The Building People (+,+)
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...
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

No longer working for the River Tribe (maybe)
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.
How to write a resume (CW: sarcastic, grumpy subtooting the whole concept) (redrafted)
"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.
