I kind of think they started bombarding their contact with Google with like requests about why the process wasn't going faster.

And maybe Google was like, ah, maybe we don't need this person.

Um, this concludes failing at Google was good because she's gotten, she'd gotten $10,000 from unemployment at this point.

Uh, quote, this means I had some time.

If they hired me soon, it would deprive me of at least several months of freedom.

In which, of course, she is continuing to work out her theories with Gwen on the sailboat.

Also, I don't know if that's freedom.

It's really not freedom.

Maybe work.

I hear the Google campus has a lot of things to do.

It's kind of the what if.

I think maybe at this point she still could have pulled out of this tailspin if she'd gotten a job.

And worked around other people and socialized, not on the sailboat.

But also a real consistent thing with Ziz is at this point, she has no willingness to like do the kind of compromise.

And I'm not just talking about the moral compromise, but like if you're going to work a job for a company, you're going to spend a large part of your day doing a thing that like you wouldn't be doing otherwise, right?

Because that's what a job generally is.

It's just work.

That's just work.

And Ziz feels like she can't handle the idea of doing anything but reading fan fiction and theorizing about how to give herself superpowers, right?

That's the most important thing in the world because the stakes are so high.
