HOW "DEAD WEIGHT FALLS AND IT SETS YOU FREE"

Q: I had been out of work in my industry since Feb 2020. I spent the entire time sending out resumes to countless job postings. I would often send my resume out to 200+ job listings and not even receive a single interview. During the entire period, I probably had 3-4 real legitimate interviews. In one of them the guy interviewing me was some schmuck who I replaced in a prior job that I was eventually let go from due to internal politics and bullshit outside of my abilities. So this guy basically already had a bad opinion about me, and I knew I wasn't going to get that job.  I've felt essentially blacklisted from my industry despite the fact that I never once got written up or reprimanded in my previous position at Apple. However, when I applied to go back, I was not re-hired. It pissed me the fuck off because I had recruited a guy from my master's program out of the kindness of my heart to help someone else out, and all he did was bring negative stories about me and gossip ...

"Nothing Is Cool" by 30 Foot Fall

30 Foot Fall was an awesome late 90s era skatepunk band from Texas. Lyrics to their song "Nothing Is Cool" are just as relevant today as they were back then. Society is still caught up in the past, pointing fingers at each other rather than coming together and trying to understand one another and form mutual respect. Social media has exacerbated tribalism to the point that entire groups of Karens are bullying people online and trying to suppress the voices of those who are different from themselves. Nothing's getting resolved. People are just pushing the pile of shit back and forth on each other.

Somewhere in crypto land, Mr Doge is looking at us with contempt while thinking to him/her/they/it's-self "Wow. Such progress. Very respect."





Lyrics:


"We always sit around with our thumbs up our ass 

Ain't going nowhere, too caught up in the past 

Easy to commiserate and break your heart again 

Leave it all behind and let the healing begin 

 

You won't look at me and I won't look at you 

There's no communication, I guess we're through 

It comes as no surprise, typical human race 

Talkin' shit behind our backs but never face to face 

 

We could move forward with just a little talk 

But we've got too much pride so off the plank we walk 

I won't look at you and you won't look at me 

The joke's on us four eyes can't see 

 

We could push it back and forth and find someone to blame 

As if admitting we were wrong would bring us to shame 

I could hang the rope and you could tie the noose 

I guess we just love the abuse 

 

Your feelings are hurt and mine are hurting too 

If we don't get past the anger, what the fuck are we gonna do?

I love you but I love me too 

I won't sit and wait to be screwed"
