Struck out again.
Passed up again in an interview for an open position.
Evidently I make for a good 'candidate' to add some credibility and authenticity to the exercise of hiring/promoting someone else.
When am I ever going to learn - it's a club and I am not wanted.

Hmm interesting thing from TASCAM.
I always liked the workflow in using a TASCAM multi-track recorder (my 4-track is in my garage, and if I had any usable tape cassettes, I'd give it a whirl).
As well, I really despise recording to a computer - everything just sounds very flat.
Now there's this -> https://tascam.com/us/product/sonicview_xp/top
Sigh - if only I could be a musician all day.
I guess my employer doesn't really want me back in the office that much.
We've been told - show up 3 days a week or get fired.
And yet - they won't pay for noise-cancelling headphones.

Someday I'll do a more in-depth video about all the shenanagins going on at work.
It's very passive-aggressive to say the least.
On the one hand, the management acts a nothing more than pass-through to allow for the whims of a billionaire to throw their power tantrum and squeeze more obedience and subservience out of the employee majority.
On the other hand, they know many employees are applying for and interviewing for openings all over the place (despite all the reported layoffs and firings), so they thing bumping up salaries is the way to retain people.
That may work for some (and certainly more money helps one manage one's responsibilities to one's family more), but in terms of accountability, there are many things a company can do to do right by people.
You know things like actually reward them for accomplishments by actually saying so amongst one's peers.
Actually giving people budgets and teams to train.
Showing actual respect for people by - you know - listening to their input, and responding constructively to the feedback.
Yeah - I know ... in a capitalist system?

Seeing NHL games on TV is unwatchable.
Too many fucking ads. It's completely out of control.
Recently, I saw a game where a player we injured and lying on the ice. Eventually he was helped up and the arena audience cheered.
Then an announcer on the broadcast announced, 'This moment of concern, was brought to you by so-and-so brewery.'
That ... was ... really gross and tasteless.

How kayfabe democracy (i.e. capitalism) really makes propaganda work to benefit the ruling class.
Remember this always - the goal behind capitalism is endless profit. One of the key ways the ruling class accomplishes this is by keeping the working class majority divided and distrustful of itself by any and every means possible.
- Take two right-wing/conservative points of view.
- Call one 'right' and one 'centrist'.
- Play them off each other as if they are diametrically opposed to each other (instead of what they really are; which is they complement each other).
- And twist any genuine vernacular and turn it into a cultural pejorative in order to de-legitimize it amongst the working class majority.
All are on display here -> https://fair.org/home/as-right-media-hail-desantis-as-woke-killer-centrists-admire-his-brand/

This can't be good - when your manager admits your singer lip-syncs?
I shouldn't judge too harshly - who knows what I'll be doing in a few years!
Wow - talk about virtue signaling and uselessness all in one.
Normally I don't like to draw attention to shit like this (as drawing attention is the point).
But a screenshot - that'll work for my purposes-
Wow - can corporations make people feel even more pathetic?
