Been good enough with my job search log that I could confirm that yes indeed I just applied for a two-week old listing that matches this exact job title, description, and location I applied for two months ago.

This has no bearing on the org. I know folks do stuff like that. I’m just glad I wasn’t losing my mind. In this aspect.

Ear Nose and Throat doctor says my case is “interesting” so you know I’m in for a good time. CT scan pending.

@onelson the possibilities that involve cancer were deemed less likely, so “interesting” is not the worst case.

@Azvede when the doctor straightened up at their keyboard while jotting down some quick notes and went “could you run that last bit by again?”

(being reluctant about a hearing aid because even though hearing is diminished in that ear, high volume still hurts because I can still feel that a loud sound is happening)

It didn’t change their plans (“let’s scan it and see what else we can find”) but it made them more invested in the outcome.

@yenzie I wanted good news, but if it couldn’t be good I at least wanted interesting news. And really bad is unlikely based on symptoms and rapidity of their appearance.

Watching a video about #C2PA and wondering how long it would take to forge one of these digitally signed tamper-proof images (when the spec is finally completed).

Maybe an hour?
