How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Bruce LaLiLuLeLo]

Got interviews for 2/3 jobs in my field that I applied for this month so I know I have a solid resume. Still waiting on a response from the big ticket one that I actually want (it pays the most). Honestly though, this is a good sign and I need to get better at interviews.

And has anyone else had important emails end up in their spam folder? I got a notice of approval from an apartment I applied for but the deadline for the deposits was 4 fucking days ago because I didn’t notice it until yesterday afternoon. Im still calling the leasing company to try and work this shit out but I’m not holding my breath on getting the application fee back….

All the best bro

And yes, I had a college application response for a pretty big university end up in the spam folder. Turns out I'd been accepted but I missed the deadline cause I didn't check the spam folder till almost a month later

Every fucking time

Im gonna go on a different tangent related to HR beyond the normal complaints. Back when I worked, I needed to contact HR for many reasons, for work certificates for location transfers for general queries whatever. Id always noticed that they log in very very late, 12 pm and beyond and they log out very early at around 5 or 6 pm. During these so called work hours they just generally sit around and rarely attend a meeting or two. But they would never respond to your messages till a day or two after, despite their statuses being "available". Sometimes theyll switch to offline immediately after receiving a message. I used to work close to 12 hours a day and most of the time on weekends so the HR, people who are supposed to be higher on the scale and more accountable for stuff, behaving this way used to boil my blood. It used to get worse when these same people, sometimes the very same slackers, would come and tell me that my productivity has fallen by 10% or so during performance reviews and that I needed to catch up despite the fact that I worked weekends as well, off the record (also with implicit threats of layoffs). I would mute myself and yell nigger at the screen cause it just made me so angry. I don't think I'm cut out for this corporate shit at all, the corporate politics, the corruption and the hypocritical sleaze makes me so angry that I probably would've suicide bombed the offices if I crossed the point of no return.

I monitor my spam folder and keep it clear. Have to. There's just too much chance of that sort of thing happening. Hope you can get the apartment worked out.

Probably he gained a good enough understanding of the machines he works with that he can design them to an extent?

In mechanical engineering, although it's not a requirement they appreciate engineers that previously worked as machinists because they are better at designing parts that can be more easily made, because they know what features would be difficult to get to a high tolerance or what features will be very difficult to make and so would consider alternative solutions.

Pretty much he has good handle of math too ( lol the stereotype is writing itself here) , eventually the engineers and paper pushers upstair fucked up and brought him in . At first i thought it was Michael Scott level of retardation and they brought him in because he is chinese but now I think he is the only one above room temp iq in his department because everyone else either left to work in the oil field and make more money or are too retarded to read basic schematics withouth fucking it up. But still is hilarious somehow he ended up engineer because lol chink its like innate ability at this point

 

[Bruce LaLiLuLeLo]

Is this like innate characteristic of asians to be engineers no matter what? Like the man has trade school , explain yourself asians how this is possible ?? Its like the sun rising up in the morning the asian ends up doing engineering the minute he is near schematics and machines .

Mathematics and to some degree physics is natural to all of us, it's like idk a sixth sense sort of.

 

[McMitch]

Life is a hell wherein the few people expected to provide support will forsake you when you become inconvenient, but when I took my dog to the vet this morning she did make a point to compliment him on his weight and teeth and coat and behavior and physique as she checked each one. So there’s that.

 

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

I love and appreciate that my (young adult) kids share big parts of their lives (+ & -) with me. Had a 3-hour conversation with the one of mine who starts every conversation with "I don't really have much time to talk but...".

I love them more than it is possible to express.

Wish I was warned beforehand about an unexpected guest instead of finding out right when they knocked.

It sucks how pressing the intrusive thoughts can be, lately they've been taking up more and more of my head space so it's become harder and harder to not pay attention to them
Deep down I want to keep living, but in my mind I know I really can't keep this up for much longer. Time is running out and it scares me to think that I may genuinely not survive to this time next year if I keep thinking about suicide as often as I do now

It helps if you consider your life a write-off but be morbidly curious about how it's natural course will go. Pills or a gun is boring, and any form of suicide takes the mystery out of it. Maybe you'd get hit by a minivan full of screaming children, or a crackhead in a furry suit with a knife. Maybe you'll end up in Argentina being lynched by the cartels. It's possible your natural death would be something completely unexpected and surprising, but you'd never know if you take the easy way out.

"Just need one offer" but would be nice actually getting interviews at all. A tiny hint I'm not just being laughed into the bin every time. But how do you train or become more appealing if you work fulltime? It's a mess. Scared I've already hit a dead end cause I'm not getting shinier by the day and no internal options.

 

[YHWH's Strongest Soldier]

But how do you train or become more appealing if you work fulltime?

By becoming pals with higher ups in other companies in your free time. Depending on your job, some companies also give you a few thousand to collect certificates on company time, but nobody cares about that.

