I’m on our HOA board and our president wants to do a rewrite of our bylaws, getting rid of a lot of unnecessary crap from the original construction period, adding a few minor things, etc.

The dude is a 24/7 Fox News watching boomer but I got him to accept my edits of his draft to change any he/she reference to they/them to be more inclusive. Not gonna have gendered poo poo on my watch if I can help it.

Tech bro culture is the worst

My "final interview" with a company I'm applying at is, what they call, the "Beer Test"

Basically a get to know you with the team sort of virtual meeting? But. They call it the "Beer Test" and assure me I don't have to "drink beer" during the beer test.

Yeah. I'm nervous but it otherwise sounds like a great job. I do appreciate getting to meet people before accepting an offer though. Just... Beer test? Really?

Sounds too straight for my gay rear end. Give me a weed test instead.

Just got misgendered twice in the same interview after telling the interviewer I'm more interested in being treated like a person and then the tech stack I write code in.

So that's how my day is going.

"Beer Test" turned out to be extremely gay

And I mean that as a great thing. It was a great culture check and I really hope I get a job offer tomorrow.

One of the interviewers was a trans woman embedded software engineer and that is badass as hell.

Beer Test turned into a REALLY GOOD job offer :10bux: Between being paid out my vacation time, the severance package I reluctantly signed, and getting a offer within 3 weeks I think I'm ending up slightly ahead. Plus the new job pays more than the old job!

I'm so excited. Basically the best news I could have gotten today.

Now I just have to decide what to do about the remaining interviews I have lined up, and a possible second offer from another company. Feels good though.

I'm neither gay nor trans!

... but I'm definitely not straight or cis.

As a result my life is very confusing and complicated. And much as I find it exhausting, I never laugh as hard as when everything's in the air and nobody at all is able to understand what's happening beyond "this is pretty dumb". My gender identity is "JRPG villain" according to quite a few people.
