Delightful Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Seems like yesterday wasn't a good day for mental health all around. As a friend told me when I was freaking out: you're not alone. WE STAND TOGETHER! <cue cheesy/dramatic music>. Yeah, sorry. Just trying to lighten things up. *hugs* 1

As a friend told me when I was freaking out: you're not alone. WE STAND TOGETHER! <cue cheesy/dramatic music>. Yeah, sorry. Just trying to lighten things up. *hugs* Just as long as no one starts singing songs from High School Musical…. ….I think we'll be okay.

Kaymyth she/her Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Well you just tell your brain that you're the Shipmistress of the 17th Shard and originator of the Question darnit! You can achieve anything you set your mind to, be it getting a job or conquering evil genies. ,,,I think I want a job conquering evil genies. That sounds way more exciting than my current job. 4

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Mom: Have you heard anything back on the Anchorage job? Me: No, not yet. Mom: Okay….don't get offended, and realize I'm not trying to be offensive; I'm just saying the truth….but if you don't get that job, there's probably a good reason for it. Gee, thanks, Mom. I'm trying really hard not to take it the way I think you meant it, but when you drop little hints throughout the week that you were indeed listening in on my Skype interview and thought I bombed it, it's nigh impossible for me to take it any other way. You think I sounded like a blathering idiot who couldn't form a coherent sentence to save her life, and that's the "good reason" why I won't get the job. If you thought it "wasn't God's best for me" and that he "has something better in mind," you would've storming said "It's not God's best for you and he has something better in mind." You suck. Moms are supposed to be encouraging. I don't even want to eat dinner with you now. I want to go out to McDonald's and cry angry tears into my $1.10 hamburger. 3

Moms are supposed to be encouraging. I don't even want to eat dinner with you now. I want to go out to McDonald's and cry angry tears into my $1.10 hamburger. A dollar and ten cents for a hamburger at the McD's?! I'm not lovin' it! It's interesting how some people know what they are about to say is offensive and upsetting but say it anyway. Pretentious jerks. But I wouldn't let it get you down. She has much less of an idea of what's going on than you do. It's just, unfortunately, human psychology that people who are most unfit to have a say on certain subjects are the ones who will spout garbage on such subjects with supreme confidence in their (non-existent) abilities. If the Anchorage job is the best job for you, I'm sure you'll get it. If you don't, it's only because another, better job is waiting for you! 1

If the Anchorage job is the best job for you, I'm sure you'll get it. If you don't, it's only because another, better job is waiting for you! Thanks. It's just....I know she's not right about everything. The last time I made a big mistake I told her about, she acted like I had to bring a small votive offering to my internship supervisor and plead for mercy if I wanted a chance of making things right, but it turned out my supervisor was really cool and understanding about the whole thing. She treated it as an opportunity for me to learn something good, not a chance to punish me. So the Anchorage job might be less of a long shot than I think. But she KNEW I was anxious about it. She KNEW I was unsure. And so she decided to kick me while I was down and already wondering if I had a prayer of getting ANY job. And now....I know she's just being awful, but it worked. I'm thinking I don't stand a chance of ever getting a good job, or caring for a pug, or anything worthwhile. Whether I like it or not, she still has the power to make me feel like a steaming pile of chull dung. Edited September 15, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles
