Hi folks! This is tough to post. I was laid off just shy of 18 wks ago. The lack of movement on that front is bad. 0 response to scores of CVs sent & only 3 sets of interviews, those being direct referrals. Looking for things in anti-fraud #TrustAndSafety space, as well as what I have always done well- deep customer support, things I've done for 25ish years. LinkedIn below, if you have direct leads you can refer me to, I would be so grateful.

My poor Beanie baby had hives today. This was after her day at the spa… I mean vet. Her welts are still slightly visible. Knowing the provenance of dog allergies is harder to discover than knowing the mysteries surrounding the origin of the Sphinx.

Courtesy reminder. If moving to a different state, resist the urge to move your flat pack furniture. Just give that stuff away or it’ll be back to sawdust by the time your moving van has arrived at your destination.

Just now:

Guy rolls up on a Segway, big bright smile. “Happy Memorial Day!”

Me: “But it’s not a happy Memorial Day.”

His face falls.

Me: “Today is a day to remember the dead.”

His demeanor changes, “Of course, you’re right. Thank you. Anyway, we’re out in the neighborhood telling people about our extermination services..” points at house “like your neighbor…”

Me: “No thanks.”

he rolls away

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

And there it is, the contractor canceled. And I tented the work area outside.

The timing of this storm could not be worse for us. #pdxtst

FatCat & SkinnyCat, 1995, in my Vancouver Washington duplex rental. I got them as kittens in San Jose, 1986. Lost SkinnyCat to lymphoma cancer, 1999, 13 years; FatCat in 2004 at 18 years. Rare female orange tabbies, they are usually male. I can trace the lineage of my pets who knew each other back to these two, there was never a break of no pets. Simba was the link from FatCat (who I got in 2001) all the way to Beanie, current dog- I lost Simba in 2021.

This goblin is helping me drive him to his doctor appointment. (Try and convince me this is not a tiny wookie.)

c'mon Apple, just wipe out forum posts if they go back more than say 5 years, stop letting solutions for problems on Mavericks or god forbid the Snow Leopard era from bubbling up in search results.

Look at the sneaky blackberry, who knows very well they aren’t allowed in my yard pretending to be a lilac like I wouldn’t notice. You’re outta here, prick(ly plant). #gardening

Bless the Northwest and it's abundant rain that provides nourishment to the farms in our area that feed the people and to the rivers that provide a place for fish to transit to and from the ocean... but honestly, I'm ready to head out. The SAD is just too much for me. 😔

I seriously don't know what to do with all these data breach letters I get. I'm kinda giving up.

Heard Oscar crying. I come see and he’s too afraid to go by Peanut. Finally he does and I walk away. Hear him crying even more. Beanie is at the top of the stairs preventing him from getting to the top; bullying him and snarls and snaps at him as he tries to go past. #DogsOfMastodon #CatsOfMastodon

Vancouver waterfront is POPPIN #pdxtst

Outdoor urban scene with people walking along a waterfront promenade, restaurants with outdoor seating, modern buildings, and a view of a bridge in the distance under a clear blue sky.
A modern pedestrian bridge with a tall mast and cables over a river, with people walking and enjoying the view on a sunny day.
