One time I bought avocado dip and as I was bringing it inside it slid off all the other stuff it was on and the container cracked so I had to find another larger container to put it in so it wouldn't go bad

Man, I feel this. Kids don't go outside because we've made it a car hellscape. Adults don't go outside because it usually means spending money.

I got the network question one time in a job interview. Of course I don't have a network, I do my work and go home. I haven't made work my life and I hate that's the expectation

If you don't mind me asking, how did that come up in the interview?

But seriously, it makes all my efforts in life feel pointless because I didn't major in STEM and I'm not conventionally attractive, so no one wanted to be friends with me and no friends in this hellworld = unemployable.

I never heard back from that one. It was just a marketing job at a Coworking place so I didn't mind.

Work shit is hard. One thing that kind of helped me is finding a decent recruiter and getting some short term contracts.

I did some work in digital publishing for government departments. It's literally just copying and pasting content from word docs into websites. Show a recruiter you're computer literate and they can advocate for you to get tech adjacent roles like that
