It's Been a Wild Ride

Sorry I've been so silent. I have been swamped with life, and haven't been that public with it.

First, my poor and well-loved dog is dealing with some recently diagnosed cancer that is terminal for him. It's kept me pretty busy, because he stopped eating his regular food, and I've been having to do a lot of meal prep home cooked meals and such for him just to get him to eat.

Then, our A/C died. Super fun for South Texas, where it's a requirement for living.

Lastly, I've had a lot of interviews and recruiter interactions over the past few weeks. Of them, a few fails but entirely based on steep competition and not me. However, there is a win, because I've accepted a contract role that I start on Tuesday, which may (but is not promised) convert to full time. Finally I have income again after almost 2 years and now over 30 different companies I've interviewed with.

So, if you are searching for a job still, keep it up, it'll happen only if you keep the work up. The world can only seem to be against you for so long before you realize it's just a place that changes a lot and you just need to constantly adapt.
