Diana.nu

I didn’t get the job.

Last night, the woman called me, and said I have more growth in other industries or something. Making me so angry.

There was nothing relevant to put in my resume, so I put web development stuff and made it relate (bad idea). But I told her that I don’t want to do web development anymore. It’s dead. It’s over. Bye.

But she shooed me away because I happen to have experience in something I don’t want to do anymore.

Everyone I know is telling me the same thing, too. Diana, you can do it. Diana, it’s the future. I think it might be impressive that I know HTML and CSS and PHP, but only to people who don’t know them.

It takes more than that to get a job, friends. I don’t know a lot of JavaScript to be a front-end developer, and I don’t know OOP to be a back-end developer, and I don’t have the creativity to design as a job.

And no more learning, please. I’m tired already, and I imagine I’d only get more tired trying to keep up in the industry. No más. I just want an office job where I can use general skills and not be stressed out.

So, I guess I give up. I’m going for front-end developer jobs, making it clear what I can or can’t do. Sigh, you know?

I think, I’m pretty sure, I’ve said here that I am giving up web development.

But I spent all day today making Okay smartypants, I’ll do it.

Even more, it’s all javascript! I’m so proud. It’s the tiniest thing. I love it.

I thought I was nerdy, but then a friend reminded me of two jokes I had made before, and the jokes were actually super nerdy. I can’t believe I said them.

Yet, there is much nerdy territory for me to cover.

Anyway, my major is now English. Sigh of relief. English doesn’t change as often as web development stuff does. And it’s half-technical/half-creative which makes it feel like English has two arms ready to give me a hug.

I love hugs.
