I'm done Friday and then back to work next Tuesday. I don't get time off at this job until I've been here 6 months full time… so April. I don't want to go anywhere anyway, but damn I could use a rest.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…

Persecution is baked in to Christianity, unfortunately. So when they don't have actual persecution they just make it up.

I swam yesterday because my back was a little better and I fear the coming tide of January temps at my gym, I want to get some good pool time in before I have to share with 4 other people who can't figure out how to time their laps and I get kicked. It felt good to be in the water without pain AND my turns haven't…

For some reason the broken HTML makes this much funnier to me.

Hey sister, why don't polar bears eat penguins?

I'm no further in JoJo's Bizarre Adventures than I was last week, but I will be hitting it again soon. I also caught up on Star Vs. The Forces of Evil and I have to agree with Dikachu about a lot of the fuckery that last episode brought. Ugh. I have a bunch of Steven Universe and Adventure Time to catch up on soon,…

A guy gets a call that his wife just went into labor suddenly and he needs to come to the hospital immediately to see his new son. He rushes over, excited, only to find his wife holding a giant ear in a blanket.

Fuck This Shit

Yeah, I just feel like there's something about this that's above and beyond. Like people here wishing actual harm on Lena Dunham because she said something stupid. Yes, it was really stupid, but the reaction is way out of line.

I don't know if I would consider myself a foot fetishist, since I have
no interest in anyone else's feet, but having my own feet rubbed is
pretty high up my list of amazing foreplay. I would date a foot
fetishist just to get access to foot rubs.

See, that's one of the things that's eating me. They posted the job because they said they're doubling the size of the department, so it's more likely they don't want ME than that they don't have anything to offer me. I guess part of me doesn't want to know what about me personally they find so unfit for the job.

I suppose I could, I just sort of didn't want to in the moment. It felt desperate and after 5 interviews where I comported myself as well as I could I didn't want to end it all by being desperate.

Oof, and one of my answers somewhere in the middle was "go through the specs, talk to the engineer" so I thought I hit on that.

Please bring me some figging pudding.

I hope so. Thank you, when I'm done beating myself up (because it's not in my nature not to beat myself up) I will take solace in this. For now I'm just going to retreat into sleep, where I can be a viking with no job interviews whatsoever.

I can understand the point of the question if they wanted to see how I would think something through, but it felt like they were waiting for me to say one specific thing that I could never seem to hit on.

No, they asked me how I would test a refrigerator and then when I had talked through basically everything I could possibly do to it (that I could think of, I'm a fucking software tester not a mechanical QA) they kept prodding me for more. Even after I told them straight up "I can't think of anything else" and had run…

A lot of it was technically stuff which is kind of a bear to do remotely. Not to mention the fact that they asked me to do the same things in 4/5 interviews. And I guess it saves me a really intense decision to move overseas. But up until this last interview I got nothing but good feedback on the interviews and I…

Ha… funny you should say that. I just found out the job I had 5 interviews for that would move me to Tokyo passed on me. I guess it's nice that they took the time to tell me, but damn that's a bummer.
