ALT TEXT: Younger person helping older person with a walker meme template with Emoji Cat on the older person.

Hey y’all I’m sorry but my car payment is due tomorrow, I still have insurance, I have to renew my registration next month, and rent is due. My monthly expenses not including food are 800 dollars. We’ve been able to hold off on paying for the power because they can’t turn it off in the winter, but that won’t last. I’ve been going to interviews, taking phone calls and doing cam work most nights, but I can’t make ends meet alone. Please, I need help. https://twitter.com/madokameowgica/status/1363489768965890057?s=21

After losing my job to covid last March I've had a hell of a time trying to find tech work. I gave up for a bit and did some bike wrenching but it's not making ends meet so I'm back on the job lookin train.

I have 18 years experience, mostly in systems administration, mostly in windows, but my experience is really all over the place. I've worked for government, university, fortune 100, small firms, consulting, data analysis, information security, kind of a Jane of All Trades. I have an associates degree and a bachelor's degree, and nine certifications that are still mostly relevant, one of which is the MCITP.

What I'm most proud of is my ability to figure stuff out. I'm real clever. I'm also able to communicate with non technical staff as well as super nerds.

So what's up, fediverse. You got any jobs?
