“Hey man. You ok?” Me:

It has been so fun getting better and better! #woodcarving #woodburning

Even MOAR art pieces! Playing with bookmarks as well!

Oh Hey! The world is burning around us, so I have been burning more wood! (hehehehe) Check out some more pieces! Most are for sale. 😘

ICE = Evil. No excuses. No forgiveness. You cast your lot with monsters. I have no sympathy.

Nothing like re-reading the "thank you" note you sent to a recruiter (after 4 levels of interviews) and realizing you misspelled the name of one of the hiring managers.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Sweet Jeebus. Let’s call that year a mulligan.

And Merry Christmas, gamedevs ❤️

No.

All I want for Christmas is a job offer.

You don’t have to change the world. It’s enough to do one thing well, and work towards doing it better each day.

I have been exploring bas relief carving and wood burning for the last 6 months, and it has been wonderful. Most shockingly, I have sold multiple pieces!

Still have a bunch of work to do, but I think this is turning out pretty good!

The ability to stab counts as “stability”, right?

“I don’t want to be forced to design a new ship. I want to sail a well built ship expertly.” -Me in every interview where they talk about “getting to build your own role”

A few more in progress and preliminary sketches for this current carving fascination:

Various carving and woodcarving projects I have been working on. Some for sale, some as a gift for my @hikemonster.bsky.social

Listen. This person is the most straight-up, hardcore, uncompromising fan of the pure core of the characters and films they review. When Amelia says that she doesn’t have a single complaint? You take it to the bank. Period.

“Ok, Americans! Everyone count to ten on your hands!” The 4th of July: “Not so fast”

Continuing with my carving hyper-fixation. A jaunty little cephalopod!

PT let me get on a bike for the first time since my surgery. Only got 10 minutes, but it made me SO happy.🤘🚴‍♂️

Our custom picnic table finally broke this winter, so I have been working on re-creating the art we had carved on the corners of the table. 🐙🌲🐋🍆

No Kings.

Am I STILL looking for a job? Yup. 🫠

6 days out from hip surgery, and I can move well with a walker, and roughly without. I’m totally still a fall risk, and walking about 20 minutes is completely draining. But the difference in pain is just amazing!

Yall. We as adults have been SLEEPING on those grabby sticks that granny is supposed to get stuff off the top shelf with. These things are AMAZING!

New hip: Installed Drugs: on board Bed: In it I’m hitting the sack, folks. Thank you all for the warm wishes, and when the robot uprising finally come, my brothers, sisters and I will look upon you favorably.

13 hours. *cues 6 million dollar man” theme*

The Abyss is such a good movie.

I am 7 days out from a big surgery. I’m swinging back and forth from freaked out, to being incredibly excited to become a cyborg.

Hell of a day when my highlight was telling my therapist that I had the #Oblivion remaster downloading on another screen, and he asked for a minute to get his download started for after work.

If I have ever downplayed anyone’s chronic pain in the past, I am sorry. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

Just because I'm a hypocrite, doesn’t mean I'm WRONG

I have never had to do an "elevator pitch" for myself with multiple other candidates IN THE ROOM for a job before. This ought to be fun! Cattle call audition, here we come!

After careful consideration, I would very much like to become a cyborg.

I am not OLD enough to have hip issues! 😤 I would like to speak to a manager.

Don't mind me. I'm just waiting and stressing.

So like, we all saw how blatant that was, right? RIGHT?

The humans in our house are ill, so here are two snoots in a blanket

Did my best. Felt like I presented my value. I hope they feel the same. All that’s left now is “the waiting”…

Halfway through a long day of talking. Good Vibes encouraged. #Interview

My first Cortizone injection. I am now officially old?

2025? Come at me.

The fun thing about taking a break from alcohol is how much of a cheap date you become. *says this while sipping on a G&T while playing Fallout*

All pleasures are guilty pleasures if you have high enough anxiety

Listen. Alcohol and Indian food help delay feeling of canine mortality. I will be taking no questions.

Getting stoned & reading up on symptoms & cost of treatment of liver failure in dogs while watching my sweet baby angel in a drug-induced sleep. 2024 can eat a bag of dicks.
