    Just at work, when I say "Can't go on", I mean "Can't go on working in stressful conditions".

    But Since I can't get mucho dinero making pixel art yet... I gots to keep it up and go on.

    Yup, and as long as you keep staying on the fight side of fight/flight, you'll gradually reacclimate to a normal level of stress.

    Why does the internship need to be full time. No, seriously.

    For my second (and last) non paying internship that I had to do as a part of a program in college, I basically did the "interview" and told them "I have a job I need to do to help support myself two days a week." I interned full time Mon-Wedns, then Thurs-Fri I worked my existing job with my professor (for actual money)

    I didn't actually need to but my boss needed me and I was more than happy to not only fuck around in a dumb office just so I could pull three papers out of my ass at the end of the summer

    I know my particular circumstances were unusual since I had this job already and my professor wanted me around, but u kno, most people understand that unpaid internships cost money and that people need to make it somehow

    Hmm, yeah...

    I could apply at Tim's hortons maybe, then... get a couple days off the internship train making dough nuts...

    You need to do whatever the fuck you need to do to get gradually more independent. Because frankly dude...it's past time.

    I'm not saying it has to be Tim Horton's. Apply to other entry level office jobs. Qualifications requirements are often bullshit so even if you feel intimated friggin do it anyway.

    Just do it.

    also j8ke hav u heard about iphone 6 is best phone
    i went and looked at one sunday at the Apple Store in the galleria. Is it just me, or does the actual design of the phone leave something to be desired? I like the the look of the new HTC better but I would probably choose an iPhone 6 because of the interface and whatnot. Also the camera.

    it's fucking uglyyyyyyyy but I bought one anyway what is happen to me

    i think its design less distinctive that the i4 and i5.

    but still the best-looking this-gen phone on the market

    leaps and bounds better than all the android trash

    the iphone 5 is great looking, I love it

    the 6 looks like the iphone 1

    the new motorola phone that you can customize is p badass

    wooden phone yes pls

    Moto X and HTC One M8 are both very attractive phones.

    I like the iPhone better, but its ever-so-slight as opposed to the typical landslide.

    Motorola and HTC have really, REALLY upped their game over the past year or two.

    Samsung, on the other hand... their offerings look like stale cheap trash, even amongst android competitors, aside from their Galaxy Alpha, which looks not-so-surprisingly like an iPhone 5 with the squared metal chamfered edges and antenna bands.

    So glad their profits are dwindling in the face of better competition. Moto and HTC have figured out how to make and sell handsets without making every bit of their advertising about "the other guy"

    I am far too manly for the flu. The flu gets me.

    Also I just don't think about it. I've already gotten sick this year.

    I might get sick again when the temp really starts diving, but I tend not to hang with people with weak little bitch immune systems so we all just kick ass and don't get sick.

    This X1000.

    If you can use Word / Excel / Office and type 40+ WPM - which, being someone hanging out chatting on a video game forum you probably can do - you are qualified for most entry-level office jobs.

    Make up a resume, ask H&A for some advice tuning it up, and apply to every low level office job in your area - data entry, tier 1 call center, paper pusher, etc. Also, if there are any temp agencies in your area, apply there too so you can get some experience in the meantime to add to your resume.

    Nice thing about temp jobs is you can just quit if something better comes along.

    Having an actual job will actually reduce your anxiety and make you feel more empowered and in control.
    Head problems aside, a job is literally one of the fundamental requirements to be a functioning member of our society.
    It really all starts there. Get a job. Stop dicking around with projects until you have a job.

    Well, that makes it easier. Earlier you said you didn't know what makes you feel stress. But if it's only at work, and only when people give you tasks to complete, then you can work on how you interpret "being told to do something".

    I had a weird conversation with my boss' boss' boss' the other day.

    It was one of those things where two people who shouldn't talk end up waiting in a room so they have to talk.

    Me "How did the (problem) go"

    Him "It required (expensive solution)"

    Me "They didn't think they could (cheap solution)"

    Him "that doesn't exist"

    Me "yes it does. I have personal been involved with (cheap solution)."

    Temp jobs are great for entry level because they presume you can't find your own ass with GPS and a diagram. If you manage to show a level of competence even slightly above "vegetable" they'll be impressed.

    Also: volunteer jobs.

    My only reason for not getting the flu shot the years that I did not get it (like I said, roughly 6/10 in the past 10 years)

    Is that I did not stumble into a flu-shot-bearing needle and as a result never thought to get one

    It's like donating blood

    If they want me to do it so bad they really need to be more aggressive about it

    Not because I'm a jerk, but because I have no memory of my own that is not digital

    The only thing I truly like on that design over the 6 / 6 plus is the position of the speakers.

    Would be nice to have front facing stereo when playing games / watching movies without headphones.

    But it is still a sexy phone and if apple released something like that I would not be offended. Like I said, HTC and Moto did rull good this year.
