Wandering Adventure Party

If you know of job or gig opportunities, particularly in Python, natural language processing, or (non-LLM) machine learning/AI, please send them my way!

What I'm good at: advanced algorithms, algorithm design, creative technical problem solving, math, R&D, novel or highly cognitively challenging domains, cross-domain projects, detail work, big picture, technical leadership

What I'm not so good at: non-technical leadership, time management, time pressure, administrative tasks, rote processes, detail work sans any creative element or deep thinking

I'm neurodivergent and won't fit well in many roles tailored towards "ordinary", but I will absolutely *thrive and excel* in many roles that most people would find daunting. Cognitively, I'm a heavy lifter: I love exercising my brain to the limit, and get I bored if I can't.

I really don't want to do this again. I'm having major anxiety over it, and so is my wife. But I'm going to have to start beg-posting again while I continue to look for a job. This is your advance warning to mute/unfollow, if regularly seeing that bothers you. I won't apologize for needing help and saying so, but I won't hold it against people, either.

I am having one of those days.

No, most of my days are "one of those days". This is extra. IDK how to put it into words. I'm completely miserable. Everything is wrong, and I just want to cry and sleep. Just existing is painful.

I miss happiness and comfort. I miss not being stressed out, sickly, and exhausted 24/7. I'm starting to wonder if there's a light at the end of the tunnel. My whole brain is just doom today. Maybe I just slept badly. Or maybe I'm just being realistic today. How can I know?

We are having trouble getting enough food. We've been digging into the emergency stocks to make it work. The bag of rice is gone, half our beans are gone, the ramens are nearly depleted. We could really use some help getting through this difficult time. It has very much been day to day, asking for money for food and sometimes getting enough for 2 days but often barely getting enough for 1. We have 4 mouths to feed: my wife, me, and our two pre-teen daughters, one of them having a growth spurt and eating more.

We would really appreciate any help you can offer us! If you only have a dollar or two, that can still make a big difference, like whether we get to have a veggie with our meal. If you are broke, too, a boost would still be really helpful.

The community has kept us going this far. Thank you all for helping us out while we work through this personal crisis!
