Back to freaking out. This cycle is fun.

I’ve talked to security, IT, talent, my manager, updated my resume, applied for 10 jobs, searched though 60 gazillion more, applied for a new clearance, called one bank, and even sort of remembered to eat. This is not sustainable. 🤣

What’s really dumb is that if I could get this certificate, I’d be waaaayy more marketable. But it’s roughly 2k for the course (which is why I’ve never done it). I have the time, but…So dumb. I don’t think it would qualify for reimbursement either bc it’s not directly benefiting my company

So yeah. I got moved to a new contract. But I don’t start until 7/1 ish. And I’ll be short 2 weeks of pto. But I might have a small bonus in there. Self-advocacy. It’s also a temp contract. So I’ll keep looking and pushing bc I don’t want to do this again.

I got more done before 10 am than I usually do by Wednesday. Being differently employed is… motivating.

It did take me 10 minutes to figure out how to encrypt a folder. I’ve held public trust for 6 years. 🤣

It’s a good thing I’m bad at calculating lol it’s *only* one check I’ll be missing. I mean that’s a lot. Like…entire mortgage & hoa payment a lot. (& I live in NoVa lol) but 2 weeks is better than the 6 my 1 am brain was calculating lol

Y’all. I have to fix this. I will have zero income. ZERO between June 7 and July 22. (& I’m not sure that will be 100% bc I’ll owe back insurance). None.

I’ve also started my ocd spreadsheet tracking every link, contact, salary, etc This is where I discovered I accidentally submitted for something that’s about 3x my income. It looked right. I’m guessing I missed something. 🤣 what I do doesn’t pay that… anywhere. Ever. lol

I’ve searched approximately 7000000 jobs. My eyes are tired. Luckily, I have some contacts willing to make submissions for me after I found these listings. Hopefully helps me get to the front of the line. People have been insanely helpful. It’s been moving.

I need to be able to edit. My brain doesn’t work right now. wtf happened in Colorado. 😔 also I have zero faith when I read “fbi is investigating” bc Kash is usually in the next line.

Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters. What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

I don’t technically have a job right now, but I’d give 1 million dollars* to the first person to bring me some sweet tea. *payable over 2 million years.
