if you hated the job and needed to do something different i say enjoy a little time off and shake that poo poo off, but if it was office work start hitting up temp agencies and placement firms.


so that is the tricky spot im in....this was your typical small business nightmare, in a semi-skilled trade. dude hired me on-the-spot right before i turned 21 and i was a laboring grunt until i went back to school the end of that summer. turns out his "company" was him, one "foreman" and now me. i learned really quick he was allergic to his own job sites but didn't really give a gently caress, just a college summer job. me and the other guy died every day for 12 hours and sometimes you'd see the "owner." as off as i thought this was, im first gen college student, i had to stick around that summer because it was back to rural misery if I didnt have a job in the city.

then the owner bumped me up to like $15.00/hr and had me take over his office. he had no clue what to do. i ended up being pretty drat good at that. 5 years passed and the company had tripled in sales, about 8 people employed, good stuff. i still wasn't making $20.00/hr because no strictly office people in that biz make that - and strictly office is what i had become. and then in the past year and a half I started to truly realize he was allergic to the "white collar" side of his little business TOO. so basically a ton of the anxiety and stress of being a "small business owner" was just getting downloaded into my brain. to try and fight this i streamlined everything that was ~strictly office work~ into exactly a 32 hour work week. one week a month i'd work overtime and get ahead. he didn't like this, tensions arose, things melted down when he sent another employee to bang on my door at 7am one morning to "get to work." his first "favor" was to hire me. his second "favor" was having me make his office. he was out of favors to keep me around after that poo poo.

so basically my resume is just a big fuckin' list of all the stuff i did building this company. but im no business major, no accounting major, and im in a dipshit midwest city anyway, so its weird times for me.

good job

ive been working for the same small biz i was hired out of grad school back in 2013. but i also get a way with a ton of poo poo and paid decently so whatever, although i really dont want to live in america forever so i keep telling myself one of these days im going to move to an earthquake-prone country with geotech hazards like new zealand or something and gtfo but it's not easy to get an overseas job

the time sure as gently caress does fly once you're out of college, god drat. its hard to believe id held the same job for 8 years now.

the fact im almost half a trump old is hosed upo imo

im actually not stressed about getting midlife or whatever (hell i basically am midlife since i doubt i'm gunna make it to 70), whatever, poo poo happens i didn't even ask to live in hellworld. it's more just depressing how little progress or lack feeling of... satisfaction?/fullfilment?/progres? that ive had to date with no real light in the distance ahead to lust after. It probably would have been nice to live in a timeline where everything wasn't so alienated and i could take more pride in poo poo with a community i care about but i do not and housing is out of reach and everything sucks.

that's true, basmati is pro-tier. however, you cannot make mango sticky rice with basmati. you need a sweet gellatinous rice for that. i've gotten reasonably good at making mango sticky rice with a steamer basket for my instantpot.

also you can't make innari with basmati

Hmmm, okay glutinous rice may have some niche utility basmati does not BUT as rice itself, still clearly inferior

honestly ive never really found a use-case for a dedicated rice cooker; i had a cheap zoji back in college and i didnt find it helped. most of my basmati rice gets cooked in a stovetop pot (and ive perfected the method, a little capful of rice wine vinegar to cut the starch to keep it fluffy, small bit of butter, a dash of salt, and cumin seeds; and then cover with tin foil with a lid ontop because just a lid alone doesnt have a good seal). brown rice i do the method of overfill with water and then drain method.

i have an instantpot w/ steamer basket if i need to do steamed rice or sometimes brown/black rice.

alton brown may be a chud but he's right about unitaskers. unitaskers are the sole domain of mush-brained mcmansion boomers with far too much money, space, and senses. although i will fight him on a garlic press

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

Something strikingly similar happened to me until I had a kid. Then I realized that working 6 days a week making chump change on a dead end job running someone else's business while trying to be be a father and a partner was going to leave me an unrecognizable husk of a man pretty drat quick so I did like you and sent in a gently caress you and bailed.

It was terrifying but ultimately the best decision I ever made. The good news is you have probably gained a lot of marketable skills and while it can be intimidating to try to put it all on a resume at the end of the day game recognizes game. If you have your poo poo together and are a decent human being then decent employers will recognize that. The job market honestly isn't all that bad in many areas (compared to 2008) and a lot of companies are freeing up opex that they had been sitting on all of 2020 when covid hiring freezes went into place.
