No Job

I looked for countless jobs online without response. My resume changed more frequently than my linux distro and was noticed less than an FAQ. HR is a filter, permitting only resumes that match the job description. Each job description could be a mirror of each resume I submitted. My resumes sat on top of the filters. I looked closely to see what was stopping my resume from going through. I sent my resume through a filter to see what it thought. "Two months IT experience."

Now I know what an insult is.

Ever since I was five, I've been on the computer. I started by playing with software. I configured all parts of the computer to make it unfit for normal use. Then, I put it back. I repeated it enough times I didn't have to look at the screen. I filled my hard drive with tools I could use to take apart more of my computer. The text editor, the compiler, the kernel. I programmed new parts to replace the old ones. I read technical documents and the FCCs. I could build a computer out of sand with the proper equipment. I could make a web browser for it, but it would be simple. It would run on THUMB architecture. The OS would be less than ten thousand lines of code. Any more, and a feature would be removed. It would be so consistant that the kernel would be written in the same language the shell would interpret. It would have exactly what it needed.

I couldn't get a helpdesk job. Maybe I should start a buisiness or something.
