My nerves are so racked up right now, if I didn't have to get up early and didn't have anything stronger than wine available to me I'd probably drink with the intent of getting sh*t faced for the first time in my life. Dr Pepper and cringey videos will have to do.

I hate being bad at a** kissing, that's why I apply for grunt work in the first place so a** kissing isn't expected of me.

I feel your pain, it isn't in me either.

A couple of years back I went to an employment agency to help me find work. This was after having a psychosis and I needed extra help in getting a job. Anyway I had an interview and was just my normal self, *I* thought I did fine. However the employment agency asked the interviewer for feedback to see how I went.. Apparently, I was "too shy" and the messed up part is it wasn't even a job that required me to be outgoing. The other messed up part is, I wasn't shy! I just can't bullshit like other people do.
So the agency told me, "You need to be more outgoing and confident blah blah blah"

And I said, "I wasn't shy. I was just myself. If they're not gonna give me a job based on the bullshit notion that I wasn't outgoing enough then they can shove it up their arse."

Give it two weeks, they called the employment agency and wanted to hire me cause it wasn't working out for the person they picked instead of me. They were useless. Go figure. Lucky I had something lined up by then so I could gladly tell them to shove it.

So everything is getting put off until tomorrow and hearing about the interview my chances have plummeted. Instead of doing one with one or two people asking me questions there will be four or five supervisors and a room full of people there who want the job and I more or less have to be more 'outgoing' than them. For a position where they don't want you to bother people. Guess I'm sticking to min wage after all cause no way in ******* hell I'm getting that job, I'd have better luck getting it if they shoved us in a room and told us to brawl it out.

Not to mention I'm horribly nervous about the whole thing since the application calls for things like 'tell us why you deserve to work here' and I'm awful with that kind of a** kissing bullsh*t and the last time I did something remotely close to an interview I failed badly.

 

The position in questions asks you not to bother people working there or to go talk to them so why the hell do I need to be all bubbly and giddy and outgoing for that? 

 

If the position asks you do something and you think you can do that thing then that is why you deserve to work there. If they want you to keep to yourself and you're great at that then tell them that.

I kinda want to know what the job is and why you are encouraged to not talk to anyone.

 

At any rate, maybe the whole thing is some sort of giant test and the least outgoing person will get it. Think that scene in Men in Black when Will Smith gets the job because he does the unexpected, and right, thing.

It's mostly just a clean up gig, you clean up around the machines, vacuum, empty out ashtrays, throw away cups. They want people to keep playing the machines so they don't want you to distract them from that, yet the stupid interview wants you to be as outgoing as possible. Hell I bet the surveillance gig would do that too even though your no where near the customers. (going to try applying for that as well if the first one falls through since it pays slightly more)

My hip hop class is more challenging than any dance class I've taken, and it involves more upper body strength. I struggling a bit and I'm not used to that with dancing. 

[Jorji Costava]

I believe in you, Arti. And even if all else fails, remember that you'll never struggle with dancing as much as this dude:

I'm starting to think I may have some kind of anxiety problem. I feel like I'm going to throw up just thinking about the interview tomorrow.

^ Just in case you see this before you go... GOOD LUCK TODAY!

 

[nightscrawl]

Ugh... I've copied the same paragraph explaining the function of the DA Keep about four times in the past week. I'll have to see about writing a guide post or something... >.<

Thank you

Interviews make me nervous. Good luck for whatever it's worth.

And LOL Solas a sex offender. That is a new one.

In my experience it won't help all that much. The Common issues thread I made back during the beta got pinned and I still saw the same questions pop up multiple times a day. It did make it easier for me to copy-paste my stock responses though. 

[HuldraDancer]

Was dead wrong about the interview, it's happening Tuesday, in a bar with four supervisors and other people applying. So hoping I can calm my nerves by then but yeah I don't think that'll happen. My best bet is that everyone else is far worse than I am, or maybe I can slip drugs in their drinks and win by default when they all pass out.

[Lady Artifice]

Work is driving me crazy lately. I think I need to work on my patience, because the majority of both my coworkers and my clients seem slow and unnecessarily confused to me.

[Akrabra]

Life sucks! Nothing more to say really, one of those days.

So many stupid people, so little time....

Some of these posts make me remember why I go into lurk mode for up to a month at a time. Don't some posters have better things to do than hate and bash on strangers?

No one has to answer that. It was rhetorical.

I found some pseudo-scientific nonsense in a thread about Celene, that was fun

So I had a peek to see what you were referring to and I just... I really don't know what to say to that. However, I will say that that user causes trouble wherever he goes on the forums, posting opinions that he knows will lead people into long, drawn out arguments. The most recent and best example are the last few pages of the Tevinter Imperium Support Thread. He went in there, into a pro-Tevinter thread, and stated that he wanted it to burn to the ground. It just went from there.

 

It got so bad in the Twitter thread that I had to ask people to stop engaging him, but I haven't bothered with the other threads, since it's at least on topic in them, regardless of how annoying it may be. In the Twitter thread I mentioned that his forum sig had a paragraph extolling the art of spamming. He's since removed that bit.

[Grieving Natashina]

Okay, I'm curious. Willing to post a link or send me a PM so I can see for myself? I have a few suspects in mind and I'm in the mood for some schadenfreude.

I don't get BSN, I would've thought constantly inciting racial conflicts, however unsuccessful that might be, deserves a ban. And yet here we are, more likely to get warning points for being annoyed at that, than someone who keeps spamming the forum with racist BS.

You mean the pseudoscience or the Tevinter thread? First one is here, second one starts around here, I think.

 

Edit: It started earlier...

He really likes that author Michael Bradley. He's now mentioned him in a few different posts. 

 

I had never heard of him, but after a couple mentions I decided to google him and found this. He's apparently a nutter who blames 9/11 on a Jewish conspiracy, and deciding that one tinfoil hat wasn't enough, also dabbles in 'Roswell inspired essays.'

how could the Jews have done 9/11?!  Its so ridiculous, the USA is already a member of the international Jewish plot to oppress the Aryan race and bring about world domination by the Jewry!
