I am sure this was a fishing scam of some sort. It came from my phone number in a completely different state, and when I did a reverse search on a pretty decent free site nothing came up.

That in itself doesn’t indicate it’s a scam, it was the “god willing” part that made me think it was a scam. Who sends something like that to a potential future employer??

I used to reply to stuff like this to tell them wrong number, but I’m not falling for this one. If God is real he can tell them they have the wrong number, or I guess the job was not meant for them. Oh well.

I wanted to reply “Of course, Hail #Satan!” but I’m pretty sure it’s a scam so I didn’t dare.

Sleepy Sunday

I got a decent night’s sleep last night. Why am I super tired today? I haven’t done anything unusual. I did my daily exercise BS and I’ve done a few errands around the house, but that’s all. Why am I exhausted? Is it because I am just old? Could be.

Someone on Threads asked for musical people to share some music. 99.999% of the time I ignore engagement bait posts like that but today I shared a song… and I think I accidentally shared an album. Oh well. I guess being super tired puts me into a kind of musical glutton for punishment mode. I just don’t know if the punishment I expect is in the form of bad criticisms or just the chirping of crickets as the universe ignores my shitty songs. Probably the latter. Oh well.

Did I mention that it was snowing a few minutes ago? It was just a tiny flurry but it fits the mood of the day. The mood being, Blah.

I wonder if a few seconds after publishing this post I am going to get a long comment from a user whose name and photo imply that they are female while the long comment is something that is most probably written by some sort of AI program. It’s happened on the last few posts I’ve published that had more than just a sentence or two of text. You know, something that ChatGPT could sink its virtual teeth into. We’ll see in a minute. Maybe writing about it will let them know that I am on to them and they’ll lay off. Doubtful.

Oh look at that, I just got a text from bank of america saying that my account has been disabled due to suspicious activity. I had better call them and give them all of my personal information, even though I don’t have a fucking account with fucking bank of america. Oh well.

Not to brag too much but I have been awarded $500,000 from the $1.8 billion dollar Powerball winner. They texted me to say they want to share their wealth with me.

I replied by telling them I was going down for 20 years on a murder charge so this money would buy me lots of snacks at the canteen. And that I was looking to build a future with them when I got out.

They seem to have ghosted me now.

Ugh... Just got a dodgy "Job opportunity" text from some spammer. I immediately reported and blocked the number. I'm glad to see that the report will go to Google.

Don't fall for stuff like that. Don't even respond with 'not interested', they'll know that your number is active and at the very least sell it on.

How the hell would a recruiter have gotten your mobile number? And know your skills so they could tell you of a relevant opportunity. Nope. Dodgy as hell. Block 'em.
