Got a second interview!!!!! Yes!!!!This Thursday! I'm scared AF! But hoping that I get it right this time. Mannnnn I'm going to prepare for real this time!!
I feel like ordering pizzaTo be honest, I'm not even craving pizza. I just want the feeling of someone bringing something to me. Like a kid waiting for their parents to bring them a gift😂
I've come back needing reassurance!!My interview went well, I think it did! I did mess up on one question (he asked if I could do something and I had genuinely forgotten, so I said "it's been a while but I'm sure I will be able to do it". They kinda all laughed uncomfortably when I...See More »
I shouldn't be counting my chickens before they hatch, butIf I'm quitting my current job which I've been at for only a little over two months, do I need to give them two weeks notice as courtesy? I don't like the job at all. I'm barely managing to do my job right now. I'm also in an at-will state.
Thanks for everyone's advice to stay patient. I waited for a week and emailed him againI definitely didn't seem desperate and now I have an interview tomorrow!!!!!! Literally studying for it at work lol. I also cannot stop thinking about the resignation letter for my current workplace, I keep fantasizing about what I'll put in it😂
Do you think I should email someone else?I applied for a job at a research lab, and also reached out to a senior scientist on LinkedIn for it. I am very qualified for the position, btw. The guy on LinkedIn replied and said to email him. I emailed him on Friday, heard nothing back from him...See More »
I like studying eschatologyA lot of interesting insights. The latest one I'm reading is called "That All Shall Be Saved". It's an exposition on the Universal Reconciliation doctrine which was held by several of the early church fathers such as Gregory of Nyssa, Isaac of...See More »
Job seeking is like being on a dating app🤣🤣🤣Some companies ghost you after having a good time, some give you hope, etc etc. And then eventually, you find the right company to settle down and build a future with🤣
I NEED ADVICE!!! Complicated work situation!!!Long story short, I've resolved to quit my job. It's not congruent with my educational background, and the hours are insane and unpleasant. Yesterday my supervisor wanted me to work for 14 hours and I had to put my foot down. So I've been applying...See More »
When you feel like you're being strung along, do you confront or let it slow fade?I confronted. Was thinking of just letting it fade away but I think I prefer to be assertive. Fading away means you're still leaving the door open for them to string you along. Here's what I sent her: Hey *name*, I think you're interesting, enjoy...See More »
Happy birthday to me!!And @MellyMel22!! I remember because we have the same birthday lol. I don't feel 24 though, is it weird that a part of me wishes I can slow down my age? Lol.
About my last post. Wow. I just tried it and I have a lot of work to do on myself. Never realized how bad my situation had gotten.Wow. Just played a chess game, a 30 minute rapid game. I lost, but I'm proud of myself. All through the game I was FILLED with anxiety. I legit couldn't sit still, my heart couldn't stop beating fast. I think I need to take seriously the fact that I...See More »
Going to start playing chess againI've noticed I've had problems with patience, delayed gratification, and dealing with rejection. Chess helps with all of these. It's even better that I'm very rusty- so I'm going to lose a lot and have to see whether I have the perseverance to keep...See More »
Reading this great book about assertiveness and effective communication"When I Say No I Feel Guilty". One of the key things I've picked up from it so far is that it's possible to deduce that what you want to do is "unreasonable" and still need/want to do it, and that's okay. Because who defines what is reasonable or...See More »
What do you think?Was supposed to go out on a date tomorrow afternoon and spend tge day with someone I've been talking to for over a month. She texts me today to reschedule because it's her roommate's send off party, and ask if we can meet earlier in the day, during a...See More »
Went to see Elvis alone two weeks agoIt was fun. I think I want to take myself out tonight again. Solo dates can be fun, maybe I should do these more often instead of spending my money on dates.
For these people it's really just about being assholes and pretending it's about logic They used the very pronouns they were pretending not to understand lol. Even I don't fully understand the whole LGBT stuff but it doesn't take anything to call someone what they'd like to be called
I spend on the women I dateI know there's a whole modern thing about going 50/50 and all that and I totally get it. But idk I guess I'm just used to taking the "provider" role if that makes sense. That's what I grew up seeing. Now I'm dating a woman who probably makes 2x what...See More »
It's funny how it's always the guys that notice how much I work outMy male friends and even coworkers are the ones that notice my "gains" and gas me up😂 women don't seem to.
I hope it's all going to be worth itI'm studying sooo hard for a career change. It's a long (2 years) term plan. Also I'm paying for the degree myself, it's a second Masters and I'm doing it part time with my new job. First time I have to pay out of pocket because I've always gotten...See More »
Someone I recently started dating flew home to be with their familyAnd their grandma died. I obviously believe them but I barely hear from them anymore, which is understandable since that's a huge thing to happen. But like, do I sit and wait for her? Or just move on? I'm really interested in her and really want...See More »
I have a lot of internalized self hateAnd to be honest my dad contributes a lot to it. I try to avoid him. Then he makes me feel guilty for how much he supported me financially growing up (and yes, to be honest he did everything required of him and more, including paying for my...See More »
Will it be a bad idea to ask this?Tldr; I want to ask someone to check out a museum with me but I'm afraid she'll assume it's a date Sooo there's this lady I met while I was in grad school but didn't know too much about her apart from small talk and all that, we met through my youth...See More »
Kind Atheists are closer to Jesus than bad, mean ChristiansMatthew 21:28-32, The Parable of the Two Sons 28 “What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ 29 He answered, ‘I will not’; but later he changed his mind and went. 30 The fathere...See More »
