    Appreciate the sentiment,

    If anyone has any kind of work open I just need to start paying bills by mid Feb. I think I've got enough to make 2 more mortgage payments. Depending on life

    I’m getting up in years but my better half and I have kids who are trying to get by. I tell my friends how the world has turned, how employers don’t respond, benefits are slashed if you do find work, and one bad day can get you laid off. They simply don’t understand.

    One kiddo got to fourth interview with a major software company. Spent 12 hours over two days (unpaid) in the last interview doing role play and problem solving. Got a rejection letter 2 weeks later simply saying the position was no longer available. Although I understand a company trying to protect from litigation, this is utter crap. Explain why the rejection so maybe a person can learn from the experience.

    To top it off, laws and regulations are making it harder and harder to start a business. I’m not sure how this plays out (or maybe I have an idea, but the timeline is still tbd).

    the software interviews are pretty fuckin brutal these days. It really sucks that they didn't even give him helpful feedback after that much time.

    Also,

    If anyone has ESPN+ and Comcast they can try and watch ESPN+ through the Comcast box. For some reason I think I'm glitched and it works for me. If I try and use ESPN+ on it's own via smart TV, smartphone, computer etc it doesn't work. I have no idea why but it only works through the box. Some friends have tried this without success though

    Sounds like a good opportunity to start your own business and maybe break away from the bad.
