gave myself a rest from high sec. decided to return but i was bored and wanted some fleet action. tried to join brave, it looked fun at first but it didnt seem like i was doing anything, there was also a lot of people on system so i think i wouldnt have been able to farm.

dropped out of that and just went back to init. i also discovered the arbitrator can be a reliable ratting platform, if a bit slow on ticks. regardless, it will take a long time to get back into omega, but at least im dont feel the pressure of having to get plex quickly.

long therm goal should be about getting on an Archon, but since i've never used a carrier, an Armageddon may be a much better option.

Job opportunity turned out to be a flop. I suspected something was wrong when I was informed on day three, not one but three, that the orientation and training was unpaid, because they were "teaching us a valuable skill." (Hint: their sales techniques and demo make use of only simple strategies you could learn from YouTube videos or psych/business 101. Its not exactly valuable) I was going to ignore that because the actual pay rate is supposed to be pretty good.
So this weekend was supposed to be a paid extension of that training, where I actually perform the job, doing demos for and selling the product (Kirby vacuum cleaners... Yeah I was desperate) for friends and family, and getting compensated in return. I come back to the office after finishing my demos tonight and talk to the boss, he tells me I didn't call him at the right time for demo #2 there so it didn't count. Like I might as well have been sitting on my ass drinking beer for all it mattered. Because I have to complete three "valid" demos for the training period, and I only did "two" I don't get paid. At all. Like the others don't matter either.

I'm not going back, and I made that clear. And then he tried to throw a twenty at me like that was sufficient to make up for wasting my time and money for six days straight just to pull this crap.
