job hunting in a pandemic isn& #39;t *fun* exactly...but most people I& #39;ve talked to have been just as stressed as I am, so the process has been really human this time around

if I stumble over my words and say "sorry I& #39;m a little nervous" the other person will say "yeah I feel like SHIT" and, cool, now we can have a real conversation

I don& #39;t think I& #39;ve ever had an interview where I& #39;m within the normal range of my mental and physical abilities

I& #39;m always too stressed

but at least now the other people are, too

it& #39;s broken down the barriers a bit and for that I& #39;m grateful
