A small rug I guess, just a square piece of carpet that I couldn’t bring myself to call a rug.

This was in her bedroom, and it looked like the regular snail or slug slime trail.

If you had seen it in person, you’d have known.

My guess is it got in through the window and was never able to find its way out and probably hid somewhere in her room during the day, coming out at night to uh… feast on… no idea.

It’s probably like a fly, can find its way into houses and things but not get out. It probably found a way onto the mat through the least resistance and then didn’t find a way back out by the time I found it.

Years ago I had a housemate and she told me that every night, a slug would leave a trail on her bedroom mat and this was going on for years. She could never find it or catch it.

She went away for a week or so for work so I poured some salt on her mat.

Next morning I go look and I find the slug stuck in the middle of the mat unable to escape.

Took a photo of it, tossed it out into the garden and vacuumed the mat.

Showed her the photo when she returned and told her what I had done. She was so relieved that the phantom slug had been dealt with.

Old washing machine drum?

My guest mug is my face photoshopped onto some buff dude dressed up as a unicorn.

I don’t, but my coffee mug does.

First thing I thought as well, there are a lot of issues in the photo.

Not even sure what that thing is on the floor to the left, the letters look wrong and so do the buttons and stove knobs.

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin and for the last week or more every Youtube video I open takes about 10 or so seconds to open, just sitting there spinning.

Nah, he gives me that creepy feeling.

He has that creep factor.

I’ve seen people post about how black cats are not popular because they do not photo well.

I disagree, I think they photo well.

It’s just a solid colour with eyes floating there. They make great photos.

You’ll be sitting there wondering… where is my cat and then the TV opens its eyes.

The reason I don’t buy booze and limit snack buying… if it’s in my house it is going to be consumed quickly.

It’s like a challenge, it’s there, it will be consumed.

and more.

You have no idea what my keyboard looks like right now, may have to replace it.

Man… I used to listen to Lost Prophets a lot in college.

Never again, can never revisit any songs ever.

There is a radio version and uncut version of the song.

The uncut version has some extra… vocals in the bridge which is what this post refers to.

Starts at about 3:26.

Can’t even play the game.

I can spend as much time in the menu and settings as I want, watch the first cutscene just fine… but as soon as I enter the game it freezes within 1 minute every time.

Literally unplayable.

I’ve tried tweaks I found online, tried new drivers (the version mentioned in the launcher) and the previous driver version recommended on the official website and no changes.

Womp womp.

Installed Doom 2016 and enjoying it again.

Remote, hybrid and on-site… everything. I am applying for everything.

Basically, I am applying for any role I have done previously and recently.

Junior, mid and senior roles.

There are loads of IT roles that overlap, so a lot of different things I can do.

I went all out applying in about August last year and I am at about 550+ applications.

I’ve probably put in about 30+ today alone.

I’ve had about 6 interviews and only 2 of them were from applications I made, the rest were organised by recruiters that contacted me.

Spoke to an old colleague of mine that did a similar job to me, he got the axe from our company after I left and it took him about 300 applications to get 3 interviews and then finally a job.

Unfortunately for me, I took a role in a niche area because I needed a visa at the time and moved onto another role afterwards but I have too little experience in that area to land another role in it.

So, my main focus is too long ago to land a role, my latest experience is too little to land a role, and my main experience is too niche for me to find any roles.

Speaking to a few recruiters and they all say the same thing, 300+ applications on every role they advertise.

I have a few saved cover letters that cover certain role types.

I either copy and paste that in or attach them.

Regardless, getting nowhere with the job search. The job market is cooked.

and this just popped up in my feed.
