The strange Maine weather continues. Both dry and humid. Dry in that we have not really had any real rain all summer. Humid in that it is sticky as hell out there. I am running both air conditioners just to control the inside humidity, and it is still 60% inside. In the 90s outside.
I took the Red Rocket to the carwash today. It wasn’t dirty, but I realized it had been April since I had cleaned the undercarriage. People make the mistake of thinking that washing your car is some kind of aesthetic one-upsman-ship. The cars that look the best on the road look that way because the owners tend to keep up with the maintenance. And regularly washing your car is maintenance.
I applied for another job. Again I am overqualified. I shake my head at going from a deputy program manager to an Engineer V to building grills for Lowe’s to being a Senior Project manager to being a student to getting an MBA to applying for Analyst 3 positions and not even getting a callback.
I don’t need money. I want money.
I pulled the Elizabeth Warren today. I changed my ethnicity from “Caucasian” to “Native American.” I figure that if that shrieking shrew can use a claimed 1/64th Cherokee heritage to get into Harvard, I can use my 1/8th to help get a job.
Identity politics is the most ridiculous thing on the planet, everyone trying to position themselves as the biggest “victim.”
I am actually embarrassed. I have earned everything I am. To demean myself by playing the victim insults a critical part of my soul.
I guess I’d rather be in Colorado.
