ik its a useless thing to be hung up on but im still peeved that i was so close to getting a chill, close to home hybrid job, but got passed up for an internal hire (who, according to my friend that works there, doesn't even have the skills needed for the job...). and now the only interviews i'm getting lately are for places that have daily commutes of over an hour taking 3 busses or so are toxic that like 6 people are actively on medical leave
