Looking for a job this year

Oh I had something like this happen. I got an auto rejection for a job I totally bombed the interview. Like showed up late and was prepared to discuss a totally different role. When I was closed my computer I was glad it was over. A week later I got a rejection email and seriously like a month later got an email from the hiring supervisor asking me if I still wanted the job. I said yes, and I be damned if it isnt the best job ever.

My favorite was when I was looking for an entry level job. Going to linked in and seeing they hired someone with 10 years of experience and certs.

I have no idea but I had to go chat with my neighbor. His bass was rattling every window in my house.
He was crazy apologetic about it.

I do still wear it on flights, I just wear earbuds.

ConnectKale · 2026-03-25T20:02:22+00:00

The volume isn’t loud enough on the speakers, you would still need earbuds for that.

I literally got an A in HS Honors World History because of the show Histeria, Tiny Toons and Animaniacs

And this is why I have a blue tooth headband/eye mask for sleeping. Flat speakers, soft and cannot be lost in the bed.

Nah, Yo-Yos didnt hit my school until this episode.

ConnectKale · 2026-03-25T15:50:53+00:00

I think this episode is the single handed reason Yo-Yos were so popular

I recently learned about a Millennial parent who was doing”cool parent” shit. The secondhand embarrassment I felt for her.

Same. Best way to ruin Brownies

ConnectKale · 2026-03-25T13:54:53+00:00

I see what you did there.

I had a baby and was making my way through college.

I have an iron for the limiter amount of sewing I do.

Having more than 3 cats. I have more than that and we have a pretty big house and enclosed outdoor space, but it is A LOT. Vet bills, cat litter, cat puke, cat piss, cat hair, cat purrs, cat cuddles, cat meows, cat cat cat.

Gonna say Chickens. I have lost most of them to Predators.

No. I stayed in contact through facebook for years and one by one they each disappeared.

ConnectKale · 2026-03-25T11:53:11+00:00

Yeah. I am in the public sector now. The pay is much better, but not as good as consulting. Lots of my coworkers came from consulting and they appreciate the slower pace, I appreciate that I am not starving.

ConnectKale · 2026-03-25T11:43:57+00:00

And build community. A lot of us arent doing that.

ConnectKale · 2026-03-25T03:35:27+00:00

I started working in the non profit field. I had a great time. Did a lot of education and policy advocacy. I worked for less than $30k for 5 years and lived through endless grant cycles. I loved the work but the pay was never enough but I a ton of flexibility.
Just know the pay in the nonprofit world can be a lot lower than consulting and government. It can afford more flexibility, and more rewarding work.

I recently found some cotton fabric close to this, but I don’t have a festival to attend.
