I didn't get the Weedmaps job. I'm upset about this. Other stuff happened, but I don't care right now.

Interview Lunch at 3 Lions followed by ice cream. Totally needed that. I think we have a plan for the front yard. Now I just need a job. Didn't hear anything from Weedmaps.

Breakfast at Stricker's, a little shopping. Then poking at servers. Rewrote my backup scripts again, to make better user of restic. More to do still, but this is enough for now. Raspbian's version of restic is antique, rather annoyingly.

Not much to report the past couple days. Playing video games, scheduling interviews. Fighting with Steamlink today; can't get audio to stream from macs properly.

Posting late because ... well, you'll see. Didn't post on the 12th, because I went to bed at 6pm, with 50mg diphendydramine and 10mg thc on board to knock me out. Or so I hoped. Didn't work. Tried to get to sleep until around 9,

Too damned hot. Some job stuff. Asking ES questions. Asking why Cigna thinks I'm not covered. Lunch at Leena's. Got nails redone.

Scheduled to fly down to LA Thursday morning, interview with Weedmaps, then fly back that evening. Expecting to hear from a hiring manager at Leafly sometime soon. Didn't hear from LanceSoft today about the problems with their paperwork, which is fine. Tried to call

16 days without a post. Two weeks my file server's been offline. Let me sum up: I shut down Antares, the file server, because it's very loud and I was going to have to be sitting at my desk writing code for an interview.

Four calls with recruiters today. Two with largely uninteresting jobs, one okay, one interesting. Got an interview tomorrow. I need to schedule PT for my back.

Didn't sleep at all. Had a worrying episode of low blood pressure induced light headedness around 1am. Gave up trying to sleep around 5am. Wandered out to the living room and emailed all of the interviews I had set up to request rescheduling. Around

Filed my ES claim for my first week (the one that doesn't count). Mostly played video games. Finally won a Conquest game of Castle Story.

L and I got our nails done, because I didn't want to do any in-person interviews with four-week-old acrylics. Then breakfast at Strickers. Then banging my head against javascript. Helped Ogre delete part of the front porch. Skipped a party. Now to early bed.

Doctor appointment. Upshot: MRI, PT, Drugs. If four weeks of PT don't fix the problem, injections. Yay. Lunch with ex-coworkers. Mostly griping. Also cheese sticks. Heard back from Stitch Fix. They're passing. Trying to clean up my iTunes library, and apparently managed to delete

Dandy Dogs for lunch. Chat with a dev manager, which led to a call tomorrow with their recruiter to set up interviews. Responded to a couple other random linkedin inquiries (autodesk, but in boston; amazon).

Got my stuff out of my old office. Looked at some jobs. Set up an interview and a talk with a recruiter. Worked on Convivius. Got the participant list loading in just over 4 seconds, down from almost 12s in production.

Applied to three jobs. Tried to file for UI, but the website broke. Tried to call mom several times, no answer. Took a nap.

So, today was pretty shitty. Had a meeting with my grandboss. Had Loree drive me in, got to the office, and he'd rescheduled it. Boss said to go home, could do it by phone. Care to guess what the meeting was? Our UX dev

Doctor ordered MRI. If it shows anything, we may be able to make the referral to physmed urgent and get me in sooner. So, of course, now we get to wait for my insurance to approve the MRI. Did some work, mostly answering questions.