I ended up getting my current job through a staffing agency. The company had difficulty getting any any resumes so reached out to an agency that had my resume on file. After four months it still seems like a good fit, even if there was a bad learning curve because the guy that was training me retired partway through.

it might help to submit your resume to a few of them

So I normally don’t get depressed but I’ve been job searching and have come to learn that such an act, even thinking about it, causes me to get very depressed. I’m experienced with dealing with terrible anxiety and panic attacks to the point I can wait them out but depression; shit is hard to wait out so I’m just toughing it out by watching funny videos because I know the future will be good and I will be happy. I wish my anxiety coping skills translated into depression coping skills.

 

[Lovely Kin]

Got a sore throat, every time I swallow something, it feels like it's on fire and it fucking hurts when I cough or sneeze.

 

[Core Theorist]

I hate trannies so goddamn much.

Every time I have to socially interact with one makes me shudder in revulsion even over the internet. I'm so grateful I've never had to interact with one in person. Yet, I can't help but wish all of my interests weren't infested with their disgusting brain-virus. Why does such a corrosive cult have to be intrinsically linked to my breed of autistic fixations? It's like I'm surrounded on all sides by some form of parasitical zombies.

It's a never-ending, cavalcade of faggotry. They can't even focus on the programs their little pisscorp servers are supposed to be about and they have to remind everyone they're dick-chopping gooners all the time. Their profile-pictures have to be huge-breasted, horse-cocked monstergirls, or their dead eyes staring at their greasy phone cameras, sharing pictures of their degenerative man-hands with oversized nails, expansive dioramas of their lolicon doujinshis on their banners for all to see.

It's inescapable! I can't find anywhere devoted to my interests that isn't infected. There's always at least one faggot flamboyantly exhibiting their sexual dysfunctions. Having to "correct" someone when one of them is called a 'guy', "oh, that guy?", "No, that GIRL!", offering nothing else of even value to the conversation besides their shared, inflated entitlement to a fake descriptor.

I hate trannies so goddamn much.

I see a lot of people saying this is a good move but it's just not really viable when you're looking for any generic data input job. Sure if you're desirable and got niche qualifications, but if you're just another cog they'll take whoever looks the most like the person who just quit.

I've been bombarded with some "more than one job" subreddit and it's just IT bros trying to skate through 3-4 employments from home at once until they get found out and fired. Their go-to is mass-spamming agencies with their resume and taking on whatever, and even if you ignore the fact they don't give the job 1/4 of their attention, the stories they tell about these workplaces are scary. They plan to get fired but even then it's just shit workplaces.

I read a comment from a guy saying "you can't just keep applying and hope it works out" and when you get no interviews it's kinda clear too, but what else can I do? Quit to do some 2 month course that results in one line on my resume going "Uhh LEAN with no real experience?".

Wellness check? From the government? How much? My rent's due soon and I got dem keeyods. Single black mama need her dollas.

 

[(((I am NOT a jew)))]

Some days I really want to try my best and function in the world even when I know it's a sinking ship. Live my life to the fullest and ignore the slew of issues that generally make even doing that damn near impossible sometimes.

Then others, I just think "Yeah, you know... wouldn't it be awesome if we could just... deal with the people who made things this way?".

Then I realize the elites/people in power didn't turn everyone into faggots. That's just kind of how people are. A lot of people actually like the world as it is now. It's just kind of a people problem that enough guys with power decided to bank in on. Can't really fault them even if they are quite literally evil at this point.

So yeah, very hard to muster any will to do anything sometimes.

 

[IKOL]

Well like it usually goes the plan I've mentioned earlier haven't got to be fulfilled on estimated time due to certain factors, mainly on my end... I just feel at loss, man.

Was on another interview today. I don't expect to get the positive outcome anymore, I just feel it won't cut this time and that's about it. It took me, what, around a hour to fill up the hire paper, all because the reception guy have fucked up and gave me old variant of one, so I had to re-do it from nothing, next talking to their hr and it went sour. Those fucking questions about clocks or similarities between elephant and some stupid flower, getting ahrinked and put into blender, who the fuck ends up with these retarded questions? Whe even ask this shit, dammit I've come for a job interview not some psychological quizz poll, fuckwits.
But that's not all, had to file up a few psychological tests and I saw the results of each. I might have some leadership qualities and overall a high tolerance but I'm not stressproof enough, I suffer from trust issues and overall symptoms of depression and strong social anxiety, fears over my past deeds and worries these might repeat themselves, especially on relationship fields.

I guess I do have depression, actually... I don't know, I'm not sure in anything anymore because nothing makes sense to me except that water is wet and my blood is red,

 

[Meat Target]

I totaled my car in the dumbest way possible. Got sun in my eyes and hit a sign. It went under and punctured the gas tank.

Thankfully, insurance said they'll cover it.

Also on the plus side, softball season is here again. Hit an RBI double Friday night.
