Awww man...... I just read Vin Scully died yesterday. I gave up on baseball after the steroid era, but the Dodgers were my childhood team. RIP
In the office FOR THE FULL DAY. Woe is me, I don't think I've been here in that capacity since March of 2020. At least my coworkers have gifted me a cucumber and a jar of honey?
Sigh. WTF am I doing. Today is a van by the river sorta day.
Had to rope my old man in to going to a screening of Gutsy Girls coz someone else had Covid.
I was giggling to myself coz the first video was of a gay transgender mountain biker, probably not his normal viewing material, hahaha!
Oh and I found out a place that I refused to work at after tagging one of their machines out a year or so ago caught fire, eat a fucking dick you environmental terrorists, hahaha!

Le tired. Heat is getting a bit old, even my cats are tired of it.
Yeah they are grubs, at their last place they were sweeping petrol down the storm water drain, the ground was just a black oily/fuelly waterproof surface, not sure if it was dirt or concrete.
On a side note. Best man for my best friend's wedding this weekend. Been working on the speech for the last few weeks, but full speed last few day (post-test). It's about 2min long now and up to four quotes, and I think I can get at least another 2-3 with another minute of talking. 
hello
slept wonderfully. woke up naturally. had some extra time, so I ran 2.2 miles. Felt OK. Came to work to find out I was a COVID close contact and now I have to wear a mask for a week. Person in question came back from vacation overseas with no mask on and exposed our whole team. I had COVID six weeks ago, so I'm not worried, but sheesh. Good excuse to work from home as much as possible.

Got a three hour hike in last evening. Saw no one else in the woods. Awesome. Made arroz con pollo y salsa tomatillo then went to bed. Now to French Press all the things.

Twas in a brand new fancy hospital, so at least the check in and whatnot was quick and seamless.
Hopefully that's the last needle in my arm for a while too. And fingers crossed the mri reveals whatever is fucking up my optical nerves, otherwise it'll be lumbar puncture time.

Stuck between my desire to eat a delicious breakfast and my absolute distain for cooking breakfast.
The damn IRS finally processed my 2019 return and apparently there was a typo since they’re saying my kid doesn’t have a valid SSN and they want a bunch of money as a result, so I have to clear that up, yay

Is that a roller-coaster right across the street from the ER? Smart!No free parking

Question: Why do companies make it a complete pain in the ass to apply for a job? If the *Talent Acquisition Specialist* would just read the resume (which is also required) a lot of wasted time would be saved. Added bonus is if their system screws up half way into the process and you get to start over. That's the best.

I want to work (somewhere new). I don't want my time wasted.
I hire lots of people. Nothing more than give me your resume and let me have a look and we'll take it from there. No BS needed.

No one reads the resumes anymore. They are parsed, tokenized, indexed, then sent for processing across the globe, and at the end of the day, the hiring manager calls his buddy without qualification because loyalty trumps competence 11 times out of 10.
real answer: initial application / resume review has been automated / outsourced.
i think it was @SkaredShtles that was saying he saw a job posting looking for 10 years of experience in a coding language that has only existed for 6 years, or something along those lines.
Spicey Thai peanut butter for lunch. Going to have to say, not a fan.
Also still got COVID symptoms and spending most days hoping my heart carries on working correctly - which is great!

Dude, I recently interviewed with 11 people at a company after making it very clear what my travel limitations were. In the end they came back to me saying that I was perfect for the job but wanted someone that would travel more. WTH? Massive waste of time and energy.
Sounds about right. "Recruiters" just look for key words without having any understanding of the position, which is stupid. At least when someone interviews for one of my positions, I'm the guy reading the resume.
yea, so many people looking at resumes (if there's even a person) don't understand the skills they're trying to assess.
