Lol, I wish school never ended. During school, I get to be away from my cranky parents, I get a free ipad, wifi, and all I have to do is take tests and do homework. At home, my parents turned off the wifi for no reason and also over the summer the school takes back the ipads. I wouldn't mind so much if my parents ever let me use the PC. Looks like it's the public library every day for me. :Trollestia: My parents have little say in what I do in my freetime outside of my house, fortunately.
Troll? Aww...I missed it. I needed a good lulz today. (Actually, that was kind of out of line. I'm sorry. Crappy day is crappy.)
Hehe. That's quite alright. You have a job to do, and I'm against giving trolls the time of day. I'd rather not get into specifics, since it delves into my personal life a bit, but I'm feeling drained after a job interview. I hate job interviews. I get hella nervous because I feel like the interviewers are scrutinizing every word I say. People keep telling me that I should loosen up and try to be friendly and such. I'm a painfully shy person. When I'm around new people, I don't speak unless spoken to and I more often tend to give short, vague answers. It's hard to be loose and outgoing when I'm nervous as all heck. "But, Quill, they just want you to be outgoing so they know how you'll be on the job." Not to sound like a reclusive jerk, but I don't go to work to have fun and chat with people. I go to work to work. If I don't make a single friend at my job, I'm okay with that. If I do make friends at my job, even better (and I've made my share of friends at the various places I've worked. Eight Star is one of them)! My resume should speak for itself. Can I do the work? Yes. Can I learn? Yes. I understand why they don't only factor in work experience, otherwise, no one could get an entry-level position, but I've been a temp for going on three years. At this point, I feel like my work performance should be able to speak for itself. I'd love one day to walk into an interview and say, "I'm qualified, I'm a quick study, and I'm not a psycho. May I please work for you?" /wall of text /belligerent jerk
Had my first 2 exams today. They both went pretty well. I also beat the first gym in my Pokemon Sapphire Nuzlocke run. Although one of my pokemon already died (sorry Rex).
You've described me. Except for the shy part..i just dont talk.Because people annoy me. "Do you want me to socialize or to get stuff done?"-Me.
I can't say I know how you feel, Quill, cause I'm just starting to search for jobs, but good luck. I gotta go, but I'll be thinking of ya'all, okay?
^ Thanks! Truthfully, job hunting isn't as terrible as I make it sound. It was easy for me to get jobs in the private sector, it's just the State that I'm having trouble with. Exactly. I'm glad that I'm not alone.
Ohay, looks like I have a few more mins. Oh, oh, okay, I am just about to be BRILLIANT!! What if we made a separate thread in the general discussion area where ponies who have personal problems could go and unburden themselves, and other ponies who are feeling great could help cheer them up and listen to them! I think it sounds like a wonderful plan! How 'bout you gaiz?
Me and a few others have suggested a serious discussion sub-forum for topics like that. It hasn't been passed though. And probably for good reason. Anyone's welcome to create a thread asking for advice/help/consoling. It's better than having one thread that contains every problem. Each problem is different and requires a different approach, so each topic is better off having its own thread rather than piling all the problems into one thread.
Hm... no. Too fluffy. EDIT: @Dogski Nope. There's a rule preventing the existence of depressions threads.
My bad. I forgot that rule. Well help threads are allowed. Although that is slightly different to a depression thread. It also took me a while to realise that Dogski was me. I'm such an idiot.
I like the idea. And you're aloud to make that sort of thread if it has a meaning (like "Help") aren't you? I thought that was just for those threads we were getting where the OP wasn't looking to solve the problem- just tell us 'bout it.
Basically this, I think. One thread I came across was where someone had made a mistake that cost them quite a bit of money. They came here for advice on how to correct the mistake and how to feel better about it. I'm pretty sure stuff like that's allowed. But if you just post to express your hate towards humanity, without asking for help, then it's not allowed.
