do i really want to make individual drinks again
#reaching back into the file cabinets of my mind to remember how i made certain drinks when i worked at the cafe#in preparation for the possibility of this new job#it would certainly mean far less goofing off time than i have at my current job. and i value my goofing off time dearly#but the people here are so fucking annoying lmao. i hate them soooo much#not that the people at this new job would be any better. we're still dealing with investment bankers#godddddd. what i really would want (which would be impossible)#would be to go back to working at the cafe but like. still have paid time off and insurance lmao#but the cafe was a small business and he was not offering paid time off and insurance. and the pay was way less#but i did get to play whatever music i wanted. unfortunately you cant live on that#like i can always say no to this new job if its offered to me. but is my goofing off time worth:#2 dollars less in pay and a half hour to an hour's more commute. well i dont know#a shorter commute would mean i could sleep more. and have more time at home .#i mean i probably don't Need all this goofing off time. but its nice#i dont knowwwwwww#like even though im a bit nervous abt doing it again i know that i would easily fall back into the routine of making drinks#which i was fairly good at. my one drawback is that i cant do latte art but i dont know that theyd really care here#and (because i found the menu of where id work) theres not a ton of drink options?? just the standard stuff#its being called a starbucks cafe but 1) its not managed by them and 2) it does not have their 5 billion drink options#so thats good. less to worry about#doesnt look like i even have to make anything foodwise which i had to at the cafe#here it looks like people can just buy a pastry and thats it#the hours are like. the same i work now. also good#sorry im like using this post to think through my thoughts.#uhhhh oh i looked up the manager who looks like a weenie so im not keen on the prospect of interviewing with him#but i probably would have thought that about my current manager if id seen a pic of him prior to interviewing. i guess???#and with these kind of catering units it seems you dont often deal directly with the manager that much anyway#i just gotta see if i get good vibes#rn i have unsure vibes. but i need a sign to see if this could be good for me#oh id also save money on transportation. and taxes! bc i wouldnt be working in ny anymore#lol oops tag limit. well i hope you enjoyed my job thoughts you probably didnt i know i didnt

#job interview tomorrow#really its just to confirm i can do what i say because it's an internal maternity cover contract#but im still nervous#don't want to do poorly in front of colleague/potential new boss#but you know how its kinda harder to prepare for behavioural interview questions when you know a lot of detail about the job#wood for the trees and all that#so fingers crossed#role is till end of the year and hopefully something more permanent might come up in that time#personal#not fandom

Speaking of adaptations I will probably watch while in recovery, given it looks like L&Co aged up the characters, I wonder if they adjusted the talent loss timeline or if the characters are that much closer to aging out. Lucy might be ok but hopefully the others are polishing their resumes. Probably not though.
#Lucy interviewing for her job: how does your agency handle post-retirement planning#Lockwood: oh we've got that all planned out!#George is going to be a researcher and I am going to be dead :)#Lucy: do you support any other career tracks or is that it#I should probably reread hdm and pjo in preparation...#spring/summer is going to be my Middlegrade Madness Marathon#maybe I should really commit to the MG bit and also watch the Animorphs tv show#I hear it's dreadful#lockwood and co

Not me crying because I had a really bad beginning of 2023 and signed up for a program that would proceed to make the rest of my 2023 rough and I spent the whole first three months of 2023 trying to pick myself up and motivate myself like "I'm gonna make it through this year if it kills me" and well look at that I made it
#timeline for anyone not in the loop:#Late 2022: Moved a thousand miles from home to Oregon for a new job. I love LOVE the area.#new job gives me very nice salary so I get myself a nice apartment all to myself#January 2023: Company I moved for decides to close Oregon location. Offers me choice to relocate again to CA this time#*panic because I can't afford my apartment without that salary and I'm still on a lease for 7 more months. Also I love Oregon so much*#*continue to panic because there are no other companies nearby doing that same type of niche work so I'd be giving up my career if i stay*#February: Ultimately decide to stay in OR and figure it out. Look into my options#March: Sign up for an accelerated program to learn software engineering#Interview for it and get accepted. Take out loan to pay rent so I can stay in apartment where I'm settled and comfortable and can focus#My last day at my old company comes and I am officially unemployed#April: Start the program. Most bootcamps are 3 months. This one is 7-8 months. Up to 11ish if you struggle and need to repeat some sections#It's like 70-80 hours a week of commitment to both classes and homework#Mentally prepare myself for the rest of 2023 to be hell and possibly early 2024#Still no idea how well I'll pick up software engineering so I might struggle and take up to 11 months#May through November: thankfully it turns out I'm really good at picking up the logic. I successfully complete in 7 months#December: My brain shuts down for a bit to rest and recover. Still unemployed but feeling optimistic and ready to hit the job hunt#Bring it on 2024. Bring it on#mine#memories

