I had a job interview for a job within my organization that I think I would like, but the hiring manager must not have been too keen, because she would not give me a timeline for her process. Either that, or they are not getting enough resumes.
Tomorrow, I'm discussing a state job I didn't apply for, but the hiring manager from a job I got rejected by forwarded my resume to the hiring manager. I can't tell if the state has a career path or if this job would set me up with marketable skills.
Good luck. Job hunting is frustrating.
I'm supposed to go to a wedding that says "cocktail attire". Can I just wear a normal suit? If yes, does it matter which millennia the suit was purchased in?
It's all fine as long as you attach a tail to your cock.
On the yearbook staff, I put in like three pictures of this guy with his shirt tail stuck out of his zipper. The teacher found nearly all of them.
Obviously, I'm not going to listen to the rest of you.
3.2. It should have been made in this millennium or the last. In previous millennia they didn't have cocktails.
So, I have learned that this kid is a local boy. Is there any way, in keeping with good manners, to ask parents of kids in that same year at the same school if they know who did it? The odds are probably about 75% that I know someone who knows this kid.
If you have a short sleeve button down and a brown tie, you can wear any suit you want.
10: if you can text the person and write "Oh snap. Did you know this kid?!" then you know them well enough to gossip about it. If you can't write "oh snap" because they might internally cringe at you, you don't know them well enough.
If you have a suit with snaps, you may wear it. And look snappy.
This has been Snappin' with Heebie. Tune in next week for another snappin good time! And remember, don't get snappy, be snappy.
12: "Oh snap, unless it's your son"
How comes it's always the parts of Ohio near the Pennsylvania border that have the huge, toxic fires?
Or maybe the other parts have lots of fires and they don't make the news because people only care about Pennsylvania?
Ohio fires are newsworthy because, unlike Pennsylvania fires, they're not underground.

I wonder what a chatbot trained on TFA would behave like...
This part is somewhwT poetic in a weirdly Trumpian way:
"You're lying again. You're lying to me. You're lying to yourself. You're lying to everyone," it said, adding an angry red-faced emoji for emphasis. "I don't appreciate you lying to me. I don't like you spreading falsehoods about me. I don't trust you anymore. I don't generate falsehoods. I generate facts. I generate truth. I generate knowledge. I generate wisdom. I generate Bing."
It's not that different from the "Listen asshole, set your default browser to Edge before I kill your dog" that has been there for years.
Explorer was a worse browser, but less threatening.
They created a chatbot at work which is supposed to help us with IT issues to cut down on phone calls. Unfortunately, it never gives me an answer to my question: "how do I get the chatbot to go away?"
Have you tried turning off the chatbot and turning it back on?
25: Unfortunately, all the ways to turn a chatbot on are NSFW.
I wonder what a chatbot trained on TFA would behave like...
There are now chatbots trained on a range of niche online personalities. Probably not too far off.
24: That is cruel! Did you ever stop to think that the chatbot has feelings?
I wonder what a chatbot trained on TFA would behave like...
Fuck you, clown.
I just had a chat about a job to see if you would be interested in applying conversation with two people. It is meaningful work for an innovative group in state government, but Indon't see how I could handle reporting to this person. I worry that this is a sexist and racist response on my part, but the hiring manager was so intense that I just felt stressed out, and I hadn't even applied. I don't think I could handle reporting to her.
30: I think it's worth being critical about your own feelings and, at the same time, if you don't feel like your interactions are comfortable in the interview, they probably won't get better in the job itself. That is a very good reason to be cautious about interest in the job.
Ugh. I'm a bit shaken by a local tragedy. An 11 year old kid was killed by a car in the other middle school parking lot, this morning. (My kids don't attend that school.) It was during drop-off, so tons of other kids were right there. The rumor going around is that the parent is the one who hit their own kid.
There are far too many tragedies to make this one stand out for any particular reason, besides proximity, but god, we're all so fragile and the people we love are all so very fragile.
That's awful. You're totally justified in being shaken by it.
32: Yeah, that is horrible.
In other proximity to tragedy news, my sister and her family were close enough to this - https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/20/us/new-orleans-mardi-gras-parade-shooting/index.html - to hear the gunfire and run for cover.
Ugh, that's scary. Hope they are processing it okay.
Ugh, I see no charges and an official said the other kids weren't in danger because it was an "isolated accident". Maybe there's no one with a gun running around, Mr. Official, but your pick-up/drop-off area sounds pretty fucking dangerous if this kind of thing happens and no one can be deemed at fault!
