They are releasing applications for some of the Committees with the city and Im def applying for these.
The City of MLT is going to regret that I live so close and turns out...I miss being involved in local govt.
I might need to in order to ease the transition.
Although this office also is near the waterfront so I can always try substituting fresh salty air.
And on my last day of freedom, I took an early edible.
AMA
Imagine advising clients on what they now call “go to market strategy” right out of school with ZERO other humans in your department.
FOR STARTUPS.
I wasn’t even allowed on slack bc that was for engineers.
Gee, I wonder why I’m burnt out.
It was bad for my career and development and I knew that.
But I also was still having massive panic attacks and struggled to work long hours w/o episodes so I worked for 13$ an hour and cobbled together enough flexibility and clients to pay my bills.
I literally started my career as a contractor for startups. The office I worked out of was my main client, but I negotiated that I could work there full time despite not being full time.
I could literally not show up and no one cared.
Not beating the geriatric millennial allegations here, but if you want to feel totally fine for 22 minutes, the new Scrubs shockingly accomplishes that. Feels like reading a well written email from an old friend who hasn't changed a bit.
move slow and repair things
Today is my last weekday before working IRL full time which I’ve LITERALLY NEVER DONE.
Please send thoughts and prayers.
I am SO not prepared for this.
Went to a talk on psychedelics and therapy last night and the doctor was like:
“Yeah mdma helps bc people w PTSD often stop feeling happiness.”
And I gotta say being called out that hard while sitting next to your dad is soooo awkward.
What a great time to start commuting by car 5 days a week instead of taking the train lol
True true. The CDA office was closed last time I drove thru so might need to make time.
They said there was a Seattle office so I’ve been banking on that. Kinda odd that there isn’t.
It’s ID BLM land, but need to ask some questions. The Valley might be my option
In the least creepy of ways... if you DM me your address Ill absolutely send you a letter.
I cannot promise expediency, but I WILL send it.
BLM does not have a Seattle office and that hinders my plans greatly.
Might try chaining the internet to a desk again.
Call me on my land line.
Send me a postcard.
But I no longer wish to be always online from a device in my pocket.
I took a huge pay cut to go run campaigns for a more stable industry.
I think I’m going to love it.
If you ever wanna chat about your thoughts on other options, I’m here. I know our work overlaps a tidge.
As someone who has an undergrad degree in Entrepreneurship and have been in startups for 15 years….
Watching someone ask “how do I create a budget” on a y combinator forum is my indicator to leave the industry.
If the US is going to continue down this route I encourage my fellow millennials to embrace being absolute MENACES.
Maybe we were actually built for this and should rise to the occasion. We are the adults in the room, let’s start acting like it.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
THIS IS MY BINDER
Went to my city’s first class of a 6 week civic academy and ITS SO COOL IM SO EXCITED
Had to give up these boots bc my knee sucks so much
And now I’m off to find something like it that might replace them but nice like Valentino
OMG ill have health insurance I can get a second opinion on my knee.
NGL I will be seeking out a woman this time.
I tried regularly priced lotion in an attempt to not be such an expensive skincare lady.
My eyes were swollen shut for two days aaannnnd I will be returning to spending 70$ on lotion.
I like to see, so sue me.
Im so excited for a routine again.
It’s what’s best for me and the first two weeks are usually brutal but im ready and it will be worth it.
You have to wear socks of some kind. I haaattere socks so I went knee socks and it was fine.
Kirkland vanilla ice cream next to a Creami container filled with vanilla ice cream.
New cheat code
There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana
(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)
I spend the rest of the dream ROASTING this guy for being financially moronic.
And telling the girl I respect her hustle but I’m going to have to stop her from doing this to my friend.
Excellent dream. 10/10
