I was laid off about a month ago and have been working on finding a new position. I've applied for a few positions through USAJobs, and the posting for one just closed.....and it shows that there were 6,800 applicants. And I thought the numbers on LinkedIn were intimidating 😳

Last year, our debut in America and Canada left us spellbound, facing sold-out venues and an incredible crowd. The energy was unreal, and we didn’t want to miss it again. So, we're back for the North American Tour 2024 to celebrate the holy heavy metal mass with even more of you!

I would love to bring more attention to Swirly, such a sweet old boy who needs a loving home. He's the biggest cuddle bug but does have some health issues. Located in the Madison WI area. @feederofcats @JortsTheCat giveshelter.org/our-services…
