No seriously, I have an interview in about 3 hours. I lied on the screener and said I LOVE working with and helping people. It's a partial lie I guess because I like helping people but not in the "corpo" way since that isn't really helping people and it's all fake as fuck...

I am already daydreaming about having the job, where I have to mask hardcore and pretend I love talking to large groups of people but only after I hit a rockstar rail of coke off the toilet seat in the restroom beforehand. I've never done cocaine before... which nostril should I go with?

I sort of maybe would be ok if I got the job but like I really wanna get this freelance web dev thing off the ground instead.

I guess it wouldn't be horrible since it's a remote gig all done via Zoom meetings but like Idk... Every time I get going on programming a fucking job comes my way and screws it all up.

Sidenote but if anyone knows someone that wants a small business-esque static website that almost doesn't suck, hit me up. I need money to pay for things like food and weed.

Idk why I made this post really. How's everyone's week going?

E: so I got a "job offer" but did some googling and it's basically a cut-through insurance job sales position, I'd be working evenings so won't see my family. Probably won't take it. Sick of this tbh.

Hell yes, good luck. Having done both freelance and full-time web work, freelancing is cool and all, but having a steady paycheck where you don't have to figure out taxes or where the next gig is coming from is such a relief

What are you using to build static sites these days? I enjoyed working with Astro a while back

Actually I'm using Astro and Tailwind lol. Back in the day when I was first learning and making small web sites it was all WordPress and Bootstrap and I kind of hated it. But I really like how Astro feels a bit more organized and modern. And Tailwind is just freaking great. The joke I made to a friend was that I was gonna go with Flowbite(Tailwind framework), AstroJS, ReactJS, and TypeScript as my stack just so I could call it the FART stack, and funny enough that's actually what all I am using for my current templates rofl. I'd rather do full-time web dev but can't land a job to save my life.
