RL Update

Still no job.

I have missed out on two science-adjacent jobs for being too enthusiastic about science, two industrial jobs for not having enough [industrial experience] and two academic jobs for I know not why, you expect academics to give you reasons?!

I am, to put it lightly, miffed.

It's like, I've deliberately gone for the entry level industrial jobs because I know I don't have industrial experience, jobs that don't ask for experience.

The science-adjacent jobs have gone with "you love science so much we're worried you'll hate the job" and they might have a point but a girl's got to eat, you know. (Don't worry, I have enough money for food and lodgings, the same quirk of the mind that makes me hoard things makes me hoard money.)

It's all just very frustrating!
