Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪

Anyway, I have a tech interview coming up with them. They're wanting to get an offer out to someone by next week, so I at least won't be in limbo forever.

A lot to consider with this one, but it won't burn me out like my last job did and it feels like a good opportunity. Assuming HR is okay xD

The manager I was supposed to talk to didn't get a link either, so we just wound up having a 45 minute conversation over the phone.

I like the dude who'd be my manager, but I'm still giving HR some big ole side-eye

like this is your whole job, HR lady. if you can't do this right what else are you fucking up over there

at this point I'll still show up if they manage to send me a link but lord am I even less stoked than I already was about the position

So I have an interview due to happen in 15 mins

HR sent me a calendar invite for it last week with the date and the time

No link to the actual meeting

I have emailed asking for the link

I still do not have a link

I am now unsure that I want to work for a place that can't do the minor shit right

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Every lengthy write-up on "lessons learned" after someone lets an AI process delete their database or all their emails reads like this to me

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

ladies and gentlemen, i am so pleased to introduce the next secretary of homeland security

I really wish more job boards had a dark mode

I had a fucking migraine with aura because of it yesterday

today I'm fighting through eye pain because of it because I have to find a motherfucking job sometime this goddamned century

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

A shipment of Chevy Tahoes was delivered to the Whipple building yesterday, which means they will be terrorizing our streets in the next few days. Still waiting on that drawdown...

What’s wrong, Congress? You’ve barely even touched your checks and balances

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

I can feel myself burning out again.

Its not nearly as quickly as it happened a couple years ago, but this is a slow burn. It's almost worse.

we could be so lucky

The page for February 24, 2026 from the excellent page-a-day calendar created by Effin’ Birds (effinbirds.threadless.com). The page features a picture of an annoyed-looking bird with blue and white chest feathers with a little bit of red, black wings, and a black and white head. The caption reads “The time has come for this fuckin’ guy to vamoose”.

Apropos of absolutely nothing at all, here’s today’s page from my excellent @effinbirds.com calendar.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

The world is a dark and dreary place these days, so here’s something to cheer you up: a miniature diorama by Japanese artist, Tanaka Tatsuya.

Shooting my fucking shot with what I think the position SHOULD pay and what I know I'm worth, but also dropping the "open to negotiation for the right fit/equity/benefits/advancement opportunities" bullshit.

even bet they either don't contact me again or lowball me by 30k which no

One of the most infuriating things is a prospective employer emailing "We received your application for [x]. What are your salary expectations?". Cool, you're maybe considering me, but the posting doesn't offer a range for the position and the salary range in general is VAST for this type of role

they need to import this to the Stanley Cup playoffs, watching hockey players be handed stuffed animals while they seethe is the new funniest thing in the world
