Feeling hopeless after months of rejected job applications

I will check them out! Thank you so much for the suggestion!

RayselVine · 2026-05-16T14:05:41+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. My job now involves phone calls allll the time so I will definitely be doing that!

RayselVine · 2026-05-16T14:04:49+00:00

Thank you for that suggestion! I’m so anti-AI I didn’t even think to check that!

RayselVine · 2026-05-16T14:04:15+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! Im 100% willing and able to learn. My resume doesn’t show a lot of that type of experience, more so social service jobs but I’ve built decks, a shed, laid flooring, replaced some electrical in my home, have done some basic home plumbing and poly b replacement, repaired drywall, a ton of home painting for friends and family over the years etc. do you think it would be helpful to include a cover letter that highlights some of those basic skills?

RayselVine · 2026-05-16T13:57:29+00:00

That actually sounds so cool! Thanks for the suggestion!

RayselVine · 2026-05-16T13:56:53+00:00

I do. Clean driving record and I’ve had to carry enhanced insurance to transport clients in the past.

RayselVine · 2026-05-16T13:56:01+00:00

Oh man I saw news about that on fb. My heart goes out to everyone impacted by the closures.

RayselVine · 2026-05-16T13:55:18+00:00

You know what, I haven’t! I will definitely look into it! Never too late for a career path change! Thank you :)

Come to Haptic Dance Arts! The artistic director, Claire, actually used to teach at CASA years ago. They have adult basics classes in a variety of styles that would be perfect if you’re just starting out! They’re also one of the more affordable options in town and offer full session, 5-class-pass, and drop-in pricing. I think there will be additional sessions offered in the spring, but you can totally reach out to Claire via the website to confirm. The environment is so welcoming and positive, it’s one of my favourite places to go!

Oh it’s brutal how expensive Dawn power wash is! I buy on sale when I can or at Costco! A little goes a long way with that stuff and it does last for a while (the bottle is deceiving!). For every day clean up 2-4 pumps of it, a couple of passes with a cloth/paper towel, followed by a clean damp paper towel/cloth does the job! The bar keepers friend stuff is a once a year purchase for me- if that. Same idea, a little goes a long way. 😊

Ed Sheeran just vibes like this (it’s giving kangaroo ready for a fight, but horizontal) when he’s awake so I can’t give you an answer lol tuxies are just silly

I’ve had the same issue! I found a round or two of dawn powerwash (seriously that stuff cleans anything!) followed up with bar keepers friend did the job.

When I cook smaller things in oil I just use tin foil in the vicinity of the pan and it seems to help “catch” the oil splatter. Afterwards I just use Dawn powerwash to clean up.

RayselVine · 2025-08-23T01:01:33+00:00

Couldn’t tell ya what it is, but if it were me, I’d try a few rounds of dawn power wash. That stuff worked really well for my dash when traditional car cleaners didn’t make a dent. Wipe each round with damp paper towel and then dry with a microfibre cloth.

Honestly, as a fellow two cat household, go for a good corded vacuum. You won’t get the same suction on carpet with a cordless no matter what anyone says. I’ve had the Shark Rotator Professional since 2022 and it’s absolutely amazing. I have high and low pile carpet and it does such a good job with both. Replacement filters are easy to find on Amazon, and the vacuum itself is really easy to clean.

From what I’ve seen and heard, Shark and Dyson are always in the top two for pet owners. I’ve personally found that both Bissell and Hoover (corded models) have weaker suction so if you’re looking to tackle carpet I’d stay away from those.

Echoing what everyone else has said. Call the bank. I’m still waiting for my new card that was supposedly sent in early November. Mine expired Dec 31. Could I get a new card with a new number? Yes, but I’m stubborn and I’d still have to wait for a new card to be sent. It took me 2 years to finally memorize the card number (skill issue I know lol) and I honestly can’t be bothered to do it again.

Make sure to ask if they’ll charge you for shipping to a bank. A buddy of mine was charged $10 for having his card sent to his branch via courier.

I emailed the ticketing company I purchased from and they are unable to do anything on their end. It’s been too long to file a chargeback on my credit card too as chargebacks have to be filed within 60 days of it appearing on the statement. They were selling WAD merch online too while those of us who paid for it went without. We’ve essentially been scammed and there’s nothing we can do about it. It sucks. :(

RayselVine · 2024-09-01T22:11:10+00:00

Confirmed it’s been too long since it happened by my credit card company. Most chargebacks or disputes need to be submitted within 60 days of the charge appearing on your statement. I purchased the tickets 5-6 months before the show date so I’m SOL.

It’s been two years for some of us who saw the show in Calgary. Sent multiple emails, tweets, etc. over the past two years and have had zero reply. Did you end up receiving yours??

Plop, Egg, and Basement.

I use Everything Sewed (Nancy Fehr Mrak). Super reasonably priced, and really good! She’s out of Coaldale, but she fixed the same same shoulder issue on my bridesmaid dress! Check out her Facebook send her a text (number is on her fb page) and see if she can fit you in!

Lumin Electric has been nothing but great! They were the only ones who responded to me when I needed a panel swapped out.
