@tas yeah, no worries.
I need to reinvent myself in some way or other. The "right way" (in my head) is to get myself so I'm not reliant on the whims of employers.
Unfortunately that is risky.
The safe way is to suck it up, put on the brown lipstick (corporate suite #6), and figure out what employers really want.
Unfortunately that makes me want to puke.
