I think they're also under my bed...

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.

I'm going to throw things at the wall for a while...

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.
