Was supposed to do a test project of a job interview this weekend... but just looked at it... and mind went blank, brain tired, body tired of sitting at computer. Tired after week of intense working on the same kinda stuff.
Now going to flunk interview, got nothing to show them, and no ideas, will have to make it up as I go along. wish me luck. Really wanted this job...
- *for a*shapesalad
- Just tell them, and tell them before the interview. Don’t make an excuse, just get an extension. You have nothing to lose at this point.nb
- wing it man!renderedred
- It might not work. But some managers would prefer to see how you handle asking for an extension, if it were client worknb
- yes, what nb said. Just tell them life got in the way at the weekend and try to get an extension.microkorg
- If you try to bullshit your way through it they'll think that's your best effort which it obviously wouldnt be.microkorg
- no extensions given, choice can withdraw or go ahead...shapesalad
- been offered jobs paying almost 50% more without having to do a test project... so motivation is low on this...shapesalad
- if they ask tests even if you're an experienced worker, they have a shitty HR department and you should bail.grafician
- Don't even show up. It's over.StoicLevels
- Funny, I'm going through the same thing; test assignment for a job interview. And my own motivation levels are pretty low.Continuity

After watching the magic robot video Scarabin posted yesterday the recommended videos made me aware that there's a magician called Piff that dresses like a dragon and has the exact face of one of my good friends...
Sent it to him yesterday, let it settle a bit then sent it to my girlfriend last night who in turn sent it to his girlfriend this morning. This could be weeks of fun, thanks Scarabin!

Dear Nairn,
Fuck you.
I subbed to *that* Korean street food YT channel you've posted videos from in the Food thread.
And, now, not only can I not stop watching — constantly swallowing like an utter spacker, because I'm over-salivating, with my stomach absolutely shrieking with desire — but I've become obsessed with going to South Korea and eating myself senseless, until I'm a disgusting, waddling blob of rendered pork fat, melted processed cheese, and kimchi fumes.
That is, until I remember that 1) I'm unemployed, and am too skint to travel anywhere beyond Lake Starnberg on the S6 commuter train line, and 2) we're still in the middle of a pandemic, and travelling remains a total no-go.
Instead, I must stay home in my southern German flat, eating my meagre homemade Spam and kimchi fried rice (with a fried egg atop it), wondering ruefully at what might have been between spoonfuls, as that unctuous, runny egg yolk oozes amongst the grains of crisped, chewy rice.
So, fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you. Fuck. :(
PS: You know I love you, right? Good. Now, fuck you.
- Nikocado Avocado?NBQ00
- ahahaha! ah, just give in - i use YT to consume vicariously and my nightly watching of two or three korean food videos has kept me a sane recently!Nairn

So as an only child who grew up in the countryside and as someone who's worked alone for many years, I've always been the sort to natter on to myself when I'm on my own.
Since having a kid this has went up a notch - I have a constantly running monologue that is slowly becoming a dialogue with her as I fart around the house or push her around in the pram or whatever.
Since Covid my inane nattering to myself has gone into overdrive and my internal monologue keeps spilling out - for some reason my brain thinks that wearing a facemask shields my expressions, but they clearly do not. I really need to rein it in a bit. Turning a bit nutter.
- y'day I found myself exhaling "ugh, what is this stupid fucker doing?" and said stupid fucker turned around and stared at me because it wasn't just in my head.Nairn

"Another Round" is overrated. It's fine, enjoyable. Slightly quirky dramedy. Doesn't deserve an Oscar.

So tomorrow, I've got my dog-and-pony show creative test presentation for one agency (I finally managed to activate myself, and get a workable idea), Thursday afternoon I get my first AZ Covid jab, and Friday at noon I have a video interview with another agency up in Berlin.
Finally, stuff is happening in my life. But, frankly, the CVs-sent-to-reactions/interview... ratio in the last 15 months has been utterly fucking miserable. Christ.

