Vloggers who use jump cuts after every sentence. Whoever started this trend needs to have a rusty fork jabbed into their spine.

Why is it that, several weeks after applying for a job, corporations will call you at 9:00 fucking AM and then expect you to come to an interview within an hour?

Thankfully, she gave me the option for tomorrow in the afternoon before I even asked, but now I'm scared that that may have cost me the job somehow.

And now I'm terrified of the interview because I can't seem to fucking do interviews - trying to maintain eye contact, while simultaneously thinking about what I'm going to say, while simultaneously trying to remember what I'm supposed to say, while simultaneously trying to fake confidence... uggh.  Why does this come so naturally to some people?

It's not even a glamorous job - they have me literally loading and unloading a truck as part of a line, while also helping stock the shelves later in the night.

I mean, it's better than nothing, but I can't seem to even get the non-glamorous jobs.

Also, fuck you to those assholes who insist that if people can't get jobs, they just need to broaden their horizons more and "be willing to accept less glamorous jobs" - people can't even fucking get those less glamorous jobs, assholes!

...Fuck, I'm starting to shake from nerves.  And the interview's not even today!

At the very least, practicing for the interview could help. I think you'll have much more confidence going in if you know what you want to say, rather than going in blind and fumbling for words (not to imply that you would do that, anyway). If it's a big company, look up some of their common interview questions online. Practicing to the point of responses feeling natural can go a long way.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

It irritates me how people defend the lack of a female Red Ranger with "but there's no female Red Sentai, so we can't have female Red Rangers yet".  The US seemed to have no trouble making male Yellow Rangers into women in the past, so why can't they do that for a Red Ranger?

On the plus side, the discussion I had about this with my sister produced the sarcastic question "don't those boobs get in the way of your thinky-thoughts?".

I hate waiting for a response to an emotion-filled (either anger or regret or fear) post.

This. I don't know what I did, but for the last fucking week my foot's been constantly cramped. It is aggravating beyond measure.

My parents discovered the OpenDNS parental settings. Doesn't affect my PC because I'm already using a different DNS, but circumventing this on all my devices is going to be so much fun.
