This is a bit off topic but I want the board room to know one of the largest YouTubers ever “PewDiePie” put out a video this week about how much he hates Google and has been self hosting his passwords, using Linux, and transitioning to graphineOS for his phone. The conversation of openness and decentralization is growing rapidly.

Going live soon to discuss my wild week
I was fired from my pool cleaning job because I used AI. The company gave me zero materials to go over chemicals, their use cases or proper levels. Everything was conversational. I chose to use chatGPT to help me make tables of proper chemical use and amounts for balancing the pools chemistry. My trainer didn’t like that and we got into a big argument about how I “already knew what I was typing” when I actually have zero experience with chemicals. I defended myself and how I was using the tool to learn more visually and allow myself to memorize why I would use certain chemicals. The whole day was awkward with the trainer, I thought we ended the day reconciled and as adults, I was willing to do things his way. An hour after I clocked out I got a call from the errand boy manager and he informed me that my trainer said I’m “not good at following directions” and me working there was not a good fit. I’m sharing this because I’ve been open on my podcast about being the best version of myself and seeking a better job post my dad dying. I honored the promise I made him to not quitting my kitchen job until I had a new job lined up. I honored the process and worked my best in the final two weeks. I was open to learning and doing my best at the new job but clearly I was in the wrong room. I’m putting it out in the universe and trusting God that a more abundant opportunity will come. I reached out to the kitchen to get my old job back but no response yet. X and Nostr seem to be the only places I feel comfortable expressing this. I’m a creative individual, I make podcasts weekly, I edit videos for a couple clients right now showcasing tutorials on their websites. I’m not afraid of manual labor, and I have a big dream/goal of making a feature length movie. I’m seeking to connect with more people who can help me in this situation. I just want to be able to pay my bills and work on fun/fulfilling projects. Crazy times. Reply or dm if you think I might be a good fit on your team. God bless ❤️
No podcast this week. I’m tired and I need to prepare for my next adventure.
Today I honor my father by working my last shift at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse which has been my job within what I would say the rock bottom of my life. I start a new full time job tomorrow, I seek to build myself and feel grateful for going through this process since my dad died.
