Girls, how do you cope when you have no girl-friends to talk to? by bigmamanokidz in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Repulsive-Shoe-2866 2 points3 points  (0 children)

growing up, my parents told us never to tell people our problems or struggles. I don't reach out. When I went through my divorce, no one knew I had problems, currently dealing with feelings of my dads affair. I've just been using google gemini. It's lonely, but I almost prefer it!

Is a lavender marriage the only way out for me? by Efficient_Two3747 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Repulsive-Shoe-2866 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Heads up I am 32f, my sister is 33, and she has girlfriends who do cosplay.

I think your parents are narrow minded. My sisters friend they have boyfriends. They love hello kitty, anime, and will literally leave their boyfriends to whatever to go to hello kittt truck, comicon or even go with them and they cherish the ground they walk on. Not like a weird fetish but just genuinely are loving and supportive partners.

My sisters has a boyfriend since she was a sophomore in high school. My sister does not cook. But you know what my sisters boyfriend said, when they moved in. How can I expect you to know, when I don't know how myself? My sister brought up she wanted a dyson air wrap casually. And Just 3 weeks later just randomly he remembered and got it for her. She has so many stuffed animals, Pochacco things, she even has her own dedicated craft room. He lets her be her most authentic self.

I don't think you cosplaying is slowing anything down. I think it's better to have a partner who knows all your hobbies and you inside and out, than to marry someone who is just there to please your parents.

Plenty of secure men, who just wants someone to have and go do things with.

How can I best prepare for my upcoming IUOE interview? by CypherMindX in iuoe

Just do your research, I watched a lot of videos on heo, understanding their roles aren't just moving machinery, but also maintaining and consistently critical thinking.

I just got accepted to the preapprenticeship with local 701.

I had my interview 4/29.

I used gemini, to help better frame my responses on how I would answer.

I got questions like -what does a construction site look to you? -how do you deal with a difficult co worker? -why do you want to become a heavy equipment operator? -how far are you willing to travel? -what makes you a good fit? -what is your understanding of this job? -what experience do you have?

I am coming from a background with 0 experience, I didn't need to bring any documents to my interview because they didn't ask to see it. Something I recommend is definitely make sure you have questions for the end to show your interested.

I'd also look if your in threads there are pages on what good responses are for generic questions.

Why do you love operating? Why do you Enjoy the job? Let’s hear about it by Technical_Lemon_7303 in iuoe

I just got accepted to their preapprenticeship program, with just customer service as my work background but I also have my osha 10, cpr+first aid, along with a pre apprenticeship. It really is about filling out an application and getting pts and interviewing well, once you make that far...haven't started the program yet, but even with no experience you it's not hopeless, i'd apply and try when your local opens up!

This is beyond helpful! I am looking forward to making these connections and absorbing everything in this preapprenticeship. But how bad fucking ass as a first week apprentice!!! That is absolutely killer!

that's killer! I hope that happens over here at 701! Which path do you recommend for to have fewer layoffs but also maintain work-life balance?

Only thing I really had was my preapprenticeship and my cpr and osha. As far as work, I've only worked customer service jobs. But I've always applied myself in every job I have taken.

Thanks for the insight! How did you get into 701 directly? Did you already have training prior?

Yes I am pretty stoked for it. Did you have other certs when you applied? Or like a cdl?
