I put my fist through a door, but that was cause I was locked in my classroom after lectures were over on a friday on the first day at a new school.
Woah! Did you actually knock a hole through the door?!
Such Strength!

Did you fall asleep in class? Or was that a result of cunning bond-villain-esque scheme?

Slapping might be cliche but it works when I need to get it together.

No was just slow in packing my stuff.
They actually wanted my parents to pay for the door originally. Then nothing really came of it.

I occasionally slap myself when I think I've screwed up. A couple weeks ago, though, I punched myself hard. Like, to the point that I started bleeding. (I don't even remember why I was so upset at myself anymore) Thank God no one noticed…

This made me wonder: can one physically kick one's own ass ?
I mean I have super bendy joints (so much so I can reach any part of my back and can semi-dislodge my shoulder joints when turning my hands backwards) but I'm talking about others :P

I'd say Fight Club proves that it's totally possible. :ninja:
And dislodging your shoulder? Oh, God! I don't even want to think about that. It's never happened to me, but I think my Tae Kwon Do teacher has had dislocated both shoulders before, which gives me the impression that it's going to happen to me someday.

One midterm down, another one to go.
I studied up the wazoo, and surprisingly….the history exam was not that hard. First part was identifying 10 terms, needless to say I rushed through in like 2 minutes.
Then the rest of the test was an essay. Our professor gave us the four possible choices beforehand, and I was so glad WWI was one of the topics. I thought that was the easiest to write about. (possible topics were Wilson and WWI, black-white relations from Reconstruction, the progressive era, and industrialization/incorporation, only the first three were choices on the test)
I don't want to toot my own horn and jinx it all but.....if nothing else, I felt in control.
Doubt my calc test tomorrow will be the same way, but we'll see!

It's more like I put my arm backwards and to the side. Then when I move it forward the joint pops up and then back into place. Is totally painless and means I can basically do a 360 with my arms. dasuyan

confessions in the day thread and sex in the confessions thread. it's like Trafalgar Law switched the threads' personalities for awhile. :ninja:
rolls around I don't feel a will to do anything lately. I was doing pretty good this semester but I'm already feeling like running out of steam. who here wants to help me write papers about mythology and meta criticism? also I need to see a play and I can't find any that fit the requirements that will be playing before Thanksgiving. fuck.

Try not to take reliable transportation for granted; it can be gone in an instant. The sad thing is this could have been so easily avoided. Car is almost completely useless at the moment (won't go above 12 mph, reverse brake does not work). I'm pretty sure what happened is my car ran out of gas, then I tried to keep driving it to the gas station, and that caused all the problems I'm currently having with it. From what I've heard from a bunch of people, if I'm lucky it's the fuel pump, which will cost $500. But it could also very likely be the transmission (that's at least partly the problem, I'm sure), in which case the repairs would be so expensive that I'll just buy a new car.
I don't either, piratemarimo. The whole day looks kind of gloomy. Days with weather like this usually sap my energy.

Well, another crappy day… hopefully this doesn't become a regular thing again.:ninja:

I actually do headbutt walls and stuff, when I remember past experiences.

Job interveiw thing next Tuesday. It feels like a light at the end of a long dark tunnel, even though the job might end up being just another long dark tunnel. Either way, it's a mine and there's money in it. Maybe not gold, but money. Wishing myself the luck.

Woah. I barely remember the days when my history exams were anything less than writing a couple of essays in an unfairly short amount of time. Straightforward questions in a history exam … ? It's like a whole new world :O
Wait I don't even study history anymore ...
Good luck with the maths!

Good luck with that! Hope the job does turn out to be a relief too. I'm currently looking for something like that as I'm unemployed and having the benefits system guilt trip me about it on a weekly basis.

My history finals at uni involved two essays and five-out-of-fifteen mini-essays that were analyses of specific sources: what the source was, what it showed us, how biased it was, etc.

Thankies. I know about your situation and hope you do end up finding something as well. It's at times like these I seek out ways to keep myself occupied or happy(like writing/drawing, playing affordable indie games), rather than constantly feeling like I'm unwanted in the job market. I'm just glad I lasted this long. So keep in there.
But yeah. I'm not assured of anything yet. But I'm crossing my fingers.

Good luck, I know the feeling of going to interviews and it just seeming to be a pre-rehersed pantomime where the ending's already set down.

Cool, how did the interview go then? :)

I'm currently waiting on a phone interview. They said they'd call yesterday at 4:30pm or maybe a bit later so I cut short a meeting with a friend to be home by that point, but they then didn't call all evening, and I missed going with friends to a fireworks display because of it. They contacted me again this morning to say they'd been a mix-up and asked me when I'd be free to take the call today. They then told me they'd call at one of those times. Cue me now being afraid to do anything remotely involved in case they call and I miss it.

Oh, dear! That's not fun at all. Hopefully they'll actually call you at the earliest time, so you won't have to fret about it for the rest of the day and just relax.

Wasn't an interview, just sent some stuff to a local radio due to them asking for it on account of them having some openings.

Ohh, they better call you today! Something similar happened to my younger sister applying to work at some restaurant; they said they'd call her, but they never did. Then she'd call them and they would say they'd look over her application again. This lasted over two months until she finally gave up on them. I think she said something about applying to some bagel shop down the street the other day, though…

I think you should suit up, go to their office and cause mass destruction.

I'm sorry to interrupt you guys (hope you get the phone call as soon as possible, Print!), but I just found the most amazing thing ever. Behold, the beauty of this thing!
-
Yeah, I'm used to companies fobbing you off like that by saying they will but then not doing so. However, in this case these were the ones trying to schedule the initial call, so it's less likely they're just reluctant to say I've not qualified. Ah well. I'm sure they're not on this forum reading this, because they have nothing to do with One Piece*.

I got the call at last. It wasn't an interview, it was a surprise test. I'd only just come out of the shower after having been out in the cold rain earlier, and my mind went totally totally blank, so even though something was on my CV, I couldn't remember the most basic details of it, especially since it was all being done over the phone. So I failed badly, and it was also insinuated I was lying on my CV. I feel an utter fraud now and am trying not to hate myself for letting me down but it's difficult.

But you didn't lie on your CV, right? So don't feel down.
As someone who has bombed more phone interviews than I want to recall, I feel that a phone screen is a very sensitive thing. Not only can you be distracted by the smallest thing in a phone interview as opposed to a physical one, you also have to deal with not being able to fully explain your thought process as well as you can in person.
You are not a fraud.
You are greater than one interview. -

You have nothing to feel ashamed of. If anything it was their fault for screwing around with you for so long.

I got a call from a different group who want to put me forward for a few roles. They also gave me a heads up that one of the roles would have a phone test in exactly the subject I just failed a phone test in.
And now I am convinced the universe is trolling me.

So today I had to face the complainers at my academy for the first time since I sent out the strict email (and then received comments from people threatening to drop out for me enforcing rules).
I braced myself for people ranting to my face, I even imagined one enraged parent shooting me lol.
Things went okay for most of the day, slight awkwardness here and thereI'm used to kids running around now and I've developed a reflex of warning kids that try to wander through the front door. So at one point a few little ones were playing quietly at my desk by the front door so i left them, and one parent swoops in, and says "You guys can't play here." Then she looks at me and says "Are they bothering you?" Then she looks at my manager's wife (who also has kids enrolled in the class) and laughs, and then manager's wife laughs too.
On reflex I said "no, they're fine." But then I was like…. Wtf.

And, I bought a new router because my old one was in a bad shape.
