Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I feel totally rudderless. Fourteen times now, since January, there seemed to be an offramp from solitary confinement. Each time, it falls through at the end.

I know from experience that it only takes one success, but this is even more disheartening than sending hundreds of resumes into the abyss, as these were all via networking.

Ugh, that sucks. I wish I had some sort of advice to offer, but everything in this country is so fucked. Rooting for you.
