    The job ad I was looking at specified that there was no application deadline and that submissions would be considered on a rolling basis, beginning yesterday. I went to the online system today to create an account and submit my materials, because there is absolutely no way that a day's difference will matter as the search committee tries to wade through literally hundreds of applications. However, the system will not let me and is saying, contra the ad I was going off of, that applications actually closed yesterday.

    This is easily one of the best jobs that exists for people in my specialization this year.

    SUICIDE.

    That is kind of bullshit!

    I e-mailed their department secretary explaining my situation and asking if there's anything I can do to still be considered. She probably won't be in to work for another couple hours, though (west coast), so that is the minimum amount of time I get to spend in world-defining misery

    Drive to DC and hang out with me

    This plan cannot fail, it can only be failed

    alternately, apply to more jobs before they also pass and try to minimize the unfortunate extent to which I am a fuckup

    (but for real, if that will make you feel better, do it, I'm just sort of skeptical that "I'm such a fuckup I should apply for more jobs literally today" is super healthy)

    It's less a coping mechanism and more that I have to do it regardless of how I feel, because that was the first job of several which I have slated to send my materials to today; fortunately, it appears that the second was not also lying about its rolling submissions.

    But I shouldn't portray things too apocalyptically; I am indeed full of negative energy but will be fine. Sometimes life is just negative!

    Did the Descent DLC yesterday.
    It wasn't bad. A lot more difficult than the vanilla enemies. The Wellspring was a beautiful zone.
    Kind of sad the main deep roads portion was just a gauntlet to get to the second half and all we got was few lore books instead of any story line progression.
    Gonna work my way through the main storyline this week with Qunari-chan so I can try Trespasser.

    I'm really curious what percent of people did a first playthrough of this game with a Qunari. Hearing about it, it doesn't even seem close.
