Let's do this again. Same recipe as last time (5 months ago 😭) but quarter coins and a touch of the brine from previous ferment. (why is it so hard for me to make myself do this?!)

Learned recently that the CEO at my former job makes 36x what I did. What. The. F***. There is no way his contribution is 36x mine. Eat the damn rich.

There isn't much in "acceptable" art that speaks to me (more giant robots please) but this does. It's by Jesse LeDoux for Starbucks. I contacted him and asked for a print, but it was only made for Starbucks. :(

Yeah, this helped. It wasn't easy. My habit it to come here or other places and doom scroll. I had to stop myself multiple times.

I gotta stay off social media. I spiraled hard yesterday. I love you all and I love being part of your lives, but the doom and gloom news makes me wanna give up. I get all my fun stuff from social media, though. I love y'all, giant robots, fun memes... this sucks.

@kenperson.bsky.social indie game for you. Spell brigade. It's still early access. It's a vampire survivors clone but multiplayer and cartoony. Still early access, but fun.

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org I can't believe I'm doing this. I can't believe I have to tell my congresspeople to get off their asses. This timeline is the worst.

Normally I just post one job hunting stupidity per day to avoid being overwhelming, but this is just... too much. The job was reposted 21 hours ago and isn't taking applications anymore. WTF?

Today's job hunting stupidity: titling a job when it's not what EVERYONE else in the industry calls that. Industry standard title is low-travel, sustaining engineering. The posted title is high-travel, new-project engineering. Sigh. Waste of everyone's time. grr

Job interview today. Pray for me, wish me luck. I'm cautious because there's been 1 red flag, but no company is perfect. It looks interesting, but with all the rejections I'm starting to think something's wrong with me. ... and they just rescheduled from morning to afternoon. lol.

Audience poll for ya - 1) What's the minimum polite/acceptable lead time for an interview request? 2) What's the minimum polite/acceptable lead time for a meeting invite sent via email? I'll RT this with my situation's shenanigans after y'all gimme some replies.

Today's job hunting stupidity: A salary range of 50K to 250K. What the hell, that might as well be anything.

Today's job searching anxiety: Is that call I'm getting from a spammer offering to buy the house for $20 or is it a hiring manager? (It's never a hiring manager, it's always a spammer... but my anxiety isn't rational.)

Accidentally made twice as much starter as I meant to (my scale is weird sometimes) so that means 2 loaves!

Today's job hunting oddity: The concept of Factory Acceptance Testing is used a lot in manufacturing. The acronym is very unfortunate, lol.
