Voidus Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks, guys. I'm rereading Sorcerer's Stone as a sort of comfort read, and I think it's helping. It's just when I stop and think about jobs or interviews that things go….bad. And I know things can't be as bad as my brain is making them out to be. Back when I was interning, I spent the entire five months thinking I was barely one step ahead of total disaster, and when it ended, my supervisor said she wished they had an opening at her branch so she could hire me. That wasn't the first time something like that happened, either; I seem to make a habit out of seeing everything as being far, far worse than it actually is. I just can't seem to stop. I like the evil genie idea, though. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
