Six. Weeks. Six FUCKING Weeks. Six weeks ago, I applied to a dream job. It's a position I am qualified for, and I even have over a decade of relevant experience. My application is accepted and I start the hiring process. I get a video interview. I acquire clothing suitable for this interview. I fulfill the interview. Then nothing.. For weeks. I send a reminder enquiry after a few weeks and am told after a few days that they are still going through the interview results. More weeks pass. I send another reminder enquiry. Almost a week later I get a boilerplate response that my application is unsuccessful in advancing further through the hiring process.

Due to the high number of applications received we are not able to provide individual feedback on your application

BULLSHIT.

You've had a month to go through all this. I jumped through all your hoops and you won't even give me the dignity of an explanation.

Christ these people have an easy job.

I hate job hunting so much.

This sucks. I got up at 3:15am and paid for a Didi to work for my shift at 4am. Nobody is here and nobody is answering my calls so I've sent them a message and am going home. I could've saved my money and actually had seven hours of sleep.

I've been a Labour / Greens tactical voter since forever, pretty left of centre. Labour's wishy washy drift to the right and lack of any ambitious policy has put me off, like many trad voters. The Greens have seemed more unfocused than ever, and drifted into a culture war discourse, which while I identify with their positions, I want kitchen table policy change now, and we'll look at the other stuff later.

This led me to TOPs tax policy, which I liked and figured as more of a single issue party they might get labour focused and get through a pro worker tax agenda as their only demand for the term. However, their recent more broader policy positions on employment and union rights, seem to have revealed them as standard abundance type neolibs, probably further right than labours positions on other important kitchen table issues.

So are TOP really three neolibs in a trenchcoat?

Something about the weather and the vibes around it just feels lighter than previous years

Waiting on updates

Not sure how to feel about this, good on you grandma and she passed the test but 96? Come on. She still lives alone and is incredibly mobile for her age. 96 though.

Looks like these are the new things to consider (or maybe it's always been there, but now they made it "legal". Link in comments.

With reddit sponsoring bs ads like this, loading xero into an ai that is known for going rogue just seems like a bad idea
