I despise asking for help in such situations, but if anyone reads this that is charitable enough, my Ko-Fi is listed below as any donation would be helpful to cover keeping a roof over my head.

Primarily seeking a position that is either remote, hybrid , or on-site.

Today's "I'm laid off and running out of things to do" task. Potting some wild plants from the backyard. Every spring we get these beautiful flowers wild in the lawn which I believe are Viola sororia.
Anywho, now they're in my room making it even beautiful.
Hey I'm still looking for work.
I've applied to a lot of places in my area and I'm getting nothing.
I'm a programmer at heart, but I've also been looking for regular entry-level jobs because there haven't been any coding positions open at my level as far as I could tell.
If you can offer me a job, it might save my butt. And if you can't offer me a job, could you at least share this post?
I live 30 minutes away from Bellevue if that helps.
Day four: 
vs 
While some issues are being discussed, one isnt HECS DEBT. We can talk about having a beer with the Prime ministerial candidates but not EDUCATION costs and spiralling debt.
While we’re at it. UNEMPLOYED? Has the living allowance been raised? At all, does it match inflation? Is it below the poverty line?

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility
I live in #TX and I can't afford to leave. I'm also #unemployed.
If you believe in #ReproductiveJustice, and that #abortion is #healthcare, please also vocally advocate for access to gender-affirming healthcare.
The #government must not have the #power to control what people can or cannot do with their own bodies.

Today's "I'm laid off and bored" project.
Figured a torii gate for my desk would be really nice. So why spend $10 and buy one when I could 1) Pinch the skin between my thumb and finger between a hammer and chisel. 2) Make a mess everywhere. 3) Aggravate my lower back pain by bending over chiseling. 4) Realize how much of a pain in the ass cutting a mortice in a round dowel is.
Thankfully wood filler exists. 
I suppose I should do this now it's the weekend.
I am officially #unemployed as of 17.00 today.
I intend to remain so until I am once more able to write code for myself. (Or, I guess, until I decide that it's not going to happen and I find another career).
Time for a Luny Rant (you know a problem shared.). So I applied to go back to my previous job (Medium friendly company owned by large corp. Group), had the interviews and did well. Everyone in the company wants me back. But the final offer has to be signed of by the owner of the group, as he likes to micro-manage everything. Its been six weeks since the CTO signed off my offer. The managers in the company have tried escalations and diplomacy to get him to sign off. It is very frustrating as I'm currently unemployed due to redundancy and only getting a few interests in the market. I'd really like to go back, its work I'm good at, should never have left but its a long complicated story why. #rant #unemployed #frustration
The job I thought I had lined up just evaporated from the labour market. So it looks like I am going to have a lot of time to experience spring of 2025. Remember me if you need a fun informal speaker, commercially or for charity!
#House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries (D-NY) on #Budget Resolution: "Let me be clear, House #Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one... They will not get a single Democratic vote. why? Because we are voting with the American people.”
Can anyone recommend some #volunteer opportunities in #Seattle that are currently seeking new volunteers?
I was recently laid off and don't have a car, so I'm looking for options that are accessible via public transit and okay with volunteers who may not be able to commit longer term. I'd love to find something productive to do for at least a few hours per day, 3-5 day per week until I find a new job.
while surely no #angel or #rolemodel (said to have killed at least 4 people himself) in 1929 #greatdepression #mafia boss #alcapone set up free soup kitchen for #poor an #unemployed, so he did more for the #poor than #trump in his lifetime X-D ? https://www.history.com/news/al-capone-great-depression-soup-kitchen
Welp. #unemployed yet again from yet another start up. Can’t find stability anywhere.
