Been noticing that I'm getting followed by a number of Russian-language accounts. I have no idea who they are.

So, new Russian друзья, introduce yourselves in tbe comments. In English.

If you can't be bothered to do that? Отвали.

Long-time readers will remember that for a time I was working very hard to get a job as a public safety dispatcher. I was in the 99th Percentile on the POST exams, interviewed fairly well, and even made a few hire lists.

Then I got back to driving. When that ended due to my health, I came close to applying for a few dispatching jobs, but they would have required relocating, and with [personal profile] kshandra starting at EarthBaby, I didn't want to upset that apple cart.

Then I had my stroke.

Today, I keep hearing how the San Jose Police Department is hiring 19 dispatchers. Dates for the POST tests, hiring dates, starting salaries, the whole nine yards.

And I can't do it. Besides the aphasia, I get tired too fast. So one of my dream jobs is opening up literally two miles from me, and I can't bloody do it.

Yes, throwing things at the walls. Just the thing right now.
