Dodged a bullet today. A colleague at work that I met in the hallway and had a chat with last Tuesday tested positive on the weekend after not feeling well since Wednesday. My test came back negative, let us see how many in the department he managed to get infected.

you asshats. scrublover and babs and also trumbullhucker are all in ct. i'm from ct and other than the winters it's dope and close to shit like thunder, at least the northern central part of the state where i'd be.

no oneheadhunted me for a jorb in philly and charlotte is about as much of an "urban" area as i want to live in. small museum focused on american art with potential to grow and more than double current salary (despite increased responsibility) ticks a lotta boxes. shall explore further.

carry on.

Spent some time tailoring my resume for an open job position. Then I apply and I get "you have 20 minutes to answer the following 7 questions" after downing a few beers. The way I see it is if it they don't like drunk westy, they won't like sober westy.

your jorb applications and mine are...very different

common denominators appear to be "beers" and "if it was meant to be"...

So what you are saying is an art curator and engineering hack are different? Probably.

My biggest frustration was that they never asked "have you lived on or built your own boat" cuz the answer was yes and relevant.

They did ask why I wanted to leave my current position. I did manage to not say, fuck these fucking fuckers, but I probably should have.
