Okay, okay. I’ve almost completely let that interview go. It’s out in the universe and there’s nothing I can do now. But one last thing I want to mention that I was kind of scared to mention bef...


(note: see previous entry for context below) I was so mortified about how that Teams interview ended. I’ve just been pacing around the apartment wondering what to do, so I plugged in my last pa...


Morning! I have 5 minutes to write, and then I gotta get my workout in. Today I’m on a little bit of a time crunch. Big interview at 9:30 - video interview with the hiring manager. This will be ...


It’s the last day of November. Officially another NoJoMo in the books. I always love the discipline that doing an entry a day gives me. And I always seem to keep the mojo (pun intended) going at...


Almost noon. Have not accomplished anything today. Yet. I am home from Thanksgiving with the fam. Thank you for all of your notes and suggestions on my last entry. I have decided to go back t...

Day 332 - Aftermath

Morning. I am headed out this morning to the big flea market to see if I can find any treasures. It’s Black Friday. I don’t know if there are big deals at the big flea, but I guess I’ll find out...


Good morning. It’s Thanksgiving and I’m sitting in my kitchen at my little desk getting ready to chug through the morning. I’ll write this entry and then do a longer workout (kinda skipped yeste...


Yesterday, my horoscope said that I would be in a good place to take care of financial matters. Here’s what I did: I got signed up for marketplace insurance through December. I’m not excite...


Had a super long talk on the phone with Kitty Cat yesterday. She’s been busy being a caretaker, so not much time to worry about the legal side of things regarding The Cool Cat Company. Said she...

Day 328 - On Predators

Thanks for everyone’s notes on yesterday’s entry. Yes! I guess LinkedIn takes similar safety measures as most other social media platforms, and that’s a good thing. But it got me thinking abou...


Is this a thing? Does LinkedIn actually read your private DMs?? Last night, I was clicking around LinkedIn. Ever since starting to go hot and heavy with my job search, LinkedIn has been my soci...


Yesterday was such a strange day. It somehow just got away from me and disappeared. I did get up and took Martini to daycare, which meant I had the rest of the day to do what I wanted - I coul...


Talked with my two cousins last night after they talked to my dad. They were together and calling people who need to know. My uncle’s cancers have spread. Yes, multiple cancers. He’s now in hosp...

Day 323 - Waiting...

The year is really flying now. Next week is THANKSGIVING?! What the what?? Today was busy - full of meetings starting at 8:30 this morning, and ending…well, I am going to bed soon. The good n...

Day 322 - Becoming Findable

Oof. Sitting here for quite some time (I started this entry this morning, and it’s already the end of the day), trying to work on my next moves. I got this really great email this morning from...

Day 321- IN My Nerves

Monday again. Here we go, new week. I’m working it this week. Already starting out strong by sending an assertive email directly to a senior HR manager at a large corporation for a job I saw onl...

Day 320 - Rando Sundo *UPDATE*

I’ve been up for a while. Made my coffee. Took the dog out to poop. Clicked around online. Played around with AI, trying to find a program that will make videos for free. Clicked around Prosebox...


It’s Saturday. I slept in a little because I had the craziest nightmare last night that kept me up for a good long while in the middle of the night. The dream ended in a car crash (into a truck)...


Friday morning. Today will mark two full weeks of unemployment. Meh. Boring job stuff ahead… Talks are quickly progressing on the job contract front (from my last couple of entries). Apparentl...

Day 317 - Some Things...

…rattling around in my brain: Meeting yesterday went well. It ended up being an hour, and we even ran over a little bit, so that was a good thing. I essentially went over TLIC with the two ...

Day 316 - A Pre-Proposal

Good morning. Thank you for all of the kind words on my vulnerable-ish post yesterday. I feel better today. I even feel more momentum! This morning, I’m all about business. I have requested a...

Day 315 - 11/11

The 1111 portal. An auspicious day. I’ve clicked around ye olde internet to see what you’re supposed to do on this day to manifest, and there are many, many rituals that I’ve found can be perfor...


Well, it’s here. Mercury is truly in retrograde. Yesterday’s volunteer event was a bust. Unbeknowst to me, until I got close, there was a big running race downtown. That means that roads were ...

Day 313 - Events!

Headed out in a bit to do my volunteer work this morning. I wasn’t great with my closet clean-out because I didn’t get super aggressive, but I do have a few things to donate during the thrift po...


Another Saturday. I want to get this entry in and use this spectacularly beautiful day to get out and walk the city trail with Martini. I think I’m going to do my “usual” walk with her - the one...
