News From The Job Front
If you don’t know me in real life, I’ve been looking for a job for about a year. I could definitely ramble for a while about the difficulties of the current market, the cesspool that is LinkedIn, the never-ending culture war on whether or not AI has made everyone instantly obsolete, etc etc. But today I’m going to bring some of the real text in job listings that I’ve come across.
Starting with…
At 0x, our mission is to "Create a Tokenized World Where All Forms of Value Can Flow Freely".
I don’t know what this means. This sentence means nothing. If you saw the mismash of words resembling a statement in English and thought it must be a crypto company, well, you’re correct.
There was no context here. This followed an otherwise normal set of technical requirements. The company name was not goat themed. Was the absurdity supposed to get me to click? Do they just really really like goats? I didn’t apply so we’re not going to find out.
At Eight Sleep, we embody Kobe Bryant’s mamba mentality: we always aim to be at the top 1% of what we do
If you’re looking for a 9-5, this is not for you
Our employees report working up to 60 hours per week
Okay, I’m going to not launch into a rant about grindset culture and the problems it causes in society and instead focus on the fact that they’re referencing Kobe Bryant? They’re referencing Kobe Bryant in what might be your first interaction with this company. I guess it is unique.
🛥 Time To Boat
Did you know that it’s super easy to get a boating license? Like, not quite as easy as getting ordained to perform marriages but I didn’t have a boating license this morning, and this evening I do.
Granted, it’s not really a license, it’s a “Boater Education Card” but it’s all you need to operate a recreational boat over 15HP in Washington State. I didn’t need to steer a boat, dock a boat, or touch a boat, but I’m now legally allowed to drive boats. So watch out on the waterways!
What I’m Watching
Finished up the most recent season of Quarterback on Netflix this week. It’s interesting to get a peak behind the curtain at some of the NFL stars private lives. This season is nice because you don’t have to watch Patrick Mahomes be the ultimate Super Bowl winning hypebeast, and you also get to watch Joe Burrow be whatever he thinks a fashion icon is. Kirk Cousins returns as the ultimate dork, which is oddly endearing to watch.
That’s All… For Now…
