Oh no I accidentally networked at a thing for a former coworker. And now the formed VP of engineering at my old job is after my resume. And I’m like no please but also would take a paycheck.

No shade on traveling to Iceland because it’s a lovely place to visit and I would go again… but I just saw a video about going there for the eclipse and how it was cloudy… and who could have possibly predicted that a country known for WEATHER might be cloudy for a Sky Viewing Event?!

Also old username was getting emails from rando recruiters despite said email address not being listed on anything related to hiring for me. So clearly that name is searchable with my real name (I assumed it was, but got confirmation.) So hey, new username who dis.

Yesterday, at friend’s birthday, I asked her husband if he knew of any places in need of a cloud wizard and he was like “yes actually my company is about to create a cloud wizard position” and this is the most hopeful I’ve been in a bit.

Wow, drunk people are so idiotic. Leaving downtown, I watched multiple people just SAUNTER across the street when an ambulance was driving towards them at an intersection. Did they have a walk sign? Technically, yes. But that’s not how that works.

Oof. Talked with a recruiter today about a position that’s… um… attractive in that it’s a job with benefits, but I need to research the company a lot. It would save me some time if said company snoops on me enough to find out that this is my Bluesky account and finds this post to be a red flag.

Not that I had a huge amount of conviction on the matter, as my misgivings were very “idk Kaohly Her seems kinda nimby”, but I’m definitely feeling glad that I voted for Melvin Carter for Mayor rn. St. Paul would prefer to be boring again.

So my resume has been getting blasted out all over the place. What do you do if you get a probable call from a recruiter and they are supremely bad at having a phone conversation? They didn’t introduce themselves at all. Just a bunch of exchanges of “hello?” immediately after I got an email.

Had a lovely dinner at eM Que Viet and… why have we never been before?! State Fair (they have them at the fair) Garlic Cream Cheese Wontons, and a ton of vegetarian stuff. They use vegan fish sauce in their vegetarian-oriented rice noodle salads. Great cocktails, including a happy hour special.