My girlfriend and I have lived together for about 5 or 6 years. Dunno, I'm not the type that keeps count, and we're solid enough that we don't have to worry about numbers. About a month ago, she and her best friend set out on a sisters road trip, and I stayed behind to take care of the dogs. She's looking for a new place to live because she's sick of Seattle.
Round trip total will be around 5000 miles over the month, and every place that I was hoping would resonate with her has fallen through. Here's a middle finger to Austin, Texas. You had one job. Maybe it sucks now, I dunno.
Unfortunately her favorite place was my hometown, Birmingham. Middle finger to my old friends that I set up to host them. Y'all had one job.
She's also a former forester with a bunch of degrees, so she's also loving some bumfuck nowhere spots. I don't know if I'm down with homesteading. She's a Seattle lifer, so I get wanting to get out. She gets home tonight and I've missed her, but fuck if it doesn't feel like there's a massive storm brewing.
- Life’s short, just do it!nb
- I’m not entirely following. What happened in Birmingham and what did your friends do? Why is it her favorite and why is that an issue?monospaced
- If the sentence stopped at “bumfuck”, I would have been so scared. I wanted to be a forester growing up near Santa Cruzfuturefood
- @mono They showed her southern hospitality and she is under the impression that it's a charming, hidden gem of the south.garbage
- lol, gotchamonospaced
- I fucking hate Alabama and she now seems dead set on moving there.garbage
- @future Yeah she's a registered forester and used to do some really.. insane work that I can't discuss for NDA reasons. Now she wants to move to Alabama.garbage
- I never really do personal rants on here, but I'm fucking stressed out. She's in full uproot mode and I don't think I can do it.garbage
- If there really is a disconnect, perhaps she isn't recognizing the stress in you, or you aren't being forthright with your feelings about it.cannonball1978
- Maybe she's got some ideas about what might be a good place for kids to grow up... Maybe Birmingham? you turned out alright.monNom
- I don't know anything about your situation, but having been in the position of picking a new place to raise ours, I could only imagine places I'd been beforemonNom
- Just saying, there might be some unspoken/unrecognize... underlying motivations behind this big move.monNom
- Oh I've been very vocal about it. We're healthy and open with each other. It's just.. I hate my hometown as much as she hates hers.garbage
- @monNom Ha, I appreciate it. We're actually both antinatalists, so kids are not part of the equation. Ugh I'm gonna end up in the south though.garbage

Since I'm plugged in with all the local environmental groups in my city, I set up a garbage clean up for Earth Day. Recruited the orgs to recruit their own volunteers, and I got a list of places needing cleaning from the city.
We got about 360 volunteers out cleaning up garbage for a couple hours this weekend, got all the equipment donated for free, and the city carried the legal liability. All I had to do was send a handful of mass emails and set up a few phone conversations. Maybe about 20 hours of work on my part. Feels good :)
...oh and I didn't pick up a single piece of garbage myself! lol

my youtube feed has degraded into utter shite. i can't go two thumbnails without something offering to reveal a scandalous secret, a morbidly obese man eating garbage, or a fifteen-minute top-ten list i could have just read in seconds.

Yesterday I went to sleep totally decided to kill my username first thing in the morning. I literally got into my bed trying to remember the email address of the superior mod in charge of making accounts disappear.
I got really, really upset with the whole situation. Family, deepest feelings, anger... Even if virtually, I felt disturbed, and It really triggered the worst in me.
I really appreciate the words of those who had commented in the State of QBN post. I feel uncomfortable. It’s been more than 10 years since I made QBN one of my daily-basis-visited communities. I’ve made some friends, it’s helped a lot to make my shitty english a little less worse, and I won’t let anyone take that away from me, no matter how hurtful, disgusting and disrespectful anyone else can be.
Stay safe, be respectful, and hail Satan.

QBN has been mildly toxic at times for some time now. It's a bit heavy at times and I now stop myself from saying certain things because I know it's going to be ridiculed and downvoted for no reason.
I'm in other web communities, and the tone is lighter than here and people tend to be nicer than here.
We've been here for years and I think we've become like brothers who just keep annoying each other sometimes.
As you may have noticed, I have been much less present here for a few months. And the few times that I come back, there's always someone to remind me that it's not 100% fun coming to QBN.
I already hear your comments saying that I think too much or that I am too sensitive.
I dont know... I'll be very sad to quit QBN after so many years. It's been part of my life since forever.
