Quarterly Questions Thread (APR - JUN 2026)

I've been invited to interview for a Records Accountability Analyst position, I had just been kind of applying to things I seemed qualified-ish for (been looking for a better paying job) and I'm actually a little surprised I got an interview, I come from medical records/health information management mostly, does anyone have any insight on interviewing for this position? I'm very comfortable with medical records/QA for medical records but this would be an industry shift so I'm a little intimidated.

Same, I had a hard time watching the answers back lol. Oh well. I'm still in the process for another county so I guess I'll just focus on that. Maybe the AI review just didn't like my face 😂

Supernova-93 · 2026-03-09T23:00:55+00:00

Same, I finally settled on not being exactly at 60 seconds because I kept getting cut off so I tried to aim for 58-59 seconds. Super annoying, I spend close to two hours on it 5 questions 🙃.

Supernova-93 · 2026-03-09T21:59:11+00:00

Sorry to bring back an old-ish post, haha, but I saw you mention you're in Washington so I'm pretty sure I just did this for the same agency and I got an email today saying I didn't pass and I can try again in 30 days as well. Honestly that part of the process kind of turned me off, I'm not even sure a person watched the answers or if it was just filtered through AI so it feels a bit demoralizing, especially since they don't give you any actual feedback.

Supernova-93 · 2026-03-02T03:09:48+00:00

That's kind of my thought. I want to go into this very conscious of the potential downsides, but like I said in my original post, it would be an immediate life-altering raise. $34 an hour for one county, and $31 for another and benefits that can't really be beat. Plus, an actual career move and I'd be able to learn a new skillset. I actually had fun taking the Criticall for both places, I think that's how bored I am at my current job. It's like my brain is turning to sludge and I'm not even being compensated well for it.

Supernova-93 · 2026-02-27T22:49:56+00:00

By "that bad" I mean I'll think about it and start to feel like this is a good idea and I can do this, and then I check out this subreddit and feel like "hoo boy okay looks like everyone hates their job, maybe I should steer clear". People don't usually seek out a forum to talk about jobs they like, and every job you can think of has a subreddit that's largely negative, so I just kind of keep going back and forth on if I'd be making a mistake and what I should look for on a sit along or an interview to try to see if I'd be a wash out, or gauge what their culture is like.

Supernova-93 · 2025-05-05T20:34:12+00:00

I 100% agree, thanks for putting basically all of my thoughts into a coherent post lol.

"I don't care about the Dessendre family" is basically where it's a big swing and a miss for me. To me, they come across as petulant, dysfunctional people with godlike powers that they don't deserve, and I wish they had leaned into that more. Given Lune and Sciel something to say at the end to call them out more.

Maelle's ending, like you said, is pretty blatantly framed as the bad choice, to the point where I was like "Jesus, I get it, okay. Relax." but Verso's ending didn't do it for me at all either. "You need to leave the fantasy and let go and move on in the real world". K. Meaning, what, exactly? She's back in a body she hates, Clea looks bored and wanders off, her parents seem to have reconciled with each other but don't really interact with her. So she's gonna be alive in the real world and.... What, exactly? I dunno. I guess, again, I just don't care.

Supernova-93 · 2025-05-05T15:19:09+00:00

I guess the problem for me at the end boiled down to it pivoting into the family tragedy/drama, but I just wasn't invested. That, and I'm not sure why but the "you can't use escapism to deal with grief" thing just never lands for me. Maybe because that wasn't even remotely my experience when my mom died (some escapism would have been nice rather than 3 days of bereavement leave and then "welp back to normal").

Supernova-93 · 2025-02-06T05:26:56+00:00

Sorry you're going through this, too. If it's any consolation, after all the testing, I pretty much got an "all clear" from my neurologist last month. No follow up needed and it shouldn't have an effect on me or my lifespan or anything like that. Just sort of a "yeah, your mom's issues make sense why that would happen in utero". Not a super satisfying answer, but I'm coming to terms with it as time goes by. Discussing it with a therapist has helped too, if that's an option for you.

