Life (or lack of) updates. 3-2-22

I know it's been awhile. Work has been consuming most of my time and energy.
In some ways it's improved with much needed changes in management, them finally agreeing to hiring more people for our group, and actually acknowledging that I'm human!
In other ways it's still gotten worse... there's still 3 of us for what should be a 7 person team, recently I've been working at least 4 weeks straight with no weekends, and several of those weeks I have been working back to back 12 hour shifts for up to a week at a time! I really am not exaggerating that either...
Job hunting stuff...
Progress on some fronts... and some I'm still trying to hold onto my fragile self esteem while getting rejected and dehumanized over things I have no control over.
Art stuff...
Horribly slow. Mainly just from not having time or the energy. Although there are few things I'm slowly progressing on. I'm mostly doing some simple things to at least have something to show.
Anyways, I hope you all are holding up too through these increasingly crazy times.

The job hunting... I don't know what I'm doing wrong, if it even is me...
Just last week, I applied to another "entry level" job. They want a geology degree, I got that. They want a HAZWOPER40 certification, I've completed that. They want a background in processing water and soil samples, I've done that.
I even practically copied and pasted exactly what they said so their computer will think I'm a match.
The result: Auto rejected after the first business day...
