Can't believe I'm struggling with the concept of mortality again. Was meant to be over this by now! Very disappointed.

i've applied for 80+ developer jobs this year, Seek tells me over 200 other people were applying for each, and i have had 5 interviews, which were apparently all "near misses"

then i applied for a couple of jobs as a legal/courtroom transcriptionist, and got the first one!
