Before Uber we used to have real taxi drivers that had those roller bead things hanging on their seats

What's your rig look like now?

I'll argue it was still his first try because he didn't stop trying

No one buys the excuse, 'I look like shit because I'm so busy working'

I liked the idea of long hair but was never completely happy with mine. I felt like it was curly in the wrong way and just felt like a lot of work to maintain for someone that didn't want to put the effort in.

I got my hair cut and beard trimmed today so I look normal. My dad was always telling me to get it cut and there's too much at stake, so I don't want anything being a potential obstacle to another job.

And I think I might look alright? I've lost some hair and pretty much always had it tied back, so I'm not sure if I'd grow it out again when shit gets stable

I watched the sequel to OSS set in Cairo and it was a fun movie. Kind of like a French Austin Powers but a bit edgier on everything but the sex side

We went to a book fair and picked up some DVDs and vhs as well. I think it's time to get the boys into physical media. They can bring us wiggles DVDs to watch instead of us just going on YouTube

A recruiter I've worked with before has a contract role that's the exact thing I'm looking for. These roles are always an immediate start so things may just work out. And to think how grateful I'll be to the first place that takes me after all this

They brought the meeting forward to today and I've been terminated. I'm just glad it's over

I haven't been as active on here because I wanted to sit down and type out what's been going on at work properly.

I'm still going through my performance support agreement. The first period of it went for a month, the second only went for two weeks. I was expecting to to go for the same amount of time so I didn't do everything I was supposed to for that period and it caught me off-guard.

I'm currently on my second written warning and I can't see myself getting through this. Something always comes up, or something goes wrong, or it feels like they point out something else I'm not doing that wasn't brought up before.

If I wrote this all out two weeks ago I would have been more upset and frantic, but it's like I'm at the Acceptance stage now. I'm putting in for other jobs and fully project managing my job hunt. I've just accepted the 18th may be my last day, and honestly my notice period is the biggest thing stopping me from moving on to work I'd rather do, even if it's just temporary.

Things have been going alright at work the last couple of weeks, but that's also because there hasn't been as much for me to do. Best case scenario is they decide to keep me on and I can leave on my own terms and get my leave paid out. I've decided that I don't want to work here, I don't want to work under my manager, and I don't want to use Marketing Cloud anymore.

I've found some roles where I could make things work, and they're much more in line with what I want to do. The job I have should be easy, but it's amazing how a job were you work from home clicking things on a screen can be made so frustrating and stressful.

Just went through the performance discussion and I still have my job. It just seems like I'll be getting around on 1 HP at work for a while.

My biggest hope is nothing else happens any time soon as it will be too many mistakes close together. I think I'm going to work on getting out of here and at least this allows me to leave on my own terms.
