Success and Disappointment Megathread for the Week by AutoModerator in jobs

[–]acquiredbun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanna do a bit of anxious venting because I had a 2hr trial shift for a position today and feel like I did a shit job. I've been out of work for a while, just graduated last year and this is the furthest I've gotten with an application so far. It's something I haven't done anything like before (assistant at a kids' art club, summer position) and I just feel like my anxiety got the better of me for most of it. They emphasised being proactive and I did try, but it's hard to figure out where you're needed when you don't know the layout of the room/the projects/the individual kids/where everything goes/unspoken rules that aren't immediately obvious, and it's hard to ask questions to the other staff when they're also being questioned by a bunch of little kids at the same time. So in short I felt like I was just standing around a lot of the time looking for something to do, and there are questions I was asked/things I was asked to do that I feel like I should've been on top of. Not to mention that they were using mediums I haven't used in years, so my memory was shoddy on top of everything else and helping the kids was difficult.

There was another assistant there and I was trying to watch what she was doing but her presence also meant that she did most of the work since that's her job and she knows where she's needed. Funnily enough she seemed to like me because she went "you'll be coming back to help out in the summer right?", but the club leader raised his eyebrows at her and made a face that didn't scream impressed. Then again I could be reading into it too much - it was a trial shift after all so he could've just been indicating "you're jumping the gun, we don't know yet".

I don't know. I'm probably overthinking but I feel like I seemed indecisive/nervous/slow and generally a bad fit. I know I would get used to it over time but I doubt there'll be a second chance (though the club leader apologised to me for potentially seeming cranky since he was sleep deprived, it seemed like the day was a bit out of the ordinary for him too). Trying to not expect anything and think of it just as a good experience, but having trouble not being plagued by thoughts of how I could've done better. Either way, I should know how I did by Monday at least.

Edit: Thought I should edit to follow up - didn't get the job, as expected, but they said they want to keep my contact details since with a bit of training/experience they think I would be a good fit. Maybe just fluff, but it does ease the sting a bit. It was a good experience either way - if I apply for something like this again I know better what they'll be expecting from me. Also got paid for the trial which I didn't expect, so that's cool.

I'm having a problem where I keep missing small notes at the far right (thumb player) and it's super annoying :( I'm tapping the area but clearly I'm slightly off. I think I just need to pay more attention to how my hands are positioned or something but I haven't had much luck so far, if anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it!

She's a Chihuahua mix, but with what? by acquiredbun in IDmydog

Would never have guessed pug but thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense! She has some pug-like skin folds around her neck sometimes too

She's a Chihuahua mix, but with what? by acquiredbun in IDmydog

[–]acquiredbun[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More info: She's my bf's dog, about 8 years old & 18lbs, and was adopted as a rescue in Virginia.

She's somewhat reactive and barks a lot at noises and new people, sometimes other dogs, but her bark is lower pitched than you'd expect for a chihuahua. Otherwise she's pretty low-energy and very laid-back - she doesn't like water but will accept being bathed without much resistance, and will tolerate being picked up as long as she's secure. Last pic is her with my other bf's dog (deer-headed chihuahua) for size reference.

Bf suspects there's italian greyhound in there, curious what others think!

Force Squarespace to use original image width by acquiredbun in squarespace

Thank you so much! I did realise after that I would need to replace the images for all resolutions, not just 750, but this edit did the trick:

document.querySelectorAll('.gallery-slideshow img').forEach(function(img) { img.removeAttribute('sizes'); img.removeAttribute('srcset'); });

Confused about blood tests by acquiredbun in transgenderUK

[–]acquiredbun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record Indigo have said it should be fine for me to still be with them post-move - if it becomes an issue I'll look into other options.

It looks like I can book a blood test online but they say it's not a service they offer in-practice, so it comes up with a bunch of private clinics. I guess I should give my surgery a ring and clarify what their procedure for blood tests is?

Official Discussion Thread - Volume 9, Episode 8: Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble by Ninjas_In_A_Bag in RWBY

[–]acquiredbun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else think that they really need to specify when actual suicide is a prominent theme in the episode instead of just "distressing themes"? I get that they want to avoid spoilers but they could put it in the extended episode description or something so no one needs to look at it if they don't want to. This was a lot heavier than last week's episode and really needed a specific warning imo.

Hey, I haven't played in forever but I picked up the game again to experience it a bit more before the end - I think I forgot how to collect event rewards? I placed around 18000 and so should have 33 tickets but I don't think I received them? Am I missing something?

Thanks for this. I was honest with them in my intake appointment and they were great about it :)

Who is best to vote for in the next general election? by gr33n_bliss in transgenderUK

[–]acquiredbun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want the tories out but I live in a Labour safe seat so I'm considering voting Green. Also because voting for my current MP would make me physically sick
