in the entire republic of ireland they don't have a single year-round permanent ice skating rink. country of five million people. no ice skating rinks. you can skate on temporary rinks in the winter! like little christmas pop ups! but no year round ice rinks. insane!

they asked me a couple questions about times that i had had a conflict with a coworker or other things about things that went wrong and i think especially in the coworker one i went on too long about what the conflict/issue was bc it was a very vague conflict and then wasn’t like punchy enough about how i overcame it. like instead of ending on the high note i awkwardly circled back to be like “yeah it was just a weird situation that you gotta work through” and now six hours later i’m like that was not great. ESPECIALLY because then they asked a follow up question about if it was a manager or a coworker which like kind your own business!! jesus christ that one i don’t feel good about what i was putting out into the world
i have my second job interview of the day momentarily (as part of the hiring process for the same job) and i was so chill about the first one and now i’m like shaking nervous what the heck

i hate "soldier comes home and surprises their child who they haven't seen in a year in public" and anyone who finds them heartwarming is a fucking psychopath

i need to walk 2-5 miles a day to maintain my emotional equilibrium but i hate being alone with my self right now so i need to walk with another person. fortunately right now i am living in the same house as my dad who is also a walker but unfortunately it is january
#we did 4.5 miles today in two separate trips#through freshly fallen 4 inches of snow#it was absolutely stunning but also a little slow-going

thinking about how i made my life smaller to accomodate people who it turned out literally didn't give a shit about me...even while it was happening i kind of recognized it but told myself it was giving me good karma. good karma was cleaning up after other people who would literally never clean up after me? what a fucking joke

also i think at this place in my career and mental health situation i really need to have a hybrid job. this one is fully remote and i think if i got my own place and was fully remote things would go downhill quickly. and i want to feel like part of a professional community in boston (or a different city i guess bc god and zoning do not want me to afford to live in boston) especially since health policy can be very local and connected

i should have been more thoughtful about my job search starting three or four months ago. instead i was like “just close your eyes and apply for something vaguely in your field to get the ball rolling, none of this matters” so i’ve applied to ~20 jobs that are relevant to me but without really carefully considering them. and now i’m stressing bc i’m getting moved to the second round of interviews for a job i don’t think i really want!!
