There are few things in the world I despise more than having to eat in front of complete strangers
Just makes me an anxious mess and I cannot deal
I hate it too. If I'm on a first date or something where I'm making a first impression the biggest factor in what I order is what will make the least amount of possible mess.
Just imagine if those people also had misophonia, then you'd really be in trouble.
Nothing. Matters.

So I've been applying to jobs and the other day I got a reply
Guy offers me a job through email being his executive assistant. I'd get paid $400 a week plus $50 a week for gas money to run various ill-defined errands like 'sending out packages' and 'managing finances' and 'calling associates'.
Also he can't meet me because he's in the Bahamas right now on business.
This job seems on the up and up. I think I'm gonna take it.

the only employees doing any actual work were me and two other first-year university students on our summer break
on our first day, our first assignment was to steal furniture from the empty office suite across the hall, because we didn't have a table for our meeting room; supposedly the landlord gave us permission to do this
the only other employees we met were the two co-owners; they claimed to have some friends who would be joining the company "soon"
one of the co-owners spent half the summer away "contracting in the Maldives"
the other co-owner came in to the office a couple of times a week, but he only ever wanted basic status updates and seemed to have no technical understanding of what we were working on
I'm pretty sure we were a front for something, but I have no idea what
Some guys came in wanting to buy a windowless delivery van she was selling.
Avoided giving names, insisted on paying cash, claimed to be teamsters from Chicago. When she insisted on more than they had, the one told the other to get "the money from that thing last week".
just over two months at this job. getting stress/anxiety chest pains because yes, it is that bad. four more to go before i can start applying for jobs.
What are the issues? Are they asking too much of your time?
A manager who manages by emotional abuse, tantrums, and unreliability. Fortunately, he let me go this morning, so now I'm looking for work.

The side of my desk is not a place for you to do your homework. I am sitting here and working.
No you cannot use my computer for a minute.
My desk is also not something you sit on.
Sorry my Nerf gun shot you in the eye.

Sass. Sass. Hey, Sass.
My mom lives 10 hours away, could you help me with laundry? I'm worried, I'm going to ruin my favorite shirt. Also, can you check my homework over for me?
Thanks. I'm going to go play with my friends, call me when dinner is ready.

My interview at Macy's went well today. I might be a makeup counter girl or perfume girl, the manager really seemed to like me, I just need to hear back.
The sorta bad news is, I did not get an interview for the internal project leader job that I applied to. The super very good news is, apparently me applying for a project leader job set into motion a chain of events, culminating in me being handed a project to lead under the care and tutelage of one of our experienced delivery managers. So now I'm making a project plan. Fancy!
Also unrelated to that, they gave me an unexpected raise.
This is the most exhilarating my job has felt in years.
Work at rockefeller institute! Or any other pure research institute. They are kinda crazy, but they don't have undergrads. Warning though, your problems with professors that are inept at everything but their field will grow a thousand-fold. Those places are great for science, but they do breed some odd insularity.

Just completed a round of 20+ performance reviews for all of my Developers. Some great suggestions to improve our efficiency and overall everyone enjoys working here and feels like I'm doing a great job.

Wow, just like that? Crazy!
that's the best word you could have possibly chosen.
thanks everyone - things are looking up for the moment. There's a networking night tonight and I have several promising leads. Hoping to land on my feet.

Yeah man, I'm sorry to hear things turned shitty there for you, but I'm sure something (hopefully not insane) will turn up for ya soon! As someone whose career in games is just starting to really open up, I can personally guarantee it's worth at least a bit of shittiness to get there.

She swears to this day she sold a van to the mob.

They do!
Because there are always snacks left in the office so moochers will just show up every day hoping for sweets.
I work at a university.

Oh I know but I can hardly believe how immature and seemingly helpless the students you have to deal with are.
You know they have places you can do that, right?
I would like to state, again, that I love my graduate students.
Maybe my next job should be at some magical place where there are only graduate students and no undergrads can set foot in the office.
Also unrelated to that, they gave me an unexpected raise.

at 9.30pm in rural cornwall? nah, they don't. Not edible ones, anyway.
Wow, just like that? Crazy!
Feels good man.

I wound up with a 50-pack of oatmeal raisin walnut cookie the other day. I have about 30-35 left.
They're not that good but I'm sure a cross-country and cross-Atlantic trip would make them better. That's how cookies work, right?
