Job hunting sucks. Got rejected for the one I was posting about after 3 interviews, but I did find a pet care company that needs a project manager. Had a screening call with them yesterday, hope to hear back soon!

Trying not to get too down or worry about things too much.

Whats some cool shit you have going on? Im hanging outside with the pup playing on my Retroid rn

nice to see you keeping your spirits up. job hunting was the most soul draining experience i've ever had. i hope one of these works out for you.

i planted pumpkin, corn, and watermelon seeds last saturday. they've been on a heat pad, under a grow light, and the first sprouts have started popping up as of today. it's pretty exciting. got sunny spots in the yard planned out to plop the biodegradable planter pots into with lots of mulch, earthworm castings, kelp meal, etc ready to feed these beasts.

Hell yeah! I would love to have my own pumpkin patch, that sounds lovely! Keep us posted on how they come along!

And yee much more into the pet care job anyways. It's still "tech" stuff since it's an IT project mgmt job, but like....I dunno if people on hexbear know this, but I like animals. Much more than SAAS systems. Just sucks having to wait more to see if that one pans out. I'm becoming food scarce and behind on bills, so kinda gotta get something going as soon as I can.

Best of luck, doing the same thing rn. Hope you get the call back!

Love that I have my resume posted on indeed, then have to fill it out again on each employer's website, then again in writing before an interview, then go over all the same info verbally for every person at the company one at a time.

Bright side is the public transit in Chicago is so much better than anywhere I've ever lived before, so that's been cool to check out.
