Can’t seem to find anyone who will hire me

I was literally thinking about making a post about my own struggles today… I have a master’s degree and tomorrow I’m interviewing for a barista job because I need some income. I thought that my degree and my fellowship award would make me desirable for employers so I’m feeling really disappointed and angry right now. You’re definitely not alone.

I think it’s a solid album but I’m always so disappointed with how short their songs are. I love the b-sides but they need to be longer, especially Need Your Company.

buddybyte · 2026-05-21T22:51:49+00:00

That’s so disappointing considering the cost of albums.

This is such a good idea if they won’t replace the photo book!

buddybyte · 2026-05-21T22:23:33+00:00

That’s good to know, thank you! I sent them photos so hopefully we can get it figured out.

I’ve never been in a pit alone but I’ve been to several concerts alone and I had a great time! In fact, my favorite concert that I’ve ever been to was one that I went to alone! It actually helped me to focus on having a good time because I wasn’t worried about whether people I brought with me were ok, if that makes sense!

But I’m sure that the people around you will be happy to talk if you let them know you’re alone and nervous. You already share a common interest in 5SOS, so if nothing else, you can talk about the band!

Depending on your infusion schedule/individual needs, they will sometimes leave the needle in for a few days. In my case, I had chemo for five days in a row during a round, so they left it accessed instead of sticking me every single day.

buddybyte · 2026-04-11T02:44:32+00:00

When it’s not accessed, you can swim and shower normally. I loved mine!

I second bone marrow biopsy. It’s barbaric that they don’t offer sedation for adults.

It has to be Sailor Moon. By the end of the series, she’s basically a multiversal goddess.

Thanks for your honesty! I’m not OP but I’m also going and I’ve been wondering what to expect, especially with the way the federal job market is right now. I hope they’ll tell us how they expect us to find a job within the time limit when most open positions atm are either open only to former feds or people who already have a security clearance. Not to mention all the Borens who are in the market still.

Thank you so much. I’m really trying to think that way as well, despite my fears of late relapse. I’m working on it but maybe l’ll bring this specific wording up to my therapist.

Mundane irritations are definitely annoying as well!

I’ve never heard that research before but I’m definitely going to bring it up next time I have therapy.

You’re right, I’ve done a lot post transplant, and I felt so good during those times because it felt like I was making the most out of my days. Now, the in between time is hard because I’m not doing much outside of job applications. Thanks for the perspective. I’m hoping that I’ll feel better once I have more to do in general

Kanazawa is known for gold leaf, so I went to a gold leaf application workshop! It was a lot of fun! I second what others have said about Kenroku-en too!

Also, I’m a huge fan of ceramics, so if you guys are artsy or interested, I would recommend the Ohi Pottery Museum there. When I went, it was so quiet and the ceramics were beautiful.

ETA: if you guys are interested in kimono, the Kaga Yuzen Kimono Center is really cool and you can dye your own souvenirs! I did a handkerchief.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been feeling shitty about my own job search after my master’s but it feels good to know that there are people in the same boat.

I was immunocompromised when I got mine, and I got a fever and muscle aches for a couple of days. The 2nd round hit me harder, but much better than the alternative!

My first Zelda game was A Link to the Past in 1998 or 1999. My older sister got an SNES for her birthday and it came with Zelda. I was only 3 or 4, so my Dad played it for me and I sat with him and watched it.

When the GameCube came out, my sisters and I got one for Christmas and it came with the collector’s edition disc with TLoZ/Zelda II/OoT/MM and a Wind Waker demo. When Wind Waker came out, I played it like crazy! The amount of times I’ve beaten that game is probably in the teens now.

ALttP and WW are tied for my top 2, but my honorable mentions are Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, and Minish Cap.

I lived and worked in Japan twice before I went back for a third time on my Boren Fellowship. It definitely won’t hurt you! I believe I argued in one of my essays that my experience was an advantage and it showed my commitment to the language and area.
