For a good time, log into any computer at $formeremployer using $backdoortheystillprobablyhaventaddressed does have a nice ring to it.

So through talking here and in talking to friends in what’s left of the real world, I’ve decided moving to Oregon with my friends might be a healthy choice for me. There are a few obstacles I need to overcome first though.

First, I need to have a job ready for me.

Second, debt consolidation fucked my credit rating harder than I thought it would. I’m at 592 now, down from 806! Won’t finding a landlord with that rating be difficult?

Third, I have to fund relocating across an entire country.

So one step at a time. I need to find a job where I’m going. I have IT helpdesk experience and have been the go to computer guy for years in my area, especially with the elderly crowd. (I have most of them on Linux now since it REALLY fucks with scammers and lets them get more life out of older equipment.) Currently I’m doing call center medical insurance work from home but I can’t take the job with me. I’ve worked for a few places, including a county IT job where I completely changed their process for deploying new systems and put them way ahead of schedule. I’m adaptable and good with people and just really want to make things better for people. Coworkers like me. Customers adore me. I need to find a way to channel that into a job on the other side of the country.

Anyone know a guy?

This is true but there’s a greater good at play here. Can you imagine what would happen if many people did that? We still outnumber the Nazis. We just have to be willing to kill them. We would end up dead too but those left behind would have better lives.

I’m just not willing to do such a thing. And that’s a problem.

I’ve met me. I’m not really compatible with most people. I’m loud without knowing it. I freely discuss heavy topics and bring things down without being aware. I misread the room. I’m a lot.

I appreciate what you’re saying but I can’t just start killing Nazis. My options are limited.

It depends on the company. My mother and father hate my humor. I rock the boat too much for them. My siblings like it. My friends like it. Employers hate it.

Basically I have a problem with the concept of “sacred cows” and that upsets some people. I can disagree, I can even mock, but no matter what it should always be acceptable to discuss a topic. But others see that as rocking the boat and they are uncomfortable.

I don’t think a personality like mine would be welcomed in China. They would disappear me there for joking about tiannamen square.

I need a roof over my head, a place to plug in my EV, and job with health benefits so I can afford my HIV meds. Bonus points if the housing arrangements allows cats. Mine died a while ago and I’d really like to have a cat again

Thanks but what we deserve is irrelevant to reality. Without some sort of consequences this will not change and he’s shielded himself from consequences.

I can’t afford to eat. An entire paycheck goes to rent. Half the month I have family buying my groceries. There is no room for joy in my life because I can’t afford it.

I’m hardly a soldier. I haven’t even attended a protest before. I live in Ohio where that sort of thing doesn’t actually matter. In Ohio, republicans gerrymandered the state, ignore the courts, and ignore the voters. Protests are just a political inconvenience to them but since no republicans have been killed over it yet, it doesn’t actually matter.

I am a liberal. I want fairness and growth. I want responsibility. That even if it means the republicans have to die to get that done I want it. But I can’t bring myself to harm any of them. And they know people like me won’t do that. And they don’t take us seriously because we are not a threat to them.

Basically there’s nothing I can do here unless I’m willing to become another Luigi.

I don’t think there’s anyone left that really cares about me. I’m more of an obnoxious pet they regret buying but now are stuck with. My ex left and married someone else within a year. The cat died. I lost my home because the ex owned it and wanted me out so he could rent it out for more money. My sister is really the only person in my family that likes me. The nephews and nieces like me because to them I’m a giant kid they get to play with. But they are also still young enough that if I vanished from their lives they would forget me and move on just fine.
