So I went in for an interview at Zales today. For context, I applied about two weeks ago on indeed, and they were the only company out of about a dozen I’ve applied to over the two weeks around then to show any interest in me. (One place let indeed give me a ‘sorry, they moved on without you’ email, and that’s all the feedback I’ve gotten). They had me fill out a second application on their personal company website (Signet, like every other major jewelry shop, apparently) and made me do 35 minutes of hypothetical situations on helping customers and asking if doing what is asked of me is enough for me (it’s enough for me, but that’s apparently the wrong answer).

They called me on Saturday (note: on the weekend) to schedule me for an interview. I picked Monday at 11 am. I live about half an hour from the mall, so I’m up two hours early to get ready and then drive there with extra time for traffic or anything else unexpected. I gel my hair, something I haven’t done since my junior prom (I’m in college now), iron my shirt, and head out.

I get to the mall about 10:35 and head inside at about 10:45. I find the store at 10:50, and tell the manager I’m here for an interview. He asks my name, I tell him, he notes it and goes to help some customers. I’m like “Oh, okay, that makes sense, this interview will probably be like fifteen minutes, that’s fine, I can wait.” So I wander around the store for ten to fifteen minutes because I’ve never actually been in there before because I can’t afford anything in there. The woman he was helping buys a ring worth over half my college loans for a year. Great. Then, finally he comes back to me.

“Hi, I’m the manager.”

We shake hands, I reintroduce myself.

“Oh, yeah, I’m sorry. I tried to call you earlier, but we actually canceled this interview. You don’t meet our company expectations, I’m sorry. You can reapply in six months.”

He shows me a paper where he notes my home phone number (I don’t give people my cell phone because it’s my personal phone and thus used only for personal reasons and I don’t want companies invading my personal life) and that it went to voicemail. “I didn’t want to call you on the weekend, but as soon as I got here I called you.” I smile and nod along because what else can I do, then leave to go back to my car.

I sit there for several minutes being pissed for several minutes, because what the fuck, why schedule me for an interview if you don’t want to interview me, send a lengthy complaint to my mother, and then drive off. At 11:10, my dad texts me that he just got a voicemail that they were canceling the interview from the house phone. (He’s at work, but the voicemails go to his cell phone somehow). I don’t see this, because I’m driving, and my 2013 Subaru doesn’t support voice texting, until I get home at about 11:30. At which point I get to tell him I know, the manager told me in person. But, the time of it also tells me that the reason I missed the call that my interview was canceled, actually, was because I was walking into the store for my fucking interview, and not because the manager called within the fifteen minute gap between when I was up and when my mother left for work at around 9 am, like I had assumed. It was also around then that I realized that I scheduled that interview on Saturday, aka on the weekend, so the manager’s excuse about not calling on the weekends was bullshit, because he already did it.

So yeah, thanks Zales, thanks Signet Jewelers, for wasting my time, effort, and gas, and for making me do all this stupid song and dance for you to not even do your half of it.

Solas was deeply humiliated first thing after he woke up from a thousand-year-long nap and he decided that one try was enough

(this was @thewritersramblings's fault, she's keeping me fueled with dragon age memes)

she's actually fairly indifferent to sex ... but she loves a good nap :)

Shortcuts (No Teaks' were harmed in the making of this fanart)

I learned about the fanart contest for Sea of Stars on tuesday and went a little bit insane thinking I wouldn't be able to make anything in time. I was... incorrect. Still have a week left or so.

Anyways, I wanted to make a fanart for this game anyways because it was absolutely my favorite game of last year and I will literally not stop talking about it if the topic comes up.
