin on Monday.

So, instead of the month's long job hunt agony, I have a short 2 week break pending paperwork and unemployment.

I have been sobern't all weekend in celebration, but will be taking some time to notice how things were different from my past experiences, and being grateful for the change.

So... Questionable Content is so very aptly named.

And I love it.

So...

The Coming Out of Their Shells album from the Ninja Turtles has 10 tracks. 8 of them are bops at minimum, and 6 of those are just for-real bangers. There's only 2 that don't really activate me, but shit, they're probably gonna work for someone.

There's a lot of really good and fun lyrics. The one track that might give some people issue is "Walk Straight", cause they keep repeating the line "verb straight" but its more about sticking to your own path, ideals, and goals rather than mutating yourself to fit in. It's not about forcing an orientation on kids.

Favorite Tracks:
Pizza Power
No Treaties
Sing About It

Someone tell me to stop fucking around and get my work done.

The job search mission has officially commenced with the first transmission of my updated resume.

I'm searching for senior IT support positions in the Seattle metro area. Please DM if you work for a non-shitty place that could use an experienced tech who is obsessed with fixing everything she can.

Tech rehearsal completed! Looks like things worked out. Will try again maybe Wednesday and stream for an audience.

Good for Abigail. ​

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I hope today was good for you.

"Tell a stranger the best parts of your life story in 1 page. Leave out anything that might make them question your desirability to be allowed to continue surviving in a world you didn't consent to exist in. Do it in a space-wasting format so they can glance at and not actually care about anything you wrote. Include as many keywords so that their black box algorithm will MORE LIKELY add you to the mailing list of candidates that will also be automatically ignored by yet another black box algorithm. Include your email address and phone number so you can not be contacted for the position you actually applied for, but so you can get spam calls and emails from other PII harvesters who will contact you about jobs in other states, that you aren't qualified for, or wouldn't take for any number of reasons, until you die."

Do this until you actually die.
