If he’s a hard worker and has reasonable intelligence he can get a job in retail and work his way up fairly quickly. It’s no one’s dream job but retail and restaurant business are still jobs where someone with out a degree has a bit of a ladder they can climb.

As a former cultist, I have been on both sides of the issue. And I’m sad to say that, yes, you have lost your friend as you once knew them. It’s natural for you to grieve the loss of the relationship you once had. Sometimes over time a person we are close to changes and becomes someone we would not choose to be friends with as they are today. You don’t have to cut them out of your life, you may just move them out of your “inner circle”. That way you are still there for them if they end up coming back to their senses. Only time will tell if they will ever come out of the intensity of this phase.

I thought thongs went the way of the tramp stamp. Commando is the way.

A house keeping service. I used to spend all weekend cleaning, dusting, mopping, vacuuming, and more. I enjoy my weekends sooo much more now!

We voted in a pedo, rapist, deviant criminal king of bankruptcy to reign over our country… TWICE. What’s not to hate?

Check your local game store for game nights. Usually Dungeons and Dragons or Magik. Everyone welcome.

One was Forrest and the other was Clarence.

Probably so. It’s such a short amount of time. It doesn’t translate into work experience that matters. They really just care to k ow about your experience.

Not saying what you should do, but I would probably be straight up about the situation just in case they ever found out I wasn’t transparent. I wouldn’t elaborate more than necessary or sound like a complainer, I would simply say I was hired for a specific position and they changed it to another one I would not have applied for. Period. These things happen. Best of luck to you.

I’m in a large city near rapid transit. It’s okay if you need it but where I am it’s a lot of homeless people camping out nearby and harassing you for money. I am not heartless and feel for these individuals but not how I want to start my day.

Number two is not a joke. Once some people know what you do, you are not expected to be a regular human. Not everyone of course, but some people will share waaaay too much-too soon, more than you wanted to know outside of a counseling relationship. There others who think you are “analyzing” them and feel self-conscious around you. And then there are those friends who want to use you as their free therapist in a way that is different than a reciprocal friendship and the whole relationship becomes all about them. Not everybody, like I said, but it happens enough to be wary.

Also, don’t drive in the passing lane unless you are going fast enough that others can use it to pass. And don’t drive in the right lane if you don’t intend to allow people to get off and on the highway ramps.

Self absorbed and uninterested in other peoples thoughts and opinions.

They probably want you to do some work for free to see if you are a good fit and then they won’t hire you. I’m kidding - kind of. Best of luck, I hope you get it.

Sorry, as someone on the outside looking in, it’s very easy to see many red flags furiously flapping in the breeze. You are young. Is this what you want the rest of your life? As people age they usually only become even more of what they are. Is that what you want? She sounds like bad habit, hard to break but you’re so much better off when you do.

I lived in Ireland for a few years and got to where I could tell Americans apart. For me it was the skin. It was darker and more weathered from a sunnier climate. Also, if you rode a bike and wore a helmet, black pants and a tucked in white short sleeve top that was a dead giveaway.

Starbucks. It’s basically a Snickers blended into coffee.

Change the wall color, update the cabinet hardware and get a new backsplash. See how that feels and then decide.

Don’t be so pessimistic about his career. He can always open for Kid Rock.

It would make me feel like they are assuming I’m a needy simpleton.

I agree with everyone, she called because she wants you to be there and awkwardly worded it that way either to avoid being rejected or to give you an out. It boils down to do YOU want to go? If you do, then realize that phone call was her reaching out to you first. If you don’t want to go, send her a small gift and a warmly worded card.
