Hey not to make it stick out like a sore thumb, but people are still asking for a vaccine? That is a bit odd to me (I may have seen tis 1 in 500 applications, but have not seen that probably in 2-3 years). Regardless, it is hard out there, and I wish you luck. I would see if you can transfer to another field.



A lot fewer job descriptions require vaccines now than 2022.

I'm still unvaccinated and not willing to get a vaccine because if I do that I could still get made redundant the next day ("at will" employer)

Exhibition Hub emailed me about Guest Services to set up a phone interview and i answered.

She did not get back to me. That was one week ago.

my whole worthless corpse has gone weak, numb, and limp a long time ago.

the public transportation where i live is pretty good, but only for some destinations and only during certain hours. and public transportation still takes a lot of time, $$$ and energy. exhausted all the time. have to be close to a Litterbox at all times. just the schedule and public transportation alone makes it really hard to get any sort of job.

i looked up companies that are allegedly autism friendly and tried applying to some of them.

on the other hand, home depot was on the list, and i already work there.

"autism friendly" is too vague. home depot has hand dryers in the litterbox that are so loud, and not "autism friendly" per se. the more ambiguous their statements, the more skepticism necessary.

but there were only a couple of companies on the list, and the vast majority of the companies too far away to work there, or i don't have enough job skills to work there. mostly software engineering and banks. not unskilled restaurant./retail/sales.

i am so afraid of getting made redundant from home depot.

two weeks ago, ASM Gabriel had the nerve to tell me that i did not get a job interview for Tool Rental Lead b/c Supervisor Angela-idiot had the nerve to write me up for "walking around listening to music". (rolls eyes). gabriel said that, until the write up "falls off" in november (if i haven't gotten made redundant by then), i won't be allowed to transfer to jobs with a higher salary. in the meantime, i could transfer to jobs with the same salary, but there is just one job with the same salary, and it is Cashier, and there are zero job openings right now (although they have had plenty of new cashiers).

applied for a couple jobs.

scheduled a job interview for thursday. the job description said that Utility Workers have to be able to work a wide variety of hours. due to public transportation, i can't do that. but it might be a nice little "field trip" over there, and good job interview practice. whatever.

on the other hand, i haven't taken a shower since February 2023, so whatever.
