#looking government jobs
Text
i need the employed people to understand the job market is not like it was when they were unemployed.
#I'm glad my parents are experiencing it for themselves but I hate that they are experiencing it for themselves y'know#my dad is so discouraged#he has good connections and he has qualifications that only one other guy in the whole country has#and yet the jobs looking for those qualifications won't hire him#likely because they already had a guy picked and the job posting was fake in the first place#because the government requires them to make the posting as an 'equal opportunity employer'#x#so when people say 'get a better degree' 'apply online/apply in person' 'start at the bottom' I say 'kindly shut your mouth'

This month into next month is going to be busy for me at work. The main executive at the state office has been sending me some urgent report requests which I've been handling.
She sent one at 4:40 ish EDT yesterday. When I went to check to see if she was still online, I saw that she wasn't. I was working on something else for her so I figured I'd just reply in the morning that I got it and would work on it next.
My boss sent me a Teams message seeing if I could take a call (I love that, btw. I hate random Teams calls with no warnings). Seems that the exec texted her asking if I had gotten her urgent email and wanted my phone number.
I am SO HAPPY my boss didn't just give her my cell. The only number on my signature is my Teams phone, which would've been fine. I let my boss know that the exec didn't mark it as urgent, so I had no idea it was another urgent one. I let my boss know what I mentioned above and she understood. My boss said she'd reply to her text letting her know I was aware and would reply to the email, which i did.
My boss was exasperated. "Boy, I tell ya, she is all over the place today!" but she stopped herself. It was enough venting to let me know she wasn't happy about the situation but she remained professional.
This is a way different experience than when the head of one department just gave my cell number to a vendor who tried to get me to join a meeting after I logged off for work. That story is here (x) and happened during my two weeks for leaving the hell TX job.
The gist of the video is that the department head wanted manual corrections to things that should not have been manually corrected and was not part of my job. My boss at the time tried to back me up and the department head/ director looped in the CEO, CFO and some other c suite person. So glad I'm not there anymore
#All of my co-workers are pharmacists who don't do retail work#my co workers provide authorizations for drugs for specific government insured folks#this exec is a head related to the government insurance and is also a pharmacist#I look so freaking worn out in that video. That job was awful after they acquired another health plan and then sold most of the IT staff

#im at such a weird point in my life. trying to choose between a phd and a doomed life as an academic and like just not doing that.#its crazy how not terrible i feel when im not in school. just give me tasks to do and i will do them. dont let me think.#but then im just avoiding my responsibilities. i dunno. i just feel like i would be happier with a structured job that ends when the day#is over. which is y my dad thinks i should get a government job. one of my former lab mates got a government job and he's settling into#spending the rest of his life out in Colorado. which is so weird. i dont kno how long ill be in the place im in now. will it b 4 more years?#or will it be only a few months? will i go back to school in the fall? its looking like yes bc i dont have a job lined up. but maybe ill#keep applying and dip out. let my dreams die in favor of balance and sanity. maybe some things arent meant to be.#its just so gutting. i was talking to my coworker this week. saying that im interested in so many things. i could have studied anything else#and traveled a completely different path. and a guy across the room was like: its never too late. but it feels like its too late. too late#to spend another impossible amount of money on getting a different degree. restarting on a second masters project. im almost 30.#im supposed to b saving money so that i can not work forever. but i cant do that if im just a student forever. so maybe i should just get a#job. god. but theres so much i still want to learn. and im in the perfect program for everything i thought i wanted. im in the perfect place#but everything's falling to pieces. whatever. i. just tired bc im on day 5 of work and have to go in for a day 6.#doing something i havent done before all day. but after than im going home for a week. so ill have lots to contemplate in the airport.#this is not how i thought things would turn out. but im glad im spending the summer working where i am. im learning lots on a human to human#level. and no one bleieves im 27 bc i apparently have a bby face lol. nope im 11 yrs older than u my 16yo coworker#unrelated

