Highlights for the week
The Good! Applied to a job via referal from slack - fingers crossed. Signed up to bug bounties and hoping to get started with that.
The Bad! Former president nearly got shot, current president is sick with COVID, and on Friday a near-global outage occurred caused by a cybersecurity EDR impacting Microsoft Windows users. Personally speaking: below $200 from being broke, zero job response, needing to borrow from son for some bills; rent will be late.
The Ugly! Spouse remains extremely pissed; thinking this time we're done done. Had to chase after a restaurant job I'm not too proud to take (no word).
Had a moment where I broke down and cried; it's bad, losing the job and partner.
What We’re Grateful For
- Still kickin' it
- Still have food in the fridge

What We Loved
- The kindness of strangers sending me a referral to a great job

What We Longed For
- A good job; good pay/benefits; good people

- Getting rejected for having insufficient experience; yet no opportunities abound to acquire said experience
- The entire job market
