[Magdalen] Where are we

[cady soukup]

Prayers Bob, may comfort and motivation find you where you are.

Thank you Grace Can. for clarification about Dio. VA policies. I am at
least "one-removed" from the policies, so am unclear, but supportive
of the diocese in its endeavors to keep us all safe from ourselves.

Marion - your zoom schedule sounds both delightful and daunting!

Ginga - your maturity and wisdom is inspiring. Thank you.

Now, to find that motivation to apply for jobs ...

Cady
resistant to online tech certification classes and exams ... my bad
... trying to fit my brain into the recommended "modern language" of
resumes where specialized AI "reads" the resumes before they are
evaluated by mere humans ... every other job I have applied for has
relied on a loose personal network of contacts for recommendations and
assistance!
