Exactly. Like, how can my company profit off someone’s pain? Maybe name strains like #abusedasachild or #mymomdiedfromcancer? Fucking gross.

Oy vey... that is some mediocre “I can do whatever I want” male shit.

Really? Wow that is surprising! I guess I could see doing that with someone that got out of school fairly recently and didn’t have a ton of job experience. Good thing Mr. T rarely listens to me lol.

Good for you! And how bad is a place if you know within minutes that it’s not for you? I interviewed at a place a few years ago where immediately upon entering the office suite you felt depressed and everyone I met there seemed tired and sad, despite being reasonably young and fit. I declined the 2nd interview and she…

Ok... going to have to try this... 

That’s awesome and enjoy it!!  Holy hell the heat and humidity the last few days in the NE have been gross. Get your AC game on! 

Wow!! The balls on some people! And that’s so unnecessary because you can just say you were a contractor to Apple. The most I’ve ever done was give myself a title that actually described my job instead of the title that my employer gave me because they didn’t want to pay me more. That company doesn’t exist anymore…

I heard about Canada’s different approach a few months ago, and the person on NPR talking about it said it was the most Canadian way to deal with a pandemic ever lol. I’m almost in Canada, but moving to the SW of the US in a few months, and dammit I want y’all to open your borders before then! I really want to make it…

Shuddering here! That scene at the end of the first one where the possessed mom is crawling through the crawlspace to get her kid, I don’t know why but that really freaked me out. I think the claustrophobia of it, crawling through the dirt. NOPE! 

I have terrible social anxiety as it is, and even in the Before Times I was prone to making weird faces in response to people. With a mask, holy shit I was unleashed to do whatever I wanted with my face! Now I’m back to reining that in. Practice, practice, practice!

Ooh thank you! I will check it out! Sounds right up my alley. 

My partner is one semester shy of his degree. I keep telling him, just say you finished college, no one is checking on that. But he’s too honest for his own good. 

Oh man... good for her! I can’t imagine having to listen to terrible stories all the time, and then being under mandate to deny everything. 

Right?! Only now as I approach 50 do I realize I could have been lying about half my resume all these years. Who’s actually checking that stuff? No one!

Meee toooo!!! I lasted 7 years in the last job that I hated and took out of desperation. This one, less than 2 years, and the only reason I didn’t quit sooner was because of the pandemic and knowing I wouldn’t find anything else. So I’m improving :) 

That sounds so fun! I miss going to live shows and dancing so badly.

That sounds like a good neighbor! Don’t rock the boat though. 4 weeks isn’t long enough to know just how crazy someone is. I mean, we’re all crazy, but one type of crazy is going to be more compatible with your type of crazy than others.

Yup! All those situations where your intuition is saying Run!!! But instead you think oh well I should just stick it out a little and maybe it’ll improve. I knew before I took my job that it wasn’t going to be right, but I took it out of desperation. Desperation is always a bad start, whether it’s a job or a date, and…

It’s kind of crazy what we tell ourselves we need to put up with sometimes, right? There was this woman that temped in an office I worked in; she worked there before my time, but she was legendary. She was there from 9-12pm, took lunch, and never returned. Just knew 3 hours into it that it wasn’t for her, and so she…

True; idk why I didn’t think of this but our house was built in the 80s, long after refrigeration was invented.