I went to a thrift store after work in my NPS uniform and a little old lady asked me if I worked there. At the thrift store. The National Parks Service manages your local Savers
#I've got a seasonal job at a small national historical park#it's a good way to get started working with the park service#the government bought my uniform including the fancy smartwool socks#the work pants and socks and whatever isn't logoed I can wear whenever so that's a sweet deal#anyway#personal (ok to rb)#i don't have the fancy interpretative ranger outfit with the hat and button up#facilities dress code here is a bit more relaxed so it's just a NPS t shirt. still#not a savers employee outfit. lol#nps#i was looking at the yarn btw. i got some. good deal Except it feels horrible#old cheap yarn was really bad quality compared to modern cheap yarn it turns out#I'm not using it for clothes and I think it's fine for what I'm doing but. be aware. touch the thrift store yarn before you buy it

Oh cool! A fic about an MLM ship I like, lets check it out! ... Oh, it hates women.
#looking at you Wintersberg tag#I want to join the Mia Protection Club because where is it#Like I swear to god people are cool with Heisenberg#A man who was planning to use a baby for her power#and tried to kill Ethan multiple times#and probably killed a bunch of the regular villagers who lived in the village#but then people draw the line at Mia#who uh lemme see... Kept her government job a secret from her husband for years#LIKE ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE IV WATCHED MARKIPLIER#and thats a shitty thing#But like Mia has been through the ringer from being held captive by Eveline and the bakers#and then being held captive by Miranda#Like god forbid a woman have hobbies her husband doesn't know about which include escorting and handling a bioweapon posing as a little gir

had an odd dream that i was reading a comic book. sketched a couple of the pages i could remember.
#i might adapt this into an actual story because i am SO SO SO mad that it isn't a thing i can go back to reading#oc#im definitely keeping the concept of save-bot i fucking love save-bot he's just doing his best. i love a robot who wants to help people#im not equipped to be writing about underground rebellions with any sense of real tact though#besides its in a superhero universe/story so you know it would just be so sucks lol#sketch#god the colors were so interesting. the teal parts were all very precisely crosshatched and the fire was this gorgeous brush pen looking#colored inks that just seemed like they were MOVING#and i mean some of that was because i was dreaming but god even in my halfhearted copy you can see some of the movement#it was a bad scene but a really really REALLY fun dream. i love when a book can *get* to me so i was really enjoying it#put it aside so i could take a break and woke up. instant fury at the universe for not having it be a real book instead#ill reblog with details if anyone's curious. i can explain this scene but i dont feel like it#the green people are in a secret basement though. hiding from the government. blue jacket guy is a speedster robot named save-bot who does#rescue stuff with every fire department so fire suppression technology is not very good because save-bot "can just save you''#however they're badly over their legal occupancy and the secret basement has One (1) exit so everyone is like really fucked here.#includinig save-bot who is going to do his job until he dies because he is an ai without any sense of self preservation and he cares#which i didn't even CATCH until i woke up and started tryin to frantically note everything down#and then i was like wait. the glitter on that last page before i realized i needed a glass of water to keep reading... what WAS that...#(it was tears suspended in midair because save-bot goes so fast and also knows he's so fucked LOL)#seriously i'm so mad someone else didn't make this.

These questions weren't asked when I last looked for jobs two years ago. Now, they're on nearly every application.

Do not stop talking about Palestine. Do not forget about Palestine. This is not a battle of religion and I do not think it should be treated as such. From the river to the sea, they will be free 🇵🇸
Disclaimer: I am not an expert. I am just some guy in the US. I am not a direct source of information. Please listen to Palestinians. Please help them directly. Please help with protests if your country is supplying Israel with weapons like the US.
#but wait there's more#it may take a while for me to gather my thoughts so not immediately#I have so many thoughts specially about holy land experience type shit#my personal belief is that Palestinians should be given back their land#Israel will become a part of Palestine and would receive full citizenship#and all of them will be treated as equals#Aid will go to Palestinians as the country and rebuilt as much as it can be after so much tragedy#Since the idea of Israel was to have a protective Jewish state#I think the better option would be for the world to agree collectively to be a place for refugees#if there's another situation like the holocaust#all refugees should be given that opportunity to escape#there's so many conspiracies against Jewish people which is why I think it needs to be declared by countries to protect any Jewish person#that is fleeing antisemitism in their current country#it doesn't need to be a Jewish state especially with so many Jewish people being pro-Palestine#and living outside of Israel#I know people currently living in Israel and I want them to be safe#And they will be if their government just lets Palestinians live#but yea later on I'll talk about the holy land experience thing I'm pissed about rn#I feel like I haven't said enough on the blog. I have terrible OCD where I'll ruminate about this until I panic#I do not want to be a source of that for others so I encourage you to educate yourself without ruminating#It does not help Palestine to shame yourself and others for not being able to do a specific thing#So instead I ask you to look it up when you are able to and do what you can#I usually do the daily clicker and I wanted to join my university's protests but couldn't#since I was the only one working my job which is monitoring the queer safe space on campus#and I didn't want to close that area just in case it was need by protesters or queer students#just found out today ppl at my school will be expelled if caught so that's why it's at the front of my mind rn

