Ooooo

Even the swamps are woke.. GEEZ 😉

Looks beautiful

Welp. On the bright side, I don't have to work at the place I didn't like working at.....

Uh oh, did they start laying people off?

Nope. Just me.

Shit. I'm sorry HUGS

Good news is you are the master of whipping up a good resume

I sure as hell hope so.

AFK a bit

Sorry again Shady.

@shadylady My friend works for US Foods who says there might be a job at a Stock yard in Orlando ,and Distribution Center at Ft. Orange... there maybe some technical remote jobs IT Positions as well. She doesn't know all the positions but the company is hiring not far from you. Possibly worth looking into!

I absolutely will!

It's good to know folks who know of things 🙂 So I'm grateful she's a housemate

Off to pick up a friend. Hope to be back by 8 PM

maybe earlier but I don't wanna lie to no one.

Heya! waves Gonna be hanging out here for a bit, though I know some folks aren't planning to be on.

Hey, you! How goes?

Got fired. You?

Today??

Yep.

Oh, shit. Hon, I'm so sorry. What happened?

Apparently my skill set isn't a good match for the needs of the role.

And, TBH, I was already looking (as I have mentioned).

Ugh. So it wasn't like a mass layoff. That sucks.

I know you were looking already. Any nibbles?

I had one interview that I think was pro forma b/c I'm a vet. And after they were 30 minutes late starting the in-person interview.... yeah, didn't have a warm fuzzy and they did decide to go with another candidate so....

However, tomorrow I have lined up some learning and training for myself and have a goal of 2 applications/day going forward.

Okay. You've got some sort of professional help in locating potential employers?

Eh. Yes. In a not-impressive way.

But I will be looking for more.

Hmph. I want the best people in your corner. Where the heck are they hiding?

I understand there's a market to work with former federal employees.....

I swear, I read former as "farm" for a moment there. I don't think you're quite that desperate yet.

My urge is to make suggestions in an effort to "fix" things, but I don't suspect that's particularly helpful.

Understandable though!

You were there long enough to get unemployment, I hope?

I think so? 3 months shy of a year, I think. I'll be applying for it tomorrow, I guess we'll find out then.

Yeah, that sounds like enough to me.

Fuck. Sorry folks. We are ten minutes in the trip and get a "oo, it's going to be 30 minutes longer"

That sounds like a familiar refrain, Mr. D.

I have two MeetUp online networking events for tomorrow and two library classes that are related to job searches and/or tech skills. Ditto Wednesday (2) and Thursday (2).

They had been gotten better about it to be fair. But yeah this is a backslide

Shady, you're nothing if not driven. 🙂

That IS frustrating, D.
