😃 I want pizza. 😭 My favorite local pizza place is closed on Monday. 🙃 I still burned calories walking there.

The Buoys’ “Timothy” is, to my knowledge, the only one-hit wonder about implied cannibalism. Three men are trapped in a mine cave-in. Only two survive, and the lyrics imply that they ate their third companion, Timothy. My Mom also named me after this song. True story! youtu.be/XjSmFq3j-8M?...

As someone who wore thicker frames to hide the thick lenses that come with astigmatism, I am so glad I had vision correction surgery.

It seems like NBC News is putting more stuff behind paywalls.

My job search has moved to the “if I see the company uses a Workday applicant tracking system, I hesitate to apply” phase. 🫠

I applied for a very-unexpected job: as a comedy writer for a pharmaceutical startup. Here’s to hoping my sketch comedy experience pays off again!

When I was a journalist, I was taught to write in conversational and accessible language. If someone needed a dictionary or thesaurus to decipher what I wrote, then I wasn’t doing the right job. That’s why this @nbcnews.com headline makes my head hurt so much.

I still don’t have a job but I won an award for a solo play I did about trying to find a job. 🎉

I got rejected for a job today with a HR-complaint email that translates to: “We’re passing on you. You’re overqualified and we’re terrified you’ll get bored and quit in three months, or we just found someone cheaper who won't ask for a raise.” Ten months unemployed despite my best efforts. 🫠

I bit the bullet and put the green “open to work” banner on my LinkedIn profile. A career coach said it’s better to be visible as a job seeker versus “oh no will I seem desperate?” So far, it’s netted me a pitch to own a franchise. 😑

The job search is exhausting. That is all.

I’m an unemployed person with a background in improv. I won’t take this job. Humans before AI.

I just submitted my concept of a one-person show about unemployment to Atlanta Fringe! Fingers crossed!

I propose replacing multi-round job interviews with a candidate hiring process that puts them through the Double Dare obstacle course. Get all eight flags in your hand in 60 second or less? You get hired!

Job searching in 2025 makes me feel like 🫠

In 1997, one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar was Deftones’ “Be Quiet and Drive.” In 2025, I learned I’ve been playing it long the whole time…even though it still sounds pretty much the same.

Turns out this package will likely never arrive. A U.S. Postal Service representative finally confirmed the package is indeed lost. It took me reaching out to my elected member of Congress to finally get a definitive response from the Post Office.

It’s May and, according to my dentist, I maxed out my dental insurance for the year. Why yes, I do have United Healthcare, how did you guess?
