Being excited about buying a nice cooler to go camping with

I had not thought of the w2 vs 1099 thing but I will bring that up to them.

Hands down the experience in that environment is what’s attracting me the most of everything other than the pay raise.

Yeah the recruiter mis communicated it. But the company itself brought it up first thing in the interview before. I actually interviewed last month but was scared of the contract . Now they reached out to me again and I figured I’d at least take th interview as practice.

After thinking and looking at my finances I could prolly be safe if the contract ends quickly.

I’ve been looking into forming a team with my friend who is also in IT. While they may not go on a resume, I was considering putting them on a personal portfolio website.

How’d you get into IT? I feel like my path into computer work has been a bit unorthodox. I have a political science degree but no college experience with cs just otj experience. It feels like having my background definitely helps on the soft skills just may be a bit of hindrance compared to those with cs degrees.

Yeah that’s kind of what I have been doing, I have been trying to do things focused on networking and trying to understand cinema servers since many use a form of Linux. Though Microsoft skills always seem to be some of the most popular

As someone who used to be high all the time. I know what worked for me a lot was trying to focus on the best I can do in a given day.

I got into exercise and tried enjoying everyday as if I could be happy with dying that day. I really do try my best to not think about all the crazy things going on just because I realized I can’t help as much. But I do my best to help with things locally. One simple that helped me financially as well as climate related was switching to eating less red meat. Even though some may say it’s not enough as I didn’t go vegan, it still helps reduce some of my carbon output. With the idea of helping where you can and not stressing about what you can’t do, life becomes a lot easier and less stressful while actually making impact.

Do you have anything particular you want to do outside of just being high to feel better? Once I realized how much I like computers and tech, smoking less became easier
