I’m “in between opportunities”.

Kind of like Van Damme’s in between these trucks except they’re pulling away and sure funds are flexible but at some point I’ll need more.

Until the barter system goes into full effect.

Or I suck it up and post feet pics.

Not mine, though.

Just random pics generated by AI.

I’m sure there’s a bot for that.

Applied for a job with a previous employer.

Did not pan out.

Literally the same thing I did for them before.

Beginning to think it’s me.

The problem with looking for work, is that all your employed friends/acquaintances/thought leaders on LinkedIn are full of helpful advice.

Even though they don’t work in the same field.

Have the same career path.

Know nothing about you.

But.

Rest assured, if you just give them $399, they’ll absolutely guarantee that you’ll be out nearly 400 dollars.

And it’s one thing when it’s month three and you’ve applied to less than <100 jobs.

When it’s into year 3 and Indeed is just shrugging its shoulders, it’s a bit…much.

Have a couple of “prospects” that will likely keep me out of a cardboard condo, but barely.

I’ve been told the role is “humbling”.

Not sure what hubris I needed punched out of me.

I do know this: I’m never, ever giving anyone hiring advice again. And there’s value in that. In that kind of growth.

BRB, shaving some toes.
