Young Bard he/him Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Congratulations to Morzathoth for making it to the top 50 rep count! Unless I missed the announcement already, in which case... congratulations anyway? Edited January 5, 2016 by The Young Bard 1
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Congratulations to Morzathoth for making it to the top 50 rep count! Unless I missed the announcement already, in which case... congratulations anyway? Congrats Morzahoth! In honor of this, let me post a joke. What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? 3
The Honor Spren she/her Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I found the perfect insult for Twi to use when she needs to get rid of a super annoying person: "You know, I'm really starting to think of you as family." "Aw, that's so--" "Yes, I can't stand my family." Edited January 5, 2016 by The Honor Spren 7

"Aw, that's so--" "Yes, I can't stand my family." That's kind of....Joker-like. "You know, you remind me of my father." *laughs* "I hated my father!" I must find a suitable chance to use it. 3
Delightful Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 That's kind of....Joker-like. "You know, you remind me of my father." *laughs* "I hated my father!" I must find a suitable chance to use it. And that just reminded me of Kilgrave :/
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 And that just reminded me of Kilgrave :/ I need to finish that series so I can be suitably creeped out by that.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 How far in are you? I got through the pilot before computer troubles made watching Netflix difficult.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 ok. But now I should be able to finish.
Delightful Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Wait. Wait. You finished the entire pilot. And haven't been able to continue?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Wait. Wait. You finished the entire pilot. And haven't been able to continue? My computer made it hard. And I'm also easily distracted by stress.
Delightful Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I'm just thinking in terms of that cliffhanger. *hugs*
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I have less than a week before I go to Algona for my interview. What if I miss my flight, or it gets grounded? What if I blow the formal interview? What if I get something on my clothes on my way to Algona and I don't have time to change? What if I totally blow it on the storytime? What if I say something stupid during the tour? What if lunch is a test and I order the wrong thing? What if Bruce decides I'm gone too long and he's just going to be my mom's dog from now on? What if I do everything perfectly and I get the job and I move to Iowa? 5
Mestiv he/him Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 As Saitama from One Punch Man said "I'll leave tomorrow's problems to tomorrow me.", you should do the same. Deal with every situation one by one and you'll be fine 4

But Twi, you are a kind, intelligent, generous, and funny person who has gone through tough times and came out smiling. You will make it. 2

If you miss your flight or its grounded, email or call the library staff and let them know that due to circumstances out of your control, you'll be late. They can't hold that against you, and it can give you a conversational ice-breaker to make awkward jokes about. You'll be ok with the interview. They clearly like you already. And if you mess up one thing, you'll get the rest right. They'll see you're great with kids and books and stories, just nervous with formality. That's normal. If you're really super nervous about clothing, take a spare set with you. This is unlikely to be an issue. Just be your awesome self and the kids will love you. You've practiced your book. You have an awesome craft. You got this. You won't say something stupid. Not so dumb as to blow your chances anyway. If you freeze up, play it off as a joke, laugh at yourself. Lunch is probably a test of how you'll fit in socially with other staff members. It's informal. You can't really go wrong with food so long as you don't slurp or eat with your hands or something obviously not socially acceptable. You can somewhat relax on this one. Bruce. Poops. To annoy. Your parents. He loves you. And if you get it, you'll be scared and nervous and you'll move out, and after a short while you'll get your feet under you and will be pure awesome. Okay? Deep breaths. If you get nervous, just keep practicing till you have everything totally down. Think of what they're likely to ask you. Brainstorm conversation topics in case there's an awkward silence. Be productive. You. Will. Be. Fine. 10
