does that qualify as 'looking for some sort of employment' ?

- homarp 2y agoSorry, I am missing context. Where does that come from?
- not_your_vase 2y agoAre we not having the same conversation? You asked if putting a single sentence with a dead link in an email signature counts as job searching (putting that signature in emails by a person who barely sends emails, by his own admission). And my answer was "are you kidding me"? I hope this helps.
