• Be me.
• Apply for job listing that requires Python experience.
• /home/tootsweet/python_projects/python_genius.py
• Called and invited to team interview.
• Arrive dressed like perfect corporate cog, leather binder in hand.
• “Do you know C#?”
• Listing never mentioned C#.
• Me: “No.”
• “We’re switching from Python to C#.”
• Didn’t get the job.

Later worked with former employees of $aforementioned_employer. They have a terrible habit of hiring in droves, only to lay off half their workforce every few years.

“TNPD” doesn’t roll off the tongue as well as “TACO”, but I’ll take it.

And eating them in bed after sex.

Not sure I see the point of impeaching Noem when Trump is right there.

Wait, where’s Gentoo?

The mind of man is holy.

Oh, I didn’t say I knew how to make that happen.

Democrats when they’re in power promoting places like Puerto Rico and DC into states definitely wouldn’t hurt, though.

Also, theoretically Trump getting less and less popular is probably helping its chances.

And more awareness of the existence of the pact is definitely beneficial.

Whether it’s likely to happen even if the above all happens, who knows.

I vibe code Brainfuck using Eliza.

It’s way past time to get the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to 270.

Nobody’s said “this is going to be my year” in many many years.

If your elephant needs pain relief, make sure to administer Tylenol orally.

Sulfer should be labeled “hell”.

The famous violinist. Yes.

Honestly, still better than working sick with an office full of coworkers.

A song for you.

Paid for by Nvidia.
