Come top of the hour, going to interview for the manager role on the documentation team I work on. Not holding my breath; my colleague is applying too, she'd be great as well. Either of us will support the other. Could be someone else too that gets it. Funny, I did this manager application thing at the last place, in December 2022. That sure worked out badly. Hoping nothing like that this time. Best foot forward, always.

Updated radio page . . . passed 8/1/24, a full year since I was ambushed into a video call that ended my time at a company I had loved to be part of, done so much with, believed so much in . . . I was humiliated in this call, called worthless, & more lies not worth saying here, not believed by anyone I had worked with save two vile souls. . . & I did not fight back because all I could think at that moment was to not do anything to screw up getting a compensation check & being able to file for unemployment . . . so I said nothing, save telling the piece of shit HR person what my email was . . .
I have not felt so crushed low since I was in high school, & that was never a place I had loved or felt an important part of . . . there are some moments that stay with you, like a mark, a scar, something deep . . . & yet it is with some relief that I passed that one year mark, & began to let go . . . that beloved company has become nearly worthless, laid off hundreds of people, good people, in a desparate bid of awful founders to stay afloat . . .
I am not the kind of person who wishes many ill, but I do wish that that company either goes out of business or is consumed by a larger one for parts . . . I passed my year mark, I have good, gainful employment, KD still dearest to me always, & my Art which survives ever with me whatever the motherfuckers of the world can do . . . I hope I will spend more time looking on, less looking back . . . time to let it loose . . . my Art looks elsewhere than all that . . . thus I happily follow . . . and. oh yah......

Working on online promotion of Dream Raps, Volumes One-Six, as well as printing copies . . . First RaiBook in 9 years, ended up being this volume at the last minute, but came together very nicely . . . Dream Raps are "new fixtions, come from Dreamland . . . " is how I am explaining it . . . that's the short answer . . . the longer one is that I keep a dream journal every morning, have for many years . . . eventually this raw material worked into my Within's Within radio show's opening monologue, & eventually to The Cenacle on an annual basis, & to the Entering Dreamland SpiritPlants Radio show, & into the Scriptor Press Samplers, & much of that to this site, so arriving to a RaiBook was probably bound to happen . more volumes to come . . . lots of fun . . . glad new RaiBook work has come, though my JBIII RaiBook remains to be done . . .