#the sadness of the former definitely outweighed the happiness of the latter for a few days lol i was ANGSTYYYY#now gotta focus on the opportunity i have and try to ace it#i can apply to the first place again in a year anyway so i'm TRYING to get some sense of hope from that#at least the next interview stage at the second place means going abroad and doing tests in person aka i get to travel on a plane YAY :)#if i can get my adhd ass brain into shape i will actually be spending the next month preparing for the tests#somehow#i need to tame my rabid relentless chaotic obsession with getting my dream job#and turn it into a laser focused weapon of determination and drive#because i WILL do this no matter fucking what#i've also booked a flight lesson for next week (!!!) as a pick me up after all the bs going on recently :D#RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED for it cos who can be sad about life when you're flying thru the sky <3#also wanna see if i can get any fun ATC-related insider info and nerdery from the instructor etc#i hope they can tell me how to get into the control tower...#atc

How to find a job that doesn't make me despair to live
#I LOVE the library but i've been part time for two years and i am not making enough to support myself lmao#i am very fortunate to have a lot of savings but i live alone in an apartment i signed for when i had two jobs and now that my income is#cut in half things are rough#and i have interviewed a dozen times or more for a promotion to full time and they aren't budging#and then yesterday one of the managers was micromanaging me and my shitty coworker was mocking my menial tasks lol#bc he is info staff and i am just lowly circulation so i have to keep my head down and shelve the books i guess?? even tho he doesn't do#jack shit and gets paid double what i do and is full time#like i got scolded and told to stop preparing for my presentation that is tonight bc i should have been making sure the books were in the#right order on the shelves lmao#meanwhile this guy has been booking vacation flights all morning#and even if i get full time and even though i work at a comparatively VERY well paying library#im still not going to make much#i have a degree in journalism and communications that im not using bc that shit made me feel dead inside#and i wanted to do something that mattered#but the things that mattered are not paying my bills or buying me a new winter coat or allowing me to do things like get a haircut or buy#clothes that i like or go out with friends or start new hobbies#and im just like is it worth it??? is this worth it???#like im not desolate or anything but i deny myself things every day bc im fine now#but i dont know how much longer i have to make the money stretch#and im tired#i just wanted to do something real that helped people#every day i get to work around books and talk about books and help people access social services#i helped a kid with homework and an elderly lady access job resources and showed a kid his favorite book series that he got so excited#about that he yelled all in the same day and it was fantastic#it mattered#but#is it worth it???#this was the dream i worked so hard for and now im looking at all that hope and effort like. this didn't save you either#idk yall its rough out here#me

i am sitting here staring intently at my half-assed word document hoping that it writes and edits itself 😭
i hate writing academic summaries of my work. because it means i have to cram all my findings and thoughts and analyses in a 15 minute speech in a way that no one finds any loopholes in it and asks me about them. also. it would be better for me to write in english. all my sources are in english, all my critical literature is in english, i think about the topic in english. but no. so, despite the possibility of making mistakes bc i'm not a native, i'd still be more confident about myself speaking english. but polish? just kill me already because everything i wrote so far seems extremely cringy to me. idk how that is but i get more brave when i use english and i feel utterly useless speaking my first language
#my uni is like 'yeah we want a summary of everything till september and you'll have a lot more space to talk abt your thesis'#'but you also have to do a presentation 3 months prior to that and no one has any guidelines how it should look like bc it's our new idea'#i hate not being able to prepare properly#i know how conferences and job/project interviews look like. but this?#yes i'm venting bc I'm stressed af abt it#these people are probably not interested by things i want to analyse so it feels like the difficulty is a bit higher#peeps at a conference interested mainly in the 18th-century felt more welcoming to me

