I got fired from my last job before I made this account. I actually ran out of unemployment money and can’t get more until the end of this year because it’s Texas. There are no jobs here and the last 3 remote jobs I applied for all said fuck no even though I was at least qualified, it not overqualified.

Funny enough, I was telling someone that I’m probably giving up on looking for jobs and gonna start this freelance web dev thing and they had the fucking audacity to suggest I still apply… I’ve applied for something like 900 god damn jobs since I was fired. I’ve applied for one job 3 separate times since it keeps coming back up. Shit ass company and the owner was a dick so yeah, but still.

Hope you get something. I’d rather not have any other people’s employment prospects look as bleak as mine.

Cool shit: I’m getting ready to go on a vacation with my family to Colorado. I got my retro handheld ready to go and will be playing through some old Zelda games and maybe GBA era Metroids. Also gonna do a ton of reading and probably work on building a second AstroJS template I have in mind for web stuff. I’m still working on an over-engineered one meant to be used with Flowbite but I want to set one up with the lightweightness and SEO bullshit that Astro rocks at and have it work as a paid/free HTML template drop in solution. Basically you take any website template a customer wants, and stuff the header and footer into their files and then put the rest in the /pages folder, do some wiggling and in short time you will have a “generic” static site with all the nice stuff that AstroJS can use. It’s basically gonna be a template-template.
