The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!

@StrikerEZ oh dear. What have I done? XD

[StrikerEZ he/him]

@Sunbirb

Ugh, it doesn't work.

[Jondesu he/him]

On my way to the airport (via Uber, first time trying that) to head home finally. It'd be happier if I'd gotten any relief, but I'm insanely homesick and ready to be there as soon as possible.

That's a big step! Do you have another job lined up already?

There are jobs I am looking at but even if I cant land one right away I can still coast on my bank savings for quite a while.

@Sunbirb

Woah, I'm honored. I didn't think you'd actually change your name because of the joke. That's some true commitment right there.

Thanks, DA, you've been so supportive (and others of ya'll), and I appreciate it a lot. I'm home safe (well, at another doctor's visit right at the moment technically), and even though I'm not feeling better, I'm feeling...better emotionally. I didn't expect that considering it's another failure to fix the problem, but I guess it's largely relief to be home and no longer in the hospital.

There's always this smug sense of satisfaction, when find prove that your math textbook has an error in it. 

It's also super annoying, but it's worth it.

Lol oh what fun. Also I might have looked at your reputation level and thought of transformers 

[Jondesu he/him]

Our doctor is seriously amazing. Not so far at fixing the problems (though what he says makes sense even though I haven't gotten any relief yet), but he offered today, almost insisted (not that we had any reason to object anyways) that he wanted to call the certifying doctor at the company that handles my disability claim (which if you've been reading the bad day thread, you'll know has been a gigantic pain in the chull), and basically tell him he better ease off and grant my disability because my doctor has huge amounts of evidence to back up my claim along with a lot of medical research to support it that they've so far considered "insufficient". He is going to bat for us in a way I never expected, and whether it gets us the disability payments I deserve or not, it was a huge encouragement.

That's awesome Jondensu

That's great!

And your doctor is amazing

I just got back from Austin after going down yesterday for the UIL State Solo Contest. I got a 1 on my solo! 1 is the best, by the way.

Oh, also, I'm a little past halfway through Words of Radiance. Yesterday was a good day.

Great job! For the contest, that is. Although reading WoR is an achievement too.

Thanks! I was so proud of my performance, even with the couple mistakes I made. I feel so relieved after finally releasing all that stress that'd been building up over this contest.

Also...I just finished WoR. Holy cow. That was amazing.

Holy cows are  amazing, you're right but seriously, WoR is for me the best book by Sanderson so far, so I know what you mean I envy you that you have to wait only 6 months for the next part

I don't know why I use that phrase. It's just kind of a southern thing.

Anyway, while I don't have to wait as long as everyone else has had to (haha), I won't be able to read it right when it comes out. I can't really buy books, so I have to get them from the library. And it takes awhile for my library to order in books.

[Mestiv he/him]

There is an Internet outage in work, so nothing works, so technically I'm getting paid for sitting on my butt and  doing nothing

[Erunion he/him]

Sooooo.... It looks like I have a job interview tomorrow morning. 

This is exciting. 
And nerve-wracking.

Just be confident.  That's the biggest thing I learned through my many real and practice interviews now.  If you're not confident, then even if you're an excellent candidate, you can feel off to them.  If you're not the best candidate, but you appear more confident, you might even get the job over someone else who wasn't as confident.

[Mestiv he/him]

That's a good advice, however easier said than done also remember that they want to hire you, they'd love to be done with looking for someone to do the job, so just don't give them a reason not to hire you

May I ask for what job are you applying?
