I have no idea how I would fare today. I've been in the same job for 24 years so have not had an interview since the years still began with a "19". I have done many interviews as a hiring manager, but not sure if that would help or hinder if I was on the applicant side of the table.

As for doing well from the hiring manager side, my company has a top notch recruiter and some excellent HR folks who sit in if he's not available so I have enough support that even if I am not in peak form, the interview still tends to go where we need it to.

Today it is dependant on how much Bull you can disperse ... that's the reality Belief! No abstract ... too imaginary? So it departs ...
 
Even monster corporate affairs find that HR is just a waste if mindless AI can figure out what we don't know ... about the elevated!

Isn't that prodigal (having or giving something on a lavish scale)? Like wasted enlightenment on mortals focussed on means to an end! Anon ...
 
Good morning. It is pouring rain here this morning. Yesterday hubby said a fall storm was forecast so I guess this is it. I don't have to go far today. I'll be heading to the lounge here at the park to get together with other crafters this afternoon

We had Covid last month and didn't opt for Paxlovid. Reading about potential side effects put me off.

I found it to be worth it. I felt quite a bit better with taking it and also noticed symptoms got worse after stopping - not really a full relapse, but enough to see the medication was still helping me at that point.
While waiting to get it my symptoms were getting worse fairly quickly.
Paxlovid mouth and effects from needing to stop certain medications weren't fun but I would make the same decision again.

I understand though it can be difficult to weigh risks of COVID vs. risks of Paxlovid. I think vaccination status should be considered to ie. how long has it been, have they been vaccinated with a reasonable match.
 
Good morning! For 73% turnout for an election, for Paxlovid and its benefits and side effects, for those doing jobs interviews, on both sides of the interview, for all the other issues and thoughts that come, the Coffee Cart, and the Room for All, exist. Come in and relax, have a cup or mug of your preferred hot beverage, join in the fun. All is ready.

Phew. What a day. I went to a knitting group at the library for a couple hours, then to lunch with three other women then coffee with my cancer ladies group. I'm now home with my feet up listening to the rain fall on the roof. Tomorrow will be a day for me to read and relax.
 
Wow. Long day. I have spent a lot of time in a dead freezer with a lot of dead food. Yuck. But my new Nigerian friend was a great paid help, cleaning the bathroom upstairs in preparation for toilet replacement. To some hilarity and inadvertent help. Floor was dirty, duct was wide open because cover was awaiting replacement, and now I've seen her work, she uses water as a weapon, so in cleaning floor, ton of water got into ducts. What's underneath bathroom but laundry room, which floor could really do with some washing anyway, and all the soapy water in the ducts wasn't hurting either. And we got almost nowhere trying to help her with a work permit, but we are trying. And the big guy, who is also now very sick with COVID (and he's man-sick, let me tell ya), has been issued strict instructions to go get Paxlovid tomorrow, did start supper for us, and ate with us, and is promising his supervisory help tomorrow and I used his shower and washed my revolting smelling hair. Wish me luck. I am exhausted. The bin is picked up thursday. I have a big man for moving and doing anything really, from 10-whenever, a healthy Nigerian woman to do anything cleaning from 9 to whenever, my daughter, for free, I hope, and I wish she'd text me back, a scrap man coming at 1 to pick up freezer and all metal recycling, and hopefully the big guy for some help supervising. Frig-ma-jig and damnation. I am thanking Godde for Paxlovid at this moment. I have instructed big guy, who acquired it yesterday, to go get Paxlovid on his way to his other job tomorrow. We are awfully busy for retired people, both currently officially sick; my mask collection has been revitalized and washed, and I have a little supply of N95s, and it feels like 'oh, not again'...

Try to pace yourself a bit. Being sick and getting things accomplished don't go so great together.
 
Second twenty yard bin gets picked up thursday. Guy to pick up freezer shows up tomorrow at one. Getting things accomplished while sick is going to have to happen. I can collapse for a bit on friday, then working Saturday. I'm liking the antivirals a lot.

Curious, are you tasting the medication? It's described in some places as altered sense of taste - not how I would describe it. I could taste foods normally, sense of smell was fine. I could also taste the medication within 30 minutes being excreted into my saliva - and it lasted a good chunk of time after each dose plus had a bit of a cumulative effect.
If I had the energy to be busy maybe I wouldn't have noticed it as much though!
 
Good morning! For knitting groups and lunch, for housecleaning and help, for working through illness, for getting rid of extraneous stuff, for the sense of taste and smell, for all the other things that go on, we gather round the Coffee Cart for conversation, support, and virtual hot beverages of all sorts. The coffee is perked, tea water hot, goodies appearing as well. Come on in and join in.

Is work an unhealthy addiction to some people as they have not learned relaxation theory ... a small idea about coming down ... some day?

Imagine over taxed sub conscience!

Are poor folk and disadvantaged losers in this game of addition of one part of the greater psyche? Thus the sub or hypo nature ... said to be a negative world for the i ! Them are dissociated ... especially from relaxation ... while I work on my observation and reading intuit!
 
Good morning from the very wet coast. I don't think it's possible for the rain to be heavier. It is much needed after the drought we experienced through the summer. It will be a good day for reading a book

Sorry to hear you are sick but kudos for attacking the backlog of work at your house. Is a new look for your home emerging yet?

Not so far, but thanks to years of steroid-treated sinus infections, I have a minimal and quite screwed up sense of smell, and therefore, taste. I can't smell cilantro anymore, for instance, but can sniff out marshmallows at 40 feet.

Not typically a good thing, but nice to avoid tasting bitterness more than half of the time.

Yes, empty. 40 yards of crap is a lot of yards of crap. It looks like an art gallery. With lots of boxes remaining to be sorted through.

My house looked empty to me at first after a big decluttering effort (not as extensive as yours). Gradually it started to seem spacious and uncluttered in a good way. Easier to clean for sure.

I still have a few collections of "stuff" which I like or feel sentimental sbout so I am no minimalist. But it's mostly in cabinets with glass doors. Dusting required once per year or less.
