There's goddamn fruit flies everywhere

• Interview went... uh. It went? I was interviewed by the same guy as Tuesday and his wife, the co-owner. He brought up some concerns about me not having experience in the main industries they work for and I understand those concerns. I just hope that my answer to show my willingness to learn was good enough. I can't learn without the ( Read more... )

I hate fall because it means summer is over and winter is coming but GODDAMN I LOVE FRESH SHEET DAY! It's probably one of the high points of my week every other one when I change them, shower, and shave. It's so smooth and relaxing and asdjhasdkjhasd.
Couldn't agree more! I just love when I change my beddings, and put on something with a delicate scent in my my brand new bed :) (I bought myself this iron, a bit princess-like thing this summer :)). And I too shower, shawe and put on fresh pajamas whenver I change them (which should be next Monday, if I can find the time...). And now that I started using this under the shower cream is even better!
• Lost all my tabs again. I had to hard crash my computer and when it rebooted Chrome didn't load properly so I force quit it. When it re-opened it prompted me to restore the tabs. BUT. Because Chrome didn't load right upon the reboot it restored one tab. :( First world problems, amirite?I'm sorry to say Chrome and I don't agree any longer; it could go on my work computer, but at home, where ( ... )

I go back and forth between Chrome and Firefox every couple years. This last time I had to because I'd right click in firefox and it would take upwards of 30 seconds for me to be able to copy/paste/save/etc. I never found out why it was like that.

I can't learn without the experience and half the battle is dealing with the PEOPLE in those industries

That's so true!!

Best of luck to you :)

Good luck! It's so hard to tell at the end of interviews. At least he actually talked about his concerns and you were able to respond to that. It seems like your customer service experience should be really valuable to them.

I'm REALLY hoping so. I don't know if this is the ideal job for me right now but it'll get me out of my shitty situation at the moment. And if I do get it and learn about those fields via this job I'll be pretty excited because it means I have that much extra experience under my belt.

Ya, I think the most important thing going forward is learning new things and building a broader skill set. Sounds like this job would do that. Then you could get something even better afterwards!

Fresh sheet day is always awesome.

I personally love Fall, but I hate winter.

I'm glad the goodbye speech went well.

I have students telling me all the time that they have all these tabs open and I don't get it. Doesn't that crash the browser regularly? I use Pocket and it is great. https://getpocket.com/

I love fresh sheet day, too. I usually take my shower in the mornings, but on fresh sheet day, I have to take it at night.

My browser rarely crashes on its own and when it does it usually keeps the tabs. Sometimes when I restart my computer it randomly drops certain tabs but without any kind of pattern. Chrome has a neat function that allows you to "kill" tabs that have become unresponsive without needing to crash the whole app. I regularly have 80+ tabs in one window with a second holding under 30-ish.

I use pocket already but almost exclusively for recipes. I've tried using it for things to "go back to" later but I never do so things just pile up and never get looked at. I like having it for recipes, though, because I can look up things I've saved at the store when I want to try something new!
