@dashdsrdash Eventually.

Biggest “but Web, I am Pagliacci” moment I’ve had to date.

Filling out an online form duplicating my job history information from the resume i uploaded and the conversation I just had with the recruiter, grumbling about how I’m just going over the same thing over and over, wishing I could get back to the fourth revision of a blog post that I’m pretty sure has only been read by me in the last 10 years.
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 17:32
I’m kidding of course. I haven’t revised a decade-plus old blog post four times.
Ridiculous.
Forty, maybe.

“summarize your background” and I want to start describing the living room behind me.
“Well there’s a big couch and right now one of the dogs is sleeping on it in a nice cozy sun puddle. A little closer and you can see the two cats also napping. There’s another dog but he’s off camera down by my feet”

The brain is not cooperating is all I’m saying. Not that the request is unreasonable. I am. At the moment, anyways.

“…developing against AWS features…”
i made a typo or slip with “against” but is it wrong
maybe “developing and deploying cloud applications despite AWS features”

I want to mention $LANGUAGE_OR_TOOL but do I have recent production experience with it? Well I haven’t used it to unnecessarily surveil people, coerce money from them, or twist them against their family or their own self-interests, so I guess not.

Most of our jokes about statistical errors actually just statistical error.
Outlier Pat, who lives in an interdimensional vortex and embodies over 11,000 statistical errors, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Can I embed a screenshot of a tweet in the “summary of background” because I only have one sentence left and it’s all I can think of.

Four sentences done. Only took me three hours.
The contrast with my casually vomiting 2,000 words in a hyperfocus-driven afternoon is Iron Man. I mean it’s stark.

@minego Honestly if you did have really good advice, would I remember it when it mattered? Probably not.
I appreciate the empathies more.
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 19:24
@minego Yep. I knew my brain lock from way before I knew anything about ADHD or neurodivergence.
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 19:27
@minego yep yep. I’ve encountered so many with overlapping classical autistic and ADHD traits that I came to the conclusion your diagnosis is how you annoyed neurotypicals that particular day, rather than a specifically helpful piece of information.
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 19:31
@minego True. I was being unfair. A diagnosis isn’t everything but it’s way better than the litany of disappointment from school report cards.

Thank you for joining me in tonight’s episode of “job search communications while in heavy inattentive ADHD mode”
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 19:42
@blogdiva yep that looks about right. Also reminds me of my drawing sessions.
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 19:49
@blogdiva That’s the real reason I’ve been off ADHD meds the last year. Cannot bear the thought of finding, talking to, re-explaining everything, then doing it again in a session, so I can get a scrip to maybe get a little more work done.
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 19:54
@VE2UWY yeah that’s the one!
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 20:00
ok now a little minecraft as a treat
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 20:03
@tk a little bit of both, but first I just remembered there’s some pillagers at my door I am woefully ill-prepared for.
hackers.town: 2024-04-01 Mon 20:13
@blogdiva oh lord all this exactly. And good luck!
