Edgedancer he/him Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 There are only two things we can truly know in this world. 1. Our own thoughts and emotions. 2. The best food is indisputably tacos. Everything else is just speculation so try not to let it get to you too much. (Being a sufferer of anxiety I know how completely pointless that sentence can be sometimes but just take a few deep breaths and try to just let it all go as best you can) Because Twi is awesome. 1) You are right. Twi is awesome. I think we can add that to your universal list of facts. 2) I only ate Tacos once or maybe twice in my life. 2
Voidus Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 1) You are right. Twi is awesome. I think we can add that to your universal list of facts. 2) I only ate Tacos once or maybe twice in my life. It falls under the purview of 1. Everyone thinks that Twi is awesome, therefore everyone knows that Twi is awesome. 2) I bet it was the best thing you ate ever. And no I'm not just promoting tacos because I'm the social guilds resident tacomancer. 2

Voidus Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I can accept that statement. Eh, I prefer a food we make at home that's kind of like a taco in a pancake. I don't know whether I should consider that an awesome innovation or a travesty. I think I'll need to perform a few servings worth of research to find out.

Voidus Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I'll bet neither of you have ever had tacos in fry bread. Until I googled it three seconds ago I didn't even know what fry bread was.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Until I googled it three seconds ago I didn't even know what fry bread was. It is one of the greatest inventions known to man. You can use it as a taco shell, or dip it in almost anything and it'll still taste fantastic.
The Honor Spren she/her Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Mmmmmmmmmmmm . . . Fry bread. I've only had it once, but it was wonderful. :dreamy: Now look what you've done! Now my awesomeness is running low and I need to eat some pizza to get slick. That reference might have been a bit over done . . . 3
Seonid he/him Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Yeah, frybread is one of the most amazing things in the world. My mom used to make it for us. We had frybread tacos, or just ate it with honey and butter. Either way, it never lasted long.
Delightful Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Mmmmmmmmmmmm . . . Fry bread. I've only had it once, but it was wonderful. :dreamy: Now look what you've done!

I had to reread to get the reference but I think that's my bad not yours
Kaymyth she/her Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks. I'm just starting to wonder….is there a good reason why I'm not getting any calls back? And I don't just mean form emails—I mean I'll put in an application and never hear a word. Is it because I'd do that badly in positions I'm applying for? Would I be better off going back to serving in restaurants and praying I make good tips? I know I bombed the Anchorage interview. I know I did. I feel like I'd probably do even worse for an interview anywhere else, so it's probably a good thing I'm not getting any interviews because I'd just make a fool of myself. Part of the problem is that there are so many people trying to get library jobs. It's not as bad as it was, say, 8 years ago, but there's still a lot of competition out there. Just keep plugging. I know you're tired, and I know you're frustrated. Just take a deep breath, polish your stuff, and move forward. Worrying about the stuff behind you is just going to distract you. There are only two things we can truly know in this world. 1. Our own thoughts and emotions. 2. The best food is indisputably tacos. Everything else is just speculation so try not to let it get to you too much. (Being a sufferer of anxiety I know how completely pointless that sentence can be sometimes but just take a few deep breaths and try to just let it all go as best you can) Because Twi is awesome. I...I am not actually all that fond of tacos. (I blame elementary school lunches. I broke one of my last baby teeth in half on a taco shell in 6th. It was a traumatic experience.) 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Nooooo Twi don't let yourself believe that! All this frustrating progress you've made makes you better each time and soon you'll do brilliantly in interviews. You're gonna be a fantastic librarian someday soon. Really. You're an amazing human being and I refuse to let you give up on yourself. It's long and hard and frustrating and you have to suck at something before you can get good at it, but you'll get there. It's like Shallan going "I've been chasing this woman Jasnah for six months, it must mean I'll never find her" and then she turns back halfway to Kharbranth. You can't give up on this yet. Also.....I stumbled across this article about people who can't stand loud chewing etc. Thanks. I'll keep trying, partly since I have Bruce now. He's a great motivation. I want to get a good job in a nice place where he can experience all four seasons, play in the leaves, maybe even go to the beach once in a while. I don't want him to be stuck in the desert forever. As for that article….I'm not sure how much I agree with it. I do my best to cope, and I know that the responsibility for not overreacting falls on me. But that husband at the beginning who stormed out because she asked him to chew a little more quietly—yes, she should've asked more nicely, but invalidating her issues like that was rude. And I tend to think that while it is my responsibility to cope as much as I can (I never ask my coworkers not to smack their lips, no matter how much it annoys me, because it's not my place to change them) it's also impolite to eat food or enjoy hard candy loudly. When someone else can hear you enjoying your popsicle from fifteen feet away, you're too loud. Just….do it as quietly as you can; coping with that is up to the other person. That's my take on it, anyway. There are only two things we can truly know in this world. 1. Our own thoughts and emotions. 2. The best food is indisputably tacos.

I just wish this whole resume thing hadn't happened. Like, I get that my dad was trying to help, and it's good advice from an expert and I'm going to take it. I'm not going to discount perfectly good advice like that. I was reluctant to do it because I knew what it'd do to my psyche. I knew I'd start worrying about the stuff I'd already sent out, which I know is dumb but I can't help it, and I wish my mom hadn't basically bullied me into this, but there's no way out now.
RippleGylf she/her Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 In other news, my school was put on lockdown today. It was brief, but still. What's the deal? We go two years without incident, then three lockdowns/evacuations within two months?

We go two years without incident, then three lockdowns/evacuations within two months? Sheesh, that is a bit excessive (this coming from someone who thought bomb threats were normal growing up!) Should still be fine.... but sheesh! What a pain!

Do you live in actual desert? What's your water source?I'm so happy you got Bruno. just keep chugging. You'll get out of there someday soon. I can't really comment on the article because I don't think I've ever been on either side of that situation. I just though you might find it interesting and or helpful. Sounds like a pain of an issue to have :/. 1

Mistrunner Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Someone draw up a flag for the hug! Um, in class today, um, I was bored. 3

You'll get out of there someday soon. I can't really comment on the article because I don't think I've ever been on either side of that situation. I just though you might find it interesting and or helpful. Sounds like a pain of an issue to have :/. Sonoran Desert. We use water from a variety of sources, according to Google, though I know a good bit of it is reclaimed. I don't know if it can be helped at this point. Every time I intentionally expose myself to smacking noises, it just makes everything worse.

Briar King Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I'm not much for hugging unless it's my kids or nephew and niece but I ll gladly dish out some hardy pats on the back for people. My ankle hurts. My big mutts chain wrapped around it yesterday when I was trying to get him inside when people were walking their dog in front of my house. He got excited and ran off to bark to claim his domain and my ankle got caught from the momentum. He's 80 + lbs of muscle so yeah it hurts and is bruised.... 2
Voidus Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Saw these and thought of you. Since it never seems to matter what I do during an interview I am doing one or all of these at my next one, if I'm going to mess it up might as well have fun doing it. 4