I hate living in this world.
#misc#negativity tw#first off i had an argument with a colleague at work#we had to move places for the millionth time in this stupid open space#which already annoyed me#but this guy came at bargained like he always do while i said nothing because it's not like we chooae#and he always does that for actual work because and idk at first i made a snarky comment about now that he got what he wanted he better be#ready to work instead of hiding when somebody ask him to do his job#and he told me he didn't understand the remark#and my hot temper that makes me snap every five years took over#i bet he has by now complaining aboutme like he does about everything#anyway i take hours to calm down (not calm after 4 hours)#I'm also pissed at me cause i can't get emotional without shaking stupidly which makes me look like an hysterical person (i mean sadly i am)#also if there has to have an explanation once my anger is gone tomorrow i will be back on social anxiety mode which is gonna make it worse#all of this reminded me that i need to find a new job for ten thousand reasons#but unfortunately all employers are shit and actually i don't even know what i want to do#and as usual i have no energy for anything because i am still a major piece of shit#then i wanted to relax#made the mistake to open Instagram because I'm also stupid#and i know i don't often talk about politics and stuff#but it's really draining me#i barely or read news just enough to be aware#and honestly its exhausting but I dont want to complain cause Im in a privileged position where i have the chance to be able to 'shut off'#and yes my country and especially this government is sickening me#and like its people too#and also insta is full of pride posts#and i am stupid to read the homophobic and transphobic comments#and genuinely these people alongside racist and islamophobic people really scare the hell out of me#hopefully i don't engage but i shouldn't read anything at all tbh#speaking of pride im spiralling because even tho i kinda identify as aro i feel like a freak and i have nobody to tell me im not

"If enough of us vote third party for president, we could actually GET somewhere with our policy goals!"
Baby girl you can't even get a majority of third party/independents in a single state legislature. In the past 30 years there have been seven independent/third party state governors, and of those, only three were genuinely independent. The rest either got elected as a R/D and switched mid-term when they alienated themselves from their state party, got elected as I and then switched to R/D during their terms (with some of them having served the R/D parties before), or served as proxy candidates with heavy backing and support from one of the major two parties. Even VERMONT, a relative stronghold for independent/third party candidates -- the place that brought you Bernie Sanders -- doesn't have a majority of third party candidates. And when I call them a stronghold, I mean they are the only state (I know of) that consistently elects (less than a handful of) Independent candidates to the state legislature; the place is still dominated by Ds and Rs.
"The highest power in the land can't actually be voted on so there's no reason to vote for the democrats"
Hey princess here are some high school civics question for you: How are Supreme Court judges nominated? :) By what process are they appointed? Who starts that process? :) Why is the Supreme Court considered reflective of who has won the presidency? :)
#the reason you 'cant get anywhere' with your policies is bc youre not the political strategists you think you are#some of you barely know how your own government functions and it fucking shows#and it would be one thing if i looked in ur bios and u were like. 15 or smthg.#but 30?!?!?! you're 30 yrs old and you dont understand that the rsn rvw was overturned under biden is bc trump got his foot in the door???#youre 30 and youll rant abt the long lasting effects of reagan's presidential policies but you cant fathom trump might have left#a similarly long-lasting legacy??#youre 30 and you think the echo chamber you put yourself in on the internet is proof that clrly a vast majority of ppl agree w u#and theres no need to play politics when the democrats couls just wave their wands and fix everything if they werent so evil#despite the fact that both of the ladt two elections about half the population was voting for trump???#the tight margins btwn repub and democrat in congress shld tell you that#you are 30 and dont understand what strategic voting is?#youre 30 and you dont understand the difference between state laws and federal laws#youre 30 and youre upset that joe biden is a 'fascist dictator' but not in the way that gives you everything you want?#youre 30 and youre acting like biden and the dems operate in a vacuum without interference feom political enemies and#moneyed interests that have thrown up lawsuits and obstructionist tactics and misinformation#everytime the try to do something good?#youre 30 and you think palestine will be saved if joe's not in office when the only other viable candidate in the running#was cozy with netanyahu and advocated 'finishing the job' re:palestine and moved the embassy to jerusalem#in a clr fuck you to any palestinian feelings?#youre 30??? youre 30 and you never outgrew the 'mommy and daddy made me mad so I'm gonna smoke to get back at them' mentality???

#my dads back in ohio again so im back on my own. i still feel terrible but at least i have a plan#i have 2 weeks of this semester left. so i have to not fail my genomics exam and work on a group project plus grade a bunch#shouldnt be too hard but everything makes me so tired rn and i just feel this barrier between myself and everything else#even when my dad was here. i just dont kno how to feel happy. just varied levels of stress#but after the semester is over ill have to find a job for the summer. which super stresses me out bc i havent really had a real job outside#academia and im worried about how stressful ill find it bc im sure its gonna suck but at least i wont have to work on my project#i just think if i had a normal job that doesnt dominate every aspect of my life id feel a little less terrible. or at least i wouldnt send#myself spiralling so much. if i stay here i might not survive it#but what if ill just make myself miserable wherever i am? i dunno. but im gonna try to find a non academic job this summer with the epa or#maybe the usgs. i mean ive gota a bachelor's and a masters in environmental topics. that's gotta count for something#just get a government job. pray for a not terrible set of coworkers. and build something from there#it just sucks bc i feel like everythings falling apart and like i kno if i gave it my all i could pull thru and get my phd but im just so#tired of struggling against something everyone else can do. i just cant read at a level appropriate for what im doing#ugh. i dont wanna study for genomics. i just wanna sleep. i just wish i wasn't in this position#and now i a baby about it. i mean my sisters r in similar positions bc the youngest is currently looking for a teaching job. and my middle#sister is looking to move to new york city in the next 6 months and she'd be quitting her job for that. so we're all sorta in flux#i just wanna not be flailing. not watch my hopes and dreams collapse. be excited about anything. im just sad bc i have to make hard choices#even if i know theyre the right ones to make if i want to continue to exist. sometimes u cant have the things u wany.#and that sucks and i hate it. theme of the year: sometimes life sucks and theres nothing u can do abt it#unrelated

look, the most unrealistic thing about national treasure is not the whole "clues to the location of the treasure of the knights templar are hidden on the back of the declaration of independence" thing, nor is it even the "casually stealing the declaration of independence" thing. it's diane kruger hooking up with nic cage when justin bartha is, like, right there
#this was one of those ''this was definitely written by a man'' things#like look if you wanted us to buy that she's going for ben gates you shouldn't have made riley so hot smart and funny okay#pretty sure all of us preferred him over nic cage - sorry nic cage no shade but seriously riley was the real national treasure#him and the meat lady#national treasure#although the ''high-ranking government official having an EXTREMELY easy to guess password that is intimately connected with her#job and nobody sees an issue with with this'' thing is also extremely stretching to the imagination

cupping your face gently between my hands. there are people in the world whose whole entire job is 'explaining terrifying bureaucratic processes that dont make sense' and you can ask them any questions you want. for real.
#truly my number 1 adulting life hack is. when you look at a set of instructions and go Ok my head is so not going to wrap around these.#you find the 'info' or 'intake' or 'advisor' email address on whatever stupid incomprehensible website you're on#and you email them and you say Help Me. and theyll help you.#having BEEN the bitch on the other end of these Help Me emails i can PROMISE you that they want to help!!!#so long as you are friendly polite & patient they will be perfectly pleased to answer even questions that seem silly!!#honestly. when you remember the kind of vitriol that people throw at customer assistance staff on the daily... like.#nobody is judging you for not understanding!! it doesnt make you dumb and even if it did they wouldnt care! the bar is low!#literally so long as you're nice they will at WORST send you back a moderately helpful form email#and at best theyll sit on the phone with you for 45 minutes walking you through the whole thing in excruciating detail.#until you could literally explain it yourself.#this is their JOB they get PAID to do it. YOU PAY THEM.#YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER. even if its the government you pay taxes. theyre there to help you!!!#ASK FOR HELP!!!!!#rhi talks
