| 19:03.35 | jima | 114000 S is reeeaaally far south. |
| 19:05.52 | spangborn | 8500 W is really far west too |
| 19:05.58 | spangborn | Nobody lives out there |
| 19:06.27 | spangborn | Except for maybe snakes |
| 19:19.47 | aeryndunham | ugh so I find myself in desperate need of a dang job again |
| 19:19.50 | aeryndunham | I hate job searching |
| 19:24.21 | Migs | It sucks |
| 19:24.32 | Migs | I've been casually looking since November |
| 19:26.00 | aeryndunham | I don't regret quitting a job that was making me miserable, but still |
| 19:26.15 | aeryndunham | everything just looks so unappealing and I hate losing all my free time |
| 19:27.51 | spangborn | 0,0 |
| 19:28.07 | spangborn | Oh that was nice |
| 19:28.10 | spangborn | Thank you IRC client |
| 19:29.42 | aeryndunham | hah |
| 19:29.46 | Migs | life's too short to be in a job you hate |
| 19:29.54 | aeryndunham | yup |
| 19:30.09 | aeryndunham | But unfortunately society wants me to have an income of some kind |
| 19:30.40 | Migs | that's not unfortunate...but earning an income doesn't have to be a miserable chore |
| 19:31.11 | Migs | most jobs I see posted sound dreadfully boring |
| 19:31.38 | Migs | I used to work in defense contracting, and I don't think there's any way I could do that again |
| 19:31.59 | Migs | I need something that actually keeps my interest piqued every day |
| 19:32.39 | aeryndunham | Yeah, I just want to do something that doesn't make me miserable and I'd really love to be in an environment where I'm not stuck in an office 9-10 hours a day |
| 19:33.30 | Migs | I think at this point I could only work remotely if I were to shift to something new |
| 19:33.42 | Migs | I'd probably need flexible hours, too |
| 19:34.23 | aeryndunham | I'm thinking of applying for a remote technical writer position |
| 19:34.30 | aeryndunham | I won't get it, but I mean it can't hurt |
| 19:53.53 | goozbach | aeryndunham: what kinda work you lookign for? |
| 19:54.52 | aeryndunham | ugh if I only knew that'd make it easier |
| 19:56.27 | goozbach | what do you want to do? |
| 19:56.32 | goozbach | technical writer? |
| 19:56.42 | aeryndunham | that's just something I have done a little of |
| 19:57.00 | aeryndunham | I have a lack of focused ambition, which is for sure among my problems |
| 19:57.43 | spangborn | I want whatever job lets me ride bikes whenever I feel like it |
| 20:14.33 | romanovic | aeryndunham: have you considered software QA? get to be on a developer team, without having to develop application code |
| 20:14.44 | aeryndunham | That's what I was kind of doing at my last job |
| 20:14.45 | romanovic | just be good at breaking things that programmers do |
| 20:14.51 | aeryndunham | I worked with crazy people, which is why I quit |
| 20:17.28 | aeryndunham | Mostly I just have this issue where I can't imagine anything being worth being stuck in an office all day |
| 20:17.38 | aeryndunham | which I obviously need to get over |
| 20:17.55 | romanovic | bicycle tour guide? |
| 20:18.01 | goozbach | park ranger |
| 20:18.07 | goozbach | dog walker |
| 20:18.21 | romanovic | looks out the window, daydreams of being out biking |
| 20:31.04 | spangborn | Iâm going to blow off work in a few hours and go ride Emigration |
| 20:36.13 | frostyfrog | Riding south for the summer? |
| 20:40.25 | frostyfrog | aeryndunham: That doesn't sound like much fun :( |

| 21:08.58 | TodPunk_ | aeryndunham: you don't need to be stuck in an office all day, but you will get paid much less and you have to be good at interacting with others. |

| 21:38.53 | TodPunk_ | I think a junior dev position at a smaller shop could fit that |
| 21:39.11 | TodPunk_ | A guy here doesn't come in until like 1, and it's a low stress programming job |
| 21:41.41 | frostyfrog | "low stress programming job" gee, how'd that be? |
| 21:41.56 | TodPunk_ | It's been good for like 3.5 years |
| 21:42.49 | frostyfrog | :( Nice |
| 21:43.36 | TodPunk | It pays less, so that kind of factors into the balance. |
| 21:45.35 | frostyfrog | eeeh, fair enough. |
| 21:45.45 | jsmith | aeryndunham: I'm not sure what your experience with WordPress is, but I heard that wpsitecare.com is hiring remote folks |

| 21:57.30 | aeryndunham | I've got some wordpress experience; to the point where I was considering actually applying for a job with Automattic (company behind WP) but nothing posted now seemed like a fit |

| 22:13.02 | josephscott | ? |
| 22:13.33 | josephscott | we've got several people in Utah who work for Automattic now :-) |
| 22:14.01 | josephscott | wpsitecare is based here in Utah, but they do remote work as well ( at least last time I talked with them ) |

| 22:28.55 | aeryndunham | no job info on wpsitecare |
| 22:30.50 | aeryndunham | hmm there actually is one job at automattic right now I could apply for |
| 22:32.58 | aeryndunham | feels like she should have a site actually running on WP before she applies at Automattic though :p |
| 22:33.15 | aeryndunham | I used to, but I changed it to Ghost because I didn't need the 12376523671235 WP does |
