| I've never had competing offers. It was my perception that some folks in or adjacent to law enforcement repeatedly abused their access to try to nudge me into some kind of "public service". I've considered emigration, but every time I look into it, the rash of illegal behavior that follows usually takes six months to two years to recover from. In fact, I'm putting off looking into getting into one email account at least another day because someone annoyed me so badly -- they keep making a show of setting me up with these "job interviews" that are basically free consulting sessions. Now to be fair, I used to be kind of a narcicist, but I've learned to code, learned to hack, and gotten my health issues under control -- I lost about sixty pounds, but I keep having a string of folks either treat job interviews as free consulting sessions, or dates as chances to fish for information for... journalism or whatever? It's a weird and frustrating pattern, so I sold some stock out of my IRA and am gonna just wander around in one of my favorite tshirts trying to brainstorm some way I could get a job. (But until Halloween I guess I'll be... on vacation? I sometimes can't tell if people are being serious on this website, I'm having a surreal day.) |
