On striking out
I feel like I say this a lot but it has been a year. You probably hear it a lot for any number of reasons. There's a lot out there to be miserable about. My primary source of misery is probably my career. I left a job that was, to put it diplomatically, not great for my psyche, and since then have struggled to land something permanent. It never seems to get easier.
I'd say I'm putting in the work. I'm trying to be a better candidate and the work I've been doing on my own has been really rewarding. This week I've been shopping what feels like quality open source work. I hope it continues and I find support for it.
This isn't exactly the most pleasant way to start a new publication I suppose but it's the realest me. I'll probably feel better when baseball is on later. Go Dodgers!
