looking for work, please boost 

Might as well look for a better job.

But, my skills v. much do NOT include effectively *looking* for work. At all.

I've worked in the translation industry (10+ yrs full-time plus freelance work), I speak PL natively, EN near-perfectly, some FR. Know some coding basics.

Will do just about anything (ethical) for $1900+/€1700+ per month. Stable-ish, trans-friendly and remote work would be best, but any paid work I'm capable of doing is great.

Current Mood...

Soo sleepy hate for daylight savings time..

EXCITE NEW DESK SHIPPED... (work bought a shiny uplift eco-curve v2 commerical sit-standing desk for my home workspace!)

FUCK I HAVE TO REARRANGE MY BED ROOM BEFORE SETTING UP NEW DESK D:

Capitalism, Ethics and Narcissism 

If we accept that capitalism encourages people to take risks and cause harm where it is likely to result in a personal monetary gain, then it's not hard to conclude that individuals drawn to management within industries of questionable ethics may very likely trend narcissist if not full on sociopath. :thonk:

rant, tech work, superbad deployment process, oncall.. wanna get high and sleep 

I am so tired... 3 hours of sleep... I just wanted to have a gummi and sleep until tomorrow... but graaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwrrrr... I'm oncall until Monday.. holy fuck our core production deployment system is so broken.. and for some reason the oncall person is responsible for the weekly core push to prod... and I my day started when I got paged at 5am.. did not end until like almost 8pm because I was supervising my first core push... and it was so busted and messy.. argh.. I have so many angry notes about things that should definitely change about the process. I have no idea how the fuck.. it has been like this for.. apparently several years..

it has been a long time since I've been paged at 5 in the morning... it still sucks ass.

I know an old punk
whose pierced nose
remains hidden
behind the N95 mask
he dutifully wears
and when I ask him
if he still wears it
because his aesthetic
has never cared for norms
he replies that he wears it
because nothing is more punk
than giving a shit
about other people.

horny furry scene description 

I wonder how the average early-nineties cyberpunk enjoyer would have reacted to a plot point of “The hacker checked her VR feed; the target system’s on-call sysadmin was still happily pretending to be a fox-boy getting stuffed down the dick of his shark-lady lover. All those remote-controlled vibrators in Admin Tod should drown out anything his pager did if Chilton set off his ICE.”

I am sure it would have been taken as humor, at best. But here we are in the early twenty-first century and “what’s your fursona” is a secret handshake for half the people who run the Internet.

re: Pathfinder, Outlaws of Alkenstar minor spoilers, mostly GM griping. 

@Draekos The first book of Guns of Alkenstar has really fucking weird decisions in it.

Heavily encourages players to play gun based characters.. Tosses in a bunch of constructs early on that are resistant to physical damage.

Like they are "thematic" enemies for the story but make no fucking sense from the perspective of making the module fun and interesting to play.

re: food. ( - ) 

@Draekos Meat bodies are such a chore sometimes.

enby - work/appearence/pronouns/hair 

So last night I had a horrible encounter with some scissors and ending up cutting my hair very short chasing a mis-cut... because it's been 3 years since I've seen a stylist.. and my hair has been a mess.

Like it has been this short in years.. my bangs literally stop at my jaw line everything kinda follows that.

Since my hair is too short to put up (which I used to do to keep it from getting tangled with headphones) I wore it down for all my meetings this morning..

During all of them, everyone reference me unprompted used fem pronouns.. which usually people that aren't paying attention have used masc in the past.

(My HR profile, gsuite, slack, zoom and everything else at this company lists they/them as my pronouns and a lot of folks not on my team or that are not queer I guess miss that)

I was pretty upset about how short I cut my hair last night... but honestly I feel lot less crappy over it now.

New desktop pc.. did the thing... now I have to like go set everything up and move a bunch of crap so it is not just awkwardly sitting next to me and so I remove the old massive core x9 chassis with my old one..

Fucking hell.. another atmospheric river and flood watch... this is like number 5 since new years eve.

re: uspol silly 

@kistaro No one deserves to have US Mil personal in their homes!

@mawr Makes sense.. I really want to do the sitting/standing powered desk thing.. because while I don't want to stand all the time.. just being able to swap it up regularly over the course of the day would be really nice and probably a lot better for my back and joints!
