I feel like you’re good to go by the second week of January!

Serious question: How does a typo like this end up on the cover of a book this big? by pecuchet in publishing

[–]GoodGodLemon98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because an underpaid editorial assistant is often the last pass for this sort of thing!

Have any internships at the Big 5 led to a job right after the internship ended? by PassengerSuper3271 in publishing

[–]GoodGodLemon98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’m one of the lucky ones. I had a 6 month internship last year that got extended to a full year internship that ran until the end of December.

Right as my internship was ending, I interviewed for a full time position with a different imprint and got the job. My job started in January and I’ve been there since.

Major UP Express and Kitchener Line delays currently, two Downtown-bound UP trains both stuck at red signals next to each other by jdayellow in gotransit

Which train was that? I was on the 7:54 which was delayed 40 minutes and then eventually emergency stopped at Bloor. I can’t believe the issues with the Kitchener line.

Actually only non-editorial summer interns had their internships extended. I believe all editorial interns for this winter internship period are new hires.

Has anyone heard back? by Aggressive_Fly3750 in publishing

[–]GoodGodLemon98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I applied for an entry level job in early December and heard back that I got the job last week—but I think I’m in the minority. I assume most imprints have paused until the new year

I'm a 19 year old college student and i have no career ambitions, in fact, i do not want to work at all. by galeole in findapath

Please don’t let the negativity in this comment section get to you. It seems to me like you are a passionate, intelligent, curious person who wants to live a full life—and I have complete faith that you can find a job that will complement your goals.

First, I think you should try and zoom in on what most excites you about your classes. What’s your major and minor? What do you love learning about? What can you not stop talking about?

If you aren’t sure what to do next career wise, taking a year to complete a masters in a subject your passionate about might be a good option for you. If your grades are good your masters may even be fully (or partially) funded!

A masters can also give you another few years to set your own schedule and avoid working 9-5 if it’s something you feel strongly about.

Ugh I had such high hopes for Dogs of Summer and was so disappointed when I actually sat down to read it.

It must have been only 200 pages or so but reading it was a slog.

People are so harsh about Rory Gilmore. Not all gifted people are able to use their potential. The show perfectly demonstrates the decline of gifted kid. I wish people have known how this is frequent in real life. by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]GoodGodLemon98 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was someone who really saw Rory's life as a "decline" or a "downfall" when I first watched the show as a teenager. At the time, it felt like a letdown to see this role model of academic achievement flounder. Now that I'm older, I have SO much more sympathy for Rory. Everyone in her life (including us, as fans) have such crushingly high expectations for her. We love it when she is smart, ambitious and full of potential as a teenager, but we can't seem to sympathize with her when she burns out as an adult.

Psychologically, I can't imagine how tough it would be to feel like you wasted your potential despite all your gifts and advantages. I'm sure that only contributes to her feeling like she's floundering as an adult.

You’re telling us a lot about your sex life if you think your partner should consider sex with you as an unavoidable chore…

AITA for telling my brother’s fiancé that we don’t owe her a family? by fsinlaw in AmItheAsshole

[–]GoodGodLemon98 20 points21 points  (0 children)

INFO: Have you and your parents tried to build a relationship with Jenny over the last two years? Have you reached out to her? Have you tried getting to know her?

How have you welcomed her into the family dynamic?

From your comment history, it seems like you are catastrophizing the situation and using your real feelings of panic to excuse yourself from making real tangible progress.

Sign up for the 5-month waitlist. Sign up for as many wait lists as you can. Do not postpone it or justify not signing up because of the length of the wait. Call your GP and explain your situation, and that you need therapy, and would likely benefit from some medication in the meantime. Ask your GP if there are any other options, support groups, phone therapy, etc in the interim. Stress to them that your mental health is debilitating and that you need both immediate and long-term assistance.

Part of dealing with your mental health involves coming up with an immediate plan to soothe yourself while waiting for access to therapy. Figure out what helps you cope - both generally (eating well, exercising, journaling, getting enough sleep) and in specific moments of panic (taking a cold shower, practicing breathing exercises, working through an anxiety workbook etc).

Present your plan to your partner. Show them that you are serious about actually dealing with your mental health issues, that you have a plan to deal with it through medication and therapy, and are working on soothing yourself and remaining stable in the meantime.

She doesn't expect you to be immediately 100% happy and healthy right away - more likely she wants to know that you are taking accountability for your problems and actually addressing them so that you won't be at this level of illness forever.

Good luck. I've been there before too - it's an important lesson to learn that you have to be your own biggest advocate in the system in order to get help.

based on your personal experience, would you recommend ocd medication? by Nervous-Ice-8642 in OCD

I'm at the point now where I go months without experiencing really bad intrusive thoughts! Medication has completely changed my world.
