This resume format is used for US federal jobs; it's not the format I'd use for a private-sector role. However, it *is* highly detailed (understatement), so it's at least a good overview of all my relevant skills and experience.

So, uh, I am now going to stop applying to fed jobs - but might as well reshare this anyway. Open to any leads on work! VERY HAPPY to relocate! Won't use this resume format, obviously.
Will drop donation links below too, because after 5+ I know nobody has work for me - but I do still need to eat.

Yeah, as per my last post, I've decided to say goodbye to BlueSky. Mistakes happen, and having been a mod in the past I'm more forgiving than most of them - but the fact they told me to contact an email address that does not exist, and then refused to acknowledge it when I repeatedly asked about it…

So, guess who's been fighting with BlueSky all morning after they wrongfully suspended me for three days, instructed me to contact an email address that does not exist, and then reinstated me without bothering to answer many of my questions about the process?

What the hell.
I posted on my main about being suicidal like two weeks ago. (It was true then, though it was situational not clinical.) I haven’t posted much of anything in the last couple weeks at all. I’ve just been reposting, mostly. And they don’t say which post I made was responsible.

It’s not insane; it’s smart and evil. The 2008 villains came out rich by arranging to have taxpayers and small investors cover their losses. This is that.
This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers

"Wow, depression gets so bad people stop bathing??"
Depression can get so bad, people kill themselves.
Depression isn't just "oh I'm sad." It's a genuine sickness where you feel tired, low-energy, and like you can't enjoy anything and should give up on everything. Including, at times, life.

![Part of a conversation on Discord between a friend and me.
Them: There are no DDoS attacks
It's NTT
Me: Because it's not at all unreasonable to speculate that if hardcore players are going to Materia on account of this, many more casual players have probably stopped altogether
Them: [attaches an image evidencing their claim that the server connectivity issues in the game are caused by a certain backbone ISP node near the physical datacenter]
Me, responding to their first messages: From what I've seen, it's both. The outages aren't temporally random. They coincide with Live Letters.
NTT is a problem, but it seems like every time there's a Live Letter the problems uptick (Notably, the uptick starts after the live letter, not after the new patch is implemented.) That suggests agency on the part of a human actor.
Me, in reduced-impact font: Seriously, someone pay me to do this shit. I'm literally begging.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cugnuwafnp364mnpnpiddohc/bafkreihsh7c34tdtc5m6sgctdvt4k4gsy4mnf6czjilv6rzz7qocyrgih4@jpeg)

Looool, just saw someone on Discord post a recruitment for a Eureka Orthos run, with the note “On Materia (to avoid DDOS).”
Constant high latency is now considered a lower risk to a DD run than the multiple-times-a-day server kicks.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.

One advantage of having a roof over my head for the foreseeable future is that I can finally do this.
Gods help me I'm doing this.

![[LFG] [UWU] [UCoB] [SCH] [NA DC Travel] [Casual] [Midcore] [Semi-Hardcore]
SCH player looking for a static for UWU or UCoB!
Very little previous ultimate experience, but some other maybe-transferrable experience:
All ARR extremes except Ramuh and Shiva cleared MINE.
T9 cleared in an undergeared unsync trio that required learning and doing all the mechanics.
I have since taught T9 in NN.
Seiryu unreal cleared.
Baldesion Arsenal cleared.
30-ish minutes of prog on UWU, got through feathers, got Garuda to ~50%.
This was long enough ago that I would probably have to start fresh, however.
I'm not claiming to be the best SCH player in the world, but I'm looking to push myself and to improve my skills. I'm good at taking criticism because I genuinely want to improve!
I can also flex Tank (particularly GNB, so OT) if need be, but would prefer to play SCH.
Current Availability: Reasonably open. Many Wednesdays and some Saturdays would probably not work great for me at the moment (and when - if - I ever find work my schedule is liable to change). I'm mostly free any time between 1:00 PM and 1:00 AM other days!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jmhsvklchvqidykq7awluqmf/bafkreifhyviubsyknlvwqjxxp6hpgpjut557yfwlyrodi7dgxodgvko5ze@jpeg)

Overall today has been a good day. This, quoted (which, iykyk) is only the second-best thing to happen today. I've also learned I have housing for the foreseeable future.
Still need work, but it's a start.

I am once again asking for any leads on work and housing! I have exactly one month from today before I'm on the streets, and I simply don't have the willpower to do that. Especially in winter.
