Super zeroth world problems stuff 

Putting this here since I don't have a better place to put it:

In order to get the job I want to get, I need to start "networking" with people in the tech industry. Most tech industry people are jerks. And I can barely seem to keep relationships with the friends I think I do have so to add additional stress of maintaining this "network" is not something I'm sure I can do.

Fuck.

@xurnami i have successfully networked once; i am 43 and managed this triumph by being the only other vocal leftist feminist in a workplace. not sure if i'ma pull that one off again. you have my sympathies and i wish you luck.
