    My answers to “Would you explain this gap in your resume?”:

    1. Relevancy: “I only included relevant experience on the copy of my resume that you received.” Hiking experience isn’t relevant. Couch experience isn’t relevant. Time spent as the forgotten pawn in the machinations of capitalism isn’t relevant.
    2. Privacy: “I am not required to disclose medical information, and will not be discussing this matter any further.”
    3. Fuck 'em: “No.”


  • Makes me think of the time I was running a stripped down laptop motherboard as a server for a while. Was given a laptop with a broken screen, but it had a wired NIC, so I pulled the screen off, along with any other component that wasn’t necessary, and shoved it behind a TV where it was close to the router. Ran on that thing for years before being able to afford better equipment.

    An underrated feature of the laptop server: built-in UPS!
