What happened to my staying power? (A Mini Rant)


I'm not one to consider myself blessed with an abundance of endurance or stamina (for which I blame my ADHD). What little I do have seems horribly diminished. Perhaps shockingly, I'm ready to throw in the towel before I've even found a job to keep me farming fiat. Urgh. I've only been at it for a little over half day this week (at time of writing), but searching for work on various job posting board Websites already blows chunks. Life would be so much easier if I could make a living as an author and/or musician, but no, I've got to find something more pedestrian, farming fiat ... (It's the same old story as it has been for a number of years now.)

I know I've got to carry on with the boring search in the hope of finding something, but the repetitive scrolling and filling in application forms is turning my brain to mush. There's a reason I avoid doing it for as long as I can. I feel the need for coffee and chocolate to get me through (and I'm all out of chocolate). I'd rather be learning about blockchain development or doing something fun, like making more music.

In the vain and possibly pointless hope that somebody here feels inclined to support my admittedly limited artistic efforts beyond Pub0x, I've left links for them in the "Resources" section.

Great White Snark
Great White Snark

I'm currently seeking fixed employment as a S/W & Web developer (C# & ASP .NET MVC, PHP 8+, Python 3), hoping to stash the farmed fiat and go full Crypto, quit the 07:30-18:00 grind. Unsigned music producer; snarky; white; balding; smashes Patriarchy.

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!
