I should leave it alone, but you’re not right
ok to close the loop I got my rejection today. very bummed but what are you gonna do. I probably need to start looking at remote jobs which isn’t really what I want but I also don’t want to move. another option is to start looking outside nonprofit

WELP my informed delivery shows a letter from the job people so I guess they do written rejections which does feel fairly on-brand

there’s a job up that’s a step down in title but overlaps about 80% with what I do now. it’s not the higher salary I was looking for (only $5k more) but it would be at a much less stressful org. trying to decide if I’m aiming too high in my job search at the moment and should go for this
November 18, 2025 at 4:16 PM
no word on the job and we’re going long enough now that I suspect they’ve made an offer to their top candidate and are waiting to see if that pans out. but we’ll see!

guess I get to stew about this job over the weekend. yay.
November 7, 2025 at 9:05 PM
dropped out of consideration for one of the jobs I’m up for. it was federally funded and too specialized for my desired career path. hopefully I won’t regret it

think I may have crushed a phone screen. At one point when he asked me my vision for the city he said “I think you’ve been listening to my phone calls” and at the end he said he had thoroughly enjoyed talking to me

I’ve applied for two jobs in the past month. one I thought I was extremely qualified for and one I applied to with the mantra I’m trying to hold “would a man with my resume apply for this job” and guess which one I just passed an HR screen for

welp I didn’t get the job I was going for so I’ll probably switch my sobriety oversharing to main. you know what would help with this feeling? A DRINK 😂

ok well I’m sitting at the bar at BW3 and I was afraid it was going to be like wildly triggering but it’s fine. it’s more challenging to be home alone after a tough week at work than sitting here watching football

starting my second alcohol free (I’m not sure if I’m supposed to say sober because I still weed on occasion) weekend which is more challenging than weekdays for some reason even though I used to drink on those too. I’m out of town tomorrow and debating going to a bar to watch a game. maybe too soon

I didn’t buy a baby shower gift for the woman at work who voted for Trump and I’m trying to decide if that was principled or just petty
September 11, 2025 at 2:00 AM
man ALL I want to do is drink and doom scroll
September 10, 2025 at 8:42 PM
first time for this in over a decade. I haven’t really had any major challenges yet but I’m starting to feel confident that this is going to happen

I’ve done two meetings with the program I’m in and the second was a women’s only meeting and 2/3 of the people who shared were venting about their husbands which I found very interesting. sobriety opens a lot of eyes it seems like

I gotta say the Zepbound is doing its JOB because I had a tough emotional day today and I’m not stuffing my face in the absence of booze
September 8, 2025 at 12:19 AM
I love the countdown (count up?) apps for tracking sobriety because what do you mean I’ve been alcohol free for 400,000 seconds
September 7, 2025 at 6:58 PM
drain poured ally booze today. the mostly full 1.75 of fireball hurt the most 😂

also giving away my booze decor on the local buy nothing group. Joe got me that stuff so it’s a little hard to do but this stuff killing him is why I’m doing all of this so I think he’d be ok with it
September 6, 2025 at 6:52 PM
spent yesterday sick after my Zepbound injection Thursday night - my first time having side effects which seems like more than a coincidence. if alcohol is what was keeping me side effect free all this time I’m going to be very sad

I’m applying for a job where I won’t be allowed to talk politics online and that itself should tell you how much I want the job

well this vacation was supposed to help with burnout and get me back and raring to go with my job but it absolutely has not. I think it’s time to start looking

I went to an incredibly depressing meeting with staffers from both my (R) senators discussing what would happen to homelessness if this budget gets through. they don’t give a shit. my (D)?representative’s staffer was there and was an absolute shining light though.

not somebody at a foundation telling my boss they haven’t given us our grant money yet because I didn’t get them some paperwork

Not many of you follow this account and know who this is, but if I can tell you that after I quit my Corporate America life, my first role was helping run a congressional campaign

I followed too many back when we were all desperate for something on our timelines and so now I am slowly unfollowing people which feels rude but
