If you have any leads or connections 👉 that would be much appreciated.

It's surprisingly not raining today, so I took a nice walk to a coffee shop about a mile away from my house. ☕
Looking forward to the summer and seeing the sun again soon. 🌞
Until then I'll be here with my SAD lamp and vitamin D pills. 😀

Job hunting in 2025: I'm joining a video call recruiter screen that 50/50 I thought might be a scam.
Their camera is off, so I kept mine off.
They ask me to turn on my camera and don't turn on theirs.
Weird. 🙃
