Perhaps the reason I can't get a job at the moment isn't justbdie to the holiday season;
It seems I'm truly on standby. My husband's grandma just got moved to the ICU. I think he said her blood pressure dropped. We don't know the full details, but if she's in ICU, I'm so worried.

It's truly like I was given another chance so it's nice to know I don't bring death and destruction after all.
Beyond grateful.

Honestly, it makes me so emotional to think about cuz the neonate I found ~3 yrs ago only survived maybe a day and a half, despite our best efforts at that time. We were so grief stricken and got Cthulhu shortly after. It's still our inside joke that we got him out of grief, but it's true and we

well have been born around Halloween, so he's now our Halloween baby.
His 1 eye being open when we found him? Kittens can *begin* opening their eyes as early as 2 days! It's very likely the universe had the cat distribution system send this neonate my way around a week old, maybe barely that.

My mind is still blown - went to the vet thinking this kitten was 6 weeks old and ready for his forst shot, but he only weighs a bit over 1 pound.
The vet explained cats gain about a pound per month of life, so he's maybe only a whole month old, so younger than we initially thought. He could've

I know with those weird assessment quizzes for job applications you're "supposed to" strongly agree/disagree because that's "what employers want" and "are looking for," but the right employer (to me) will know and understand that things just aren't that black and white.

I can't understand how companies put up job postings just for you to follow up and then tell you that they either have a full staff, or you'd just hear back if they're interested. Like...

Well, my baby girl is sick with a flu, and my husband's grandma is in the hospital.
As far as grandma goes, no one can convince me she's not dying. Especially after what I've learned the past few days.
So Thanksgiving is us 3 adults (me, hubby, and MIL) and a sick toddler.

I loved this job, the work, some of my coworkers, how a lot of how things operated reminded me of how I once belonged in the Navy even if I barely knew myself as I am today.

Call me crazy, but the music I'd play on repeat on my 3 CD turntable growing up I knew were human. We didn't have AI like today. If we knew what to look for, we could decide if we wanted the music or not. Almost as if making an informed decision.

I was devastated to learn a lot of the new artists I thought I found were either a hybrid of human and AI or mostly AI generated, especially the latter.
Nothing personally against AI until no one realizes that they didn't know so we all end up feeling duped. I personally like to support humans.