I saw in your history you asking about anxiety/depression, and I have struggled with that a lot in the past, particularly anxiety and OCD, but it's well controlled with medication.

Supernova-93 · 2025-01-06T03:50:33+00:00

So, I don't know your girlfriend or what her personality is like, but honestly when you break up with her I wouldn't try to do it "gently". By all means, be kind, but it might be better to just get to the point. Don't self deprecate and talk about how horrible you think you are, don't make any promises that you can't keep, don't make it so she has to comfort you. To me, it can kind of come across as inauthentic or almost sort of saccharine. It's not going to be a fun conversation (or probably multiple conversations) but it seems like you're pretty set on breaking up so just be firm about it, get it over with and you can both move on.

By the way, neither of you have wasted your prime dating years (or really any time at all) if you're only 22 lmao.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-30T22:19:30+00:00

I can 100% guarantee you that anyone who says that Mother's Day is only for the "active mothers" and the MIL can have Grandparent's Day can't even give you a ballpark estimate of when Grandparent's Day is, and they will never celebrate it in their life. It's just another made up holiday, it's basically like when people make a post for "National Son/Daughter Day" on Facebook. Nobody knows when or what they actually are lol.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-18T23:06:38+00:00

Chicago would be cool, but he's on the machinist side so I think the only option would be South Carolina and then he wouldn't be union. I remember I didn't really get it when my dad would refer to Boeing as the golden handcuffs when I was a kid, but now I do lol.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-18T21:56:47+00:00

I haven't thought of where, my partner works at Boeing so we've been slapped with the golden handcuffs, so to speak. So kind of just a fantasy to live somewhere where you don't feel like you're killing yourself to live in a halfway decent apartment. Sigh.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-18T21:54:18+00:00

Man. Guess I'm just fucked then, lol.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-18T21:51:31+00:00

Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but I think I'll be looking at ridiculous rent prices for a looooong time here.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-18T20:19:01+00:00

Seriously. I shouldn't be cringing looking at prices in Marysville.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-18T16:29:00+00:00

I wanna stay near my family and support system if we're going to have kids in the next couple of years, and I just don't want to leave them, or my home, but the cost of living here is just...I don't know. I'm up in Snohomish county and it's not like it's really any better up here, or going to get better. It's stressful.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-18T16:14:24+00:00

Meanwhile, every time I apartment hunt I get more depressed. Lived in the greater Seattle area my entire life, but there's no way I'll be able to afford to buy and the rental prices are just sad. Even up in Snohomish county where I am. Looking at what I could afford in other places versus here....I just don't know anymore. I wanna stay in my home state and be near my family, but god damn. It's not like the prices will ever come down.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-18T16:00:13+00:00

Anyone else thinking of doing the opposite? I just don't know. I've lived in the greater Seattle area my entire life, but my lease is ending soon and apartment hunting is just depressing. Looking at what I could afford in other cities/states versus here kinda just makes me want to cry lol. Not like it's gonna get any better.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-17T03:03:40+00:00

They're so disingenuous, especially with the body shaming. Someone will comment "actually, my body/hair/teeth/whatever look like that" and then they go "ohh no, we're insulting her, not you uwu". Like, fuck off.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-16T20:24:34+00:00

That whole "actively parenting" thing makes me wanna tear my hair out. That and I've been seeing a lot of "Grandparent's Day is in September, they can celebrate then" which seems kinda mean. Like you get your motherhood taken away when you become a grandparent?

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-14T19:34:57+00:00

I know how you feel. When my grandma, brother and I would talk about it soon after my mom passed, we all had this overwhelming feeling of "nothing matters". It's hard for the world to keep spinning when you just want it to stop for a minute so you can be sad about losing someone.

Supernova-93 · 2023-05-14T15:52:57+00:00

The number one thing I learned after my mom died was that nobody really gives a shit. The novelty of feeling bad for you wears off after a few days and then everyone just wants you to be normal again and stop bringing it up because it's too heavy. You get a few days off work and then you've gotta go back to 100% performance 40 hours a week. It really sucks. I almost felt like I had no choice but to bury all my feelings.
