For those of you who don't have LinkedIn anymore, when you're applying for jobs, what do you put in the LinkedIn address field when it's required to have a profile? If I can get work without having to have a LinkedIn anymore, I'd like to do that.

Thought I'd do something completely different this morning. I tried learning to play the hand whistle and ended up sounding like a slobbery Darth Vader.

This is how my Quran teacher marks my mistakes in my recitations.

My small group of friends and family won't use Nostr or Deso or any other decentralized platform because it's too hard to keep it working for them. The user experience is not consistent and they don't want to deal with crypto at all for any reason. Still - Nostr looks like the only viable network right now where free speech can actually remain.

I'm officially ready to start looking for a husband. This is me putting the word out.

It's not that I couldn't do it, but I shouldn't be doing it, right? And to top it off, there were several older people who applied and who were "hired." They were old enough to be seniors. The only reason they're looking for work is because they can't afford anything right now. Had they known this was part of the job requirements or even as part of the physical they had to take, many of them would not have spent money they don't have to have gone to this location for a job to begin with, you know? It's done those folks a real disservice. I'm still nursing this shoulder. There's chores to do today, and I'd rather type all day then do the chores. :)

There's a muscle near your shoulder blade that activates when you click the mouse with your fingers or type. I pulled that muscle. 🥸 The DOT physical had us push and pull 100lbs. There was no mention of this requirement in the job posting, during the interview stage, or the scheduling of orientation. I'm waiting for the Advil to kick in.

I miss my grandmothers. I miss my grandkids.

Social Media is full of unhinged individuals. Landlines and physical newspapers are sounding better and better all the time.

I've been home a couple of days and feeling like myself again. It felt good to be back at the laptop and sorting all my affairs. Laundry today. Pay bills tomorrow. Not sure what the rest of the day has in store.
