#job apps....

"applicants should submit a cover letter and list of at least 3 references" okay well counterpoint. what if I came to your doorstep with eyes the size of oranges and a face that even a kicked puppy couldn't rival and you just gave me the job because you felt bad. what about that

hc Chuuya may complain about Dazai endlessly but i bet if Dazai put him down as a reference for a new job and Chuuya was called to confirm he'd fucking sell Dazai like he was employee of the year

Chuuya, getting a call on a random Thursday: hello, i'm calling to speak to Chuuya Chuuya: this is him speaking caller: i'm calling from xyz firm to confirm Dazai's employment history Chuuya: ...uh. yes. ofc. Dazai is one of the best...workers i've ever had the pleasure of...working with

caller: i heard you've been working together since business school Chuuya: ??? BUSINESS SCHO— uh yes. Dazai was one of the smartest students there. um for sure. he was made for finance caller: did he not specialize in marketing? Chuuya: Chuuya: well. he's multitalented

caller: is this Dr. Nakahara? Chuuya: doctor??? caller: apologies, is this not the right person? i'm calling to speak about a colleague of his, Dr. Dazai Osamu? Chuuya: Chuuya: righttt. doctor. Nakahara. that would be me

Dazai applying for random jobs that he doesn't actually have any credentials for yet somehow passing the stages of recruitment so Chuuya's always thrown off when he gets called to confirm bc wdym Dazai told you in his interview we were CO-RESEARCHERS in MED SCHOOL??

Back in 2014, my friends and I met this seagull who couldn't really squawk, just mew. We named him(?) Mew and he was our favorite bird from that day ❤️

Cellbit: Absent mother, huh? Thank God that I am a- uh… It's better to not touch this subject and move on. In my defense, my son is dead… To my knowledge.

the company i work for decided that its switching from the german formal "You"(Sie) to the informal "you" (Du) in all of our websites so now we have to scour the entire database to change it and i quite frankly hate that, not just bc the unecessary extra work but especially bc its such a weird and unecessary change

i bet its bc everything here is getting englishfied (both literally and culturally it feels like, when my new boss talks its half in english bc every second german word is just replaced by an english one despite there being perfectly fine words for it in german too, its so annoying) and bc they want to sound more personal in hopes of getting more clients bc 'company is your fwiend uwu!!', i know this here is the amercian tm site so you wouldnt understand really but i do not want to be greeted with 'du' by companies, no, thats too personal, you dont know me and im not giving you my data, stay away!!

i guess thats how i would describe it .. the formal you is like a polite distance, like someone you dont know staying outside your personal space, but when its the informal 'you' it feels invasive unless i told you you can call me that, and that goes double for companies

maybe its a small thing that doesnt seem important but i cant stand it, im just a little part time worker doing data work so i got no say in it but the companies founder also announced hes giving his post to his kids some time ago so ...... since then theres been alot of changes and new projects that solely aim to imitate whats popular and whats done by other companies, despite ours being one that is, or used to be, intentionally different, like, that was the POINT, but i guess chasing trends is just too appealing for CEOs

tumblr i don't have a problem with weird kink adverts in theory but how are you going to justify deleting sex workers for titty pics and ban trans ladies for breathing because apparently that's sexual harassment and then show me the adverts that you do

people come and people go, but i stay (ghostride)

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

i swear to FUCK if i have upload ONE more resume to a fucking company that DEMANDS that file names have to be under 50 characters i will go fucking INSANE. let me upload my applications as '*my first name and last name* resume 2024 fresh food team member *maybe the job number goes here* woolies *enter location here*', for example. i am SO FUCKING SICK AND TIRED of application software not letting me upload my cover letters and resumes like this and DEMANDING that file names MUST be under 50 characters otherwise they wont upload. im sorry but it's how i fully distinguish between my application files. fuck you.

This really doesn't have to go on main but I'm putting it here for now:

So uh. Job hunting online for retail positions is definitely an experience. I saw a part time position listing for an office supply store and I think to myself, good! Not a restaurant! I can do office supplies! So I submit the resume/application and then get to the "great, thank you for that! Here are some multiple choice answer questions ranging from word association to number sequences to math problems!"

And I think to myself "great! I'm good with numbers and math and I should be okay associating basic words for this lovely RETAIL POSITION" and then I get the quick and easy practice questions. Wonderfully easy. I've got this. It's neverending and you just have a 10minute time limit to answer as many as possible! No problem!

Then I click "begin" and get slammed with the most ungodly whiplash with the first question being word association about "which of these four words is DIFFERENT" and the options were STRANGLE, PUSH, THROTTLE, and SUFFOCATE.

Hey, uh. Hey retail job. You uh. You okay there? I have some concerns and it was the first question.

u ever hear someone pronounce a word SO wrong that ur supposed to be having a conversation but u just look like this

[sesamestreep]

I am by no means an expert on the subject at all, but if I could give one piece of advice to people who are job hunting, it is to always save a copy of the description of any job you apply for. It’s getting RIDICULOUS out there (at least in my experience/industry) in terms of how long between when a job gets posted and when they start contacting applicants for interviews, and unless you have a photographic memory, or the job is still active on the website you found it on, you will forget details about the job before you get invited to interview and it’s probably not a strong sign if you ask the interviewer what the heck the job is again (even if it’s fair given the elapsed time and how many applications people expect you to have going at once).

If it’s not already available in PDF format, just click the print option on your browser’s menu when you’re on the webpage with the job listing and when it gives you the window with the printer specifications, select “save as PDF” on the dropdown of available printers instead and save it to the same folder where you’re saving your cover letters/resumes/application materials with the name of the company/job title/date you applied in the file name. easy peasy. I still forget to do this occasionally but even remembering to do it half the time has saved me a lot of trouble overall.

job hunting sucks and is demoralizing on the best day, so keep your head up, do little things like this to make your life easier, and remember that I love you 💖 you got this!

Guilty Gear XX♯Reload Comic Anthology Translation: Escape Boy

This is a comic the Guilty Gear XX Sharp Reload Comic Anthology, which I wanted to start translating. The original scans of this comic are by @tillman and can be found on archive.org

By the by, since I don’t have a Japanese folk tale to link to, I’d like to add the fact that in this comic (from 2003) Bridget’s serre-tête has the trans symbol instead of the male symbol. This is off-model for her XX design and (given the other times she is seen in the anthology) this seems to be a purposeful choice by the artist. Make of that what you will.

You can read the previous translation here

And the next translation here

​​Usual disclaimer: I am not fluent in Japanese and all of this is a one Fia job so everything might not be 100% accurate but I always try my best!
