Side note, I discovered the magic of going to the gym and just walking on the treadmill or an hour or so(which I totally recommend, I tend to get really unhealthy attitudes about working out but also get really depressed if I don’t have movement) and I’m open to recommendations of things I can watch while I do that! I’d love to maybe specifically try a new anime if any of y’all have any you like (preferably that are on Netflix or Hulu), because they tend to make me feel energetic ahaha

WHY IS EVERYTHING PART TIME
applying to jobs in nyc:send out fifty applications, hear back from one (1) in an automated rejection email. there are subway rats with better qualifications than you.
applying to jobs in a smaller city: send out a handful of applications, maybe you’ll hear from– oh god. they are calling you. you have three interviews. you still have to call half of them back. two emails just came in from companies that saw your resume online. you have impressive experience. you are overwhelmed with Choice.
So the temp/recruitment agency I have my current job through called me this morning because I posted my resume on a job board and I’m so intensely creeped out
Man I love how my health insurance options are:
-have no coverage and get fined
-pay a tenth of my total income and also the first $3000 of any medical attention I receive besides preventative screenings and immunizations
-pay a fifth of my income and have more exceptions to a smaller $1000 deductible
He REALLY likes having free range
I’m still not sure if I want to leave my current job an go back to retail, but I have a job interview Sunday and I’m really excited
A college friend of my wife’s has been staying with us for his spring break and I fell like such an old grump, first because he’s two years younger than my wife, and so four years younger than me, and second because HE’S SUCH AN UNGRATEFUL CHILD OH MY GOD.
Like, I understand my wife and I haven’t been the best hosts, because of our jobs and my wife’s health, but he knew both of those were factors before he came. And we’ve been trying our best to keep him entertained while he gives us no help or suggestions to guide us, and we’ve paid for everything while he’s been here and he hasn’t even really thanked us? Even when we went to the mall yesterday and bought him stuff he didn’t actually say thank you. And he’s been super obnoxious about food, we’ve been trying to get what he wants and likes but again, he won’t really tell us, BUT THEN HE COMPLAINS ABOUT IT. I don’t know if it’s more frustrating when we cook for him (and tell him what we plan to make and ask if it’s okay) or go out (we tell him what we can about restaurants and he agrees to them).
And I reached my breaking point yesterday because he asked me to cut his hair while he’s here and I said yes without really thinking, and then he got super pushy about it and kept trying to get me to do it, and I did but like, haircuts are a thing you normally compensate people for? I wouldn’t want him to pay me, especially since I’ve only even cut my own hair and my wife’s, but being expected to do it for nothing when we’ve already paid for his every meal for nine days and are giving him a free place to stay bothers me.
My Tax Return Keeps Getting Rejected and Someone Stole My Gas Cap: Tales from a snowy and chaotic March
There are so so many very nice things about my current job, but it’s also so bad for me in a few big ways, so I talked to my wife and I’m applying to some retail positions
