Confess here

[nyalpine90]

trying to keep my cool, avoid confrontation with certain relatives.
i noticed increase in spam calls, unwanted emails.
i googled my name, my number is linked to my brother, my sister and my parents. I have received random calls from telemarketers, vendors... asking for them.
Also noticed email addresses using my name that is link to my sis, and bro.

there has been no contact since 2018

Little League Baseball World Series is currently happening. I confess I like watching it more than Major League Baseball.

I was manager for my son's team for a few years. Those kids are so emotional and they try so hard. Their hearts are really into it.

Was some of the best times I had with my son. That was more than 20 years ago. I remember like it was yesterday. Watching it on TV really brings back the memories.

^^ He was 9 and 11 there.

I confess that I am actually sick and tired with some circumstances and my ego needs a rest. I"ll leave you guys a few days alone and fly to a nice hideout.

I got a raise at work, but not RSU's this time. A raise was nice.

But I'm still a bit dejected over the job search. Got through 3 rounds with Amazon, interviewed with 2 other companies, and have my resume ignored or told I wouldn't be considered by about 6-7 other companies.

I'm wondering it my resume doesn't look good, or if some companies are worried that 15 years of experience with the last 6 at Oracle means they think aren't going to be willing to pay enough.

The holidays aren't even here and my anxiety is on full go. I love when it turns fall but dealing with certain family members makes me want to vomit.

Except for right in my nose holes, I shave with my wife's razor.

It's nice to know you still use her razor to shave your butthole. #savageoldman

It's SO hit and miss man. Buzz words, getting through the bots, inexperienced HR cock blocking the people you really need to see etc.

At the absolute worst time you can imagine. You're probably better off getting it out of the way.

Although it's a pain in the ass, and normally inconvenient having to sit around and waste time waiting to see if you're selected. I actually enjoy sitting on a jury. I have been known to change the opinions of 11 people

I remember jury duty decades ago where you'd have to go every day, for a couple of weeks I think. Then if you didn't get picked you were done. That's when it was a real PITA. Much simpler now, though I haven't had to go in a while.

One cocktail and 2 glasses of wine and I feel like death. Even did a work out and still feel like I want to It's gonna be a long day.

So you feel hungover from last night?

Drink lots of water.

Yes, I'm on over 50oz of water and still feel awful. It's weird how sometimes you can drink one amount and feel fine and other times it really makes you feel like crap.

I think it depends on what's in your system before you start drinking.

I try to have lots of water before I start and usually drink 4 or 5 glasses of wine and never (rarely) have a hangover.

I know that does nothing to make you feel better now. Sorry.

When they send out the next jury duty survey mail, check off the box about being willing to serve on a Grand Jury. I'm not self-employed, and my employer had to pay me full wages to serve. It is a two-month term, and you all meet twice per week. It was like a mini paid vacation!

Unlike a regular jury for a trial, the Grand Jury operates without a judge in the room. Jurors can ask questions of witnesses, and about 98% of the time the person being indicted doesn't even know that the Grand Jury is hearing their case until after a decision is made and an inditement handed down. Our whole group was sad when our term ended, and I would absolutely serve again if asked.....

1. That's another tax people don't want to pay for.
2. Then you have people that are depending on pay to give the state the outcome they want in a trial.

That seems like a TERRIBLE idea.

I have no problem doing the jury duty thing. I would find it very interesting to do the Grand Jury, but meeting twice a week for two months is a bit much to juggle with my normal responsibilities. No vacation for me.