It's not too late to start being kind to yourself today 💕✨️ but i hope tomorrow is a better day for you if today wasn't so great 💖
So sweet of you to say that 🥺 I'm afraid I've already fallen into that vicious "I can't do this" cycle so today's lost, but as I said, maybe tomorrow will be better
#i need to prepare a 15 minute teaching ''sample'' for the job interview tomorrow#and i'm actually full-on panicking about it every 10 minutes#i'm probably just trying too hard and should just keep it simple#because i was told they mostly want to see my teaching style etc.#but i feel so self-aware about the fact i've never taught on this level#of course i had never taught on high school level either until i did but that's totally different#on high school courses they have pre-selected course books that the teacher should utilize in their teaching#in uni they obviously don't have that#i had to teach a ''bookless'' content learning course in my previous school and it was a total disaster and i was so stressed out#which doesn't really make me feel any better about this job tbh#if i can't put together one 15 minute sample then how could i put together a whole fucking course from scratch?#i'm just not qualified enough i can't do this i can't do this i can't i can't i can't#this is not a feeling it's a fact supported by evidence#that's the problem with my life: i don't have enough good experiences to convince myself that i got this#no feelings of success equals to no feeling of being good enough#this goes for almost everything in my life btw not just work stuff 🤷♀️#anon asks#answered asks

#going for a second interview at this company feels a lot like religion at this point#namely: you can't prepare because they don't do it like other people#you have no fuckin clue what they're gonna say who's gonna be there what questions they'll ask what they care about#& have no idea how much if any you'll be able to talk#& when you're done you will likely have no idea how you did#i went in like the last day of january & they only called me back now#but it was one of the co-owners instead of hr asking me if i'd found a job yet & asking me to come in#so i will#i had given up on it frankly#don't want to get too invested so we shall see if anything happens#(i say that & yet i'm spiraling inside with all sorts of paranoias about our relationship & the shortness of life & the question of kids#idk.#in a lot of ways the last few years feel like they've turned me on my head & i have no idea who i am anymore or what i want#i have moments of passion & determination but not many & it often feels pointless#i feel helpless to do any of the things i really want to#maybe money will change that & maybe not#all i know is i need a change but i'm terrified of it all the same#i wish i could get over existentialing to death in every phase of my life#and not realizing how good it is/appreciating it until it's over

have filled six and a half pages of an a5 notebook for job interview potential questions and ideas for answers so far and my hand hurtsssss and the nerves are reallllllll
#it's like i am shitting myself but in a way that it's like. i'm not shitting enough?#i think this is the stress level that normal people get but it's like. that's weird for me. a stressed person.#maybe i've hit my limit. i have so much to do i can't care enough about getting this job lol#idk. it's like i have prepared SO little up until now that i really am just putting faith in my own ability#and that's it's own type of scary but also freeing?? like i haven't had a chance to put the right effort in so i can only be me?#and if i flunk it then i will be better next time considering this can literally just be practice#god. i mean w/ less than 24 hours notice when i still have to teach that's rough right? i hope they're chill about it#and bc i am LITERALLY right now at that school doing the job they'd be hiring me for that they like. forgive nerves and shittiness#and give me the job anyway?? fingers fucking crossed eh#god i hope they're easy questions. as i understand it i'll get the questions a bit before to prepare? which is like. both good and bad.#that's more pressure. oh man. okay so this tag ramble has gone too long and i am cutting myself off to sleep.#or at least to somehow find interview appropriate clothing in my wardrobe bc idk how to look presentable anymore 🫠#my post tag

Here are some simple questions you can ask in an interview when they ask you "So do you have any questions?" (Hint: Always ask a question)
Why is this position open? (Lets you know if the work environment is toxic bc the last person quit cuz they couldn't take it anymore. It's open because the workload increased/the company grew is a good sign--not only are they successful, but they hire new people instead of just working their current employees to death.)
What are the primary goals/measurements of success for this position? Ie, what you have to do to get a "good job/thumbs up, you're doing your job. (Lets you cut to the core of what the job actually is for your own information and demonstrates you're interested in doing a good job.)
What do you think will be the hardest part of the job? and/or What do you think are the most essential skills to have for this position? (Gives you a chance to follow up with saying how you have those skills/are good at the hard part/are prepared to do a good job/are well suited for the challenge.)
What do you (the interviewer) like and dislike about working here? (Gives you more insight into the working environment, gives them a chance to be introspective, gives you a chance to follow up with saying why you think you're a good fit for the working environment.
Very last/if you don't have any other questions: Do you think there's anything else I should know? and When can I expect to hear back from you? (leads into the natural conclusion by discussing timetables and the next steps of the interview process.)
Bonus: If there's anything you think is particularly cool about the work there, especially if it's something you went to school for, let your enthusiasm bleed through a little bit and/or ask more questions about the technical stuff, it will probably win you points. If you can fake it that might work too.
