I’d really prefer to not support Meta, and I’m really frustrated by the ‘blue bubble’ I had surrounded myself with on social media.
I’m also trying to become more involved in IRL community building and activism; actually going to things and seeing people.

I’m still finding myself using Threads more, just for the network I had built there, but I really want to give this a chance.

A month later and I’m still using both Bluesky and Threads about the same amount of time, which is a little more reduced because I’m busier during the day.
I think the reason I’m still on Threads is that it integrates better with Insta and FB, where my IRL friends are.
Meta still sucks though.

Still fighting the good fight against interview ghosting.

The combination of work/school/apply for jobs/network for leads/parent/be a functioning human being is getting a bit stressful.
I love UoPeople, but I literally have due dates on Christmas, and I work on Christmas as well.
It’ll be worth it one day. I’ll make Brooklyn proud of me.

Today I got a bunch of reading done, along with a discussion assignment and a practice quiz for one of my courses.

School’s going well this week. Unfortunately, the way that’s working best for me while working is to devote the entire weekend to school, but that’s how it goes, I guess.
Brooklyn is walking around a lot more now. It’s really exciting!

Unfortunately, this behavior is so commonplace in the hospitality industry. I’ve worked with some truly terrible people. I’ve stayed longer than I should have because the employees deserved better.
I was thinking of a hotel GM I had early in my career. He once instructed our entire full-service hotel team to review our own property on Google because technically we are experiencing the hotel as employees.

Oh no, I just realized it was only a 20 day challenge, so that was it! Maybe I’ll keep going, or maybe I’ll switch it up and do 20 days, 20 albums. 🤔

If it’s petty, then I’m petty, but I truly detest this current job climate and think it’s time we all started providing feedback directly to key stakeholders.

I interviewed a few months ago for a Sales role and the GM loved me but the Regional Sales Director never followed up. He just added me on LinkedIn. I sent him this:

Can I also say, I wish it were easier to follow back people in bulk here.

I need to find a way to freelance in my spare time. Reflecting on that time in my life, I really did have fun.
Today is the 14th anniversary of the first time I was ever published as a freelance writer. :)

Work is going well, though I don’t love sales, I’m pretty good at it.
The salary is significantly lower than we can really afford long-term though so the hunt continues.
School is going well. I’m getting used to focusing on it after work, which has been a bit of an adjustment.

I ended up accepting that position. Today was my first day. Cheers to new beginnings.
On a separate note, why do people trauma dump on new hires during their first day? I heard so many wild scary stories today!

I got an offer for a DOS position. I’m not sure if it’s the right fit, but I told the owner I’d take tonight to sleep on it.
I emailed the f&b franchise company I had two interviews with a second time this week to inquire about the status of my application. I guess they’re ghosting me.
