It could be. Maybe next week. She's with her parents this week cause her maternal grandmother died. So we're both "living with our parents" and have " no personal space."

I'll have to wait until my dad's out of earshot cause the walls are thin here. 😂

WelllllllllllllllllllllLlLLlll I keep on getting “evicted/banished” from community’s for my way of speaking online….

Got fired from ford for “communication issues” over things I was saying about my role working in a plant. Was stolen from multiple times (off my car and stuff I brought into the office), ruined plenty of my clothes, didn’t get a raise while having significantly higher commuting expenses.

I also got ‘banished’ (lol I know but I’m also sad cuz i liked the youtuber ahhh) from this Pokémon go discord server for getting into a heated argument with someone over some channels purpose (it was titled ‘Pokémon go pvp battle bugs’ or something and I was talking about a different bug which upset this person and then some moderator was telling us to “stop the drama” and we kept on getting the last word in then we were put in a ‘timeout’ separate discord channels where the mod tried to get us to solve our issues— where i just said I wanted to be talked to more politely by this person who was telling me about posting in the wrong channel even though what I was talking about was relevant to pvp and was a bug… just not a bug exclusively in the “pvp section of the app”)

And then about a year ago I was on this project that the governor of my state called for help to build a Covid dashboard — where my university was contacted— then i was reached out to by a professor who referred me to the project. I said I knew software testing cause that’s what i did at Ford. The whole time I was on this project (3-4 months) I didn’t really know what I was doing. But we had daily standups that I kept on coming to. I didn’t say much and just scheduled the meetings. What I did do though was ask a lot of questions and instigate in this slack chat I was a part of. Then the professor said in a group channel that I was no longer a tester and that i now was a “product manager” and i got invited to different slack chats all over and had even more meetings. Then I kept on talking in different chats. Then I was asked to recruit for certain roles and I went to do that at my network at Ford. And… it was all honestly a very confusing time. Near the end of it the professor that was in charge of it said I could reach out to him for help with “communication issues” inferring that I ran into them a lot?? Idk — I’m so confused with what I’m doing in my “communication style” that gets me in so much trouble.

Tester to a pm would be a promotion if it was for a job that actually paid. This was for a “volunteer” role I was voluntold for by a former professor. In the role that actually paid my bills — Ford— I didn’t get “promoted” from a tester to a PM there.

I actually kinda did the opposite lol. I came into the company as a PM 2 years ago but my day to day duties was testing. Then I went from being a faux-tester, to an “software engineer”, and then I was told to be an “IT engineer” in a plant for a year…..
And I’ve learned after being in the plant and talking to others that working in a plant is the worst place to be in the company for future growth… I tried to get out of the plant role and when I did that I upset my boss cuz he didn’t understand why I didn’t want to work under him/in a plant and got fired.

I’ve thought about reaching out to this prof — wasn’t very close to him at all and actually kinda didn’t like him when I was taking classes. Was the toughest grader at the school… But ya I should do that. I’m so lost with what to do next since being fired.

If you could change one thing in the past, what would it be?

Personally, when I look back on my life it is the "failures" that I see - the failures that shaped my path. And today I wouldn't give up any of those failures because I cannot see what my life would be without them.

Went to undergrad at 22, not 18 - people called it a failure to start late...but I met my wife. - who I would not have met if I'd gone at 18.

Got an accounting degree - didn't use it for 12 years while working in construction trades. But now I own an older home and that experience is invaluable.
