Technogripes : So much stuff you go blind

As someone very much aware of the consumer society and having multiple reasons for railing against the world in a effort to fix it, this is my tech gripe. I notice it's some time since I posted a moan, but this is hopefully a happy resolver posting for some.

Okay so that's my GDPR rant out of the way. I'll let you know later how that one turns out, they only have a bot social account and they only do paid support, so waiting 24 hour turn around on the tech guys, so far I am almost able to log in.

BUT I promised good news.

So here it is - I was staring at my Amazon "HD" tablet, it's a 7 gen or something, but the colours amazon used when they ported the stock calendar app are clearly not useable - but I thought this was the google app, but it's not. Sooo , see the screenie below that, where I get to eat my hat. I had to simply install the real google app, and now I am no longer blind.

Job hunting on weekends again

This weekend, like so many lately I have spent a little time job hunting.
3 applications sent in SCSC, CMR and ADDER is as far I got this weekend. Would love to be able to send out loads of applications and then not suffer a mental overload when you get more than 2 emails back on one day and have to set up interviews and preparation work in a hurry.

I keep thinking there must be something I forgot to do in all this, but generally, if you are adept at it, you can get past the recruiter. Recruiters, not sure why I bother too much making links, they rarely place you, and companies are happy to deal directly. Sure, the more senior you are, the better a recruiter will work for you. That does count, an agent does grease the wheels, but not a guarantee. which is probably what I'm looking for, to have to not deal with dozens of contacts, just with one.

Are MMO's a thing at my age?

A few Neverwinter Nights links

Here're a few usefull links and informations, that'll hopefully help you in NWO:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/wiki/leveling
how to unlock chat, auction house and more.
http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Sword_Coast_Chronicles_Campaign
gives you something to follow, and a few good rewards on your way to level 70.
http://forum.arcgames.com/neverwinter/categories/guild-recruitment-pc
look for a decent guild and join one, this will also make NWO easier and more fun to play.
http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Astral_Diamond
read up about AD, and start doing those random daily dungeons/skirmishes to earn it.
https://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/VIP_Program
is another good source for a steady AD income from opening lockboxes with the daily key you get from it, and the ViP perks you unlock in time aren't that bad either.
https://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Leadership
it will take time to rank up this profession, but do it on each character you have, and it will provide you with usefull items (Refinement Points), some Gold and XP in return.
https://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Invocation
another source of useful items and bonus XP.
https://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Events
can give you a whole boatload of free items and AD. next one in line is the Winter Festival, get one character to level 30 before it is active, and you can make millions of AD from it with a bit of loot luck.

hopefully more free ZEN, when it's up and running again.
And when you want to spend ZEN, be smart and only "shop", when they've a winter/summer sale (40% discount on anything) going.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/wiki/currencies
last but not least, read this before buying ZEN through Steam...
