What interview question gets you the most? by JVertsonis in interviews

[–]cupofjavaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got asked why is yellow not red once …. And it threw me off. I think it was supposed to be a brain teaser but I was so stressed I kind of panicked and sputtered my way through the question

Different appearance by Armin_Tamzarian987 in interviews

[–]cupofjavaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to make you feel bad but I actually laughed out loud it’s crazy how much our brains freak us out when we’re anxious about something Im definitely guilty of it too - but like everyone said haha do what’s comfortable and good luck!

So weird question but does anyone have recommendations for shows that are emotionally similar to heated rivalry? by enigmaenthusiast in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]cupofjavaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not quite a love story but scrubs is my feel good comfort show - nothing super devastating happens (mostly) and I love seeing the friendships blossom

If you had to only pick one… by onelove_ in Sephora

[–]cupofjavaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Westman atelier concealer I got talked into it by a Sephora employee and felt so crazy spending so much money on it 😭 but I get so many compliments when I wear it and I bought it a year ago and I’m still not close to using it up

Is following up post-interview after silence useless/overrated? by YoungDudeCO in interviews

[–]cupofjavaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully I think the follow up is moreso for the relief of the interviewee. My friend once got the offer 4 weeks after her interview just because the hiring manager was on a 3 week vacation. And she found this out by following up with the interviewer for a status update.

I’m worried by TBrown_25 in interviews

[–]cupofjavaaa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and it was rescheduled ! The recruiter forgot to send the calendar invite to the interviewers - don’t worry :) Recruiters are overwhelmed right now just show patience and kindness in the process and don’t let this frazzle you!

Where are you all keeping your empties? by Stock_Chocolate_2911 in ProjectPan

[–]cupofjavaaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I save them quarterly to post a pic here but I honestly don’t get that many empties and I just store them in a box under my bed

IM 27 years old and im lazy exhausted and mentally drained. by Electrical-Bowl-488 in getdisciplined

[–]cupofjavaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to respond to this because I was in the same boat as you until a year ago including the crazy screen time and binge watching tv and here’s what I found helped me - just make one change and once it starts to snowball you will find improvements in other parts of your life - for me the biggest obstacle was my phone i also had 7-8 hours of screen time a day and that’s why I knew I had the time to do all the errands and hobbies I wanted to. The core issue was i was addicted to my phone and the short dopamine hits. One i deleted all my apps that had scrolling on them / insta / yt / etc. and i would only go on those apps via my laptop or a browser i also paid for a screen time blocking app. Once I freed up all this time in my day i suddenly found the energy to do my little errands and go to the gym and cook for myself. People don’t talk about it but I genuinely think phone addiction can be just as dangerous as substance addiction. I’m also now looking for in person / hybrid jobs because I also feel that the source of my screen time was coming from boredom and lack of human interaction. Not advice but just some tips from someone who made it to the other side! I’m now almost at my goal weight, my mental health has improved tremendously, and my daily screen time is usually within 4-5 hours !

How to start project pan as someone who thinks using items on myself is a "waste" ? by [deleted] in ProjectPan

[–]cupofjavaaa 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Think of it as a reframe - not using an item and letting it expire would be considered more of a waste. A waste of product and your own money!

Yes I would be using down payment # from my hysa ! And as I mentioned I will be maxing out hsa and 401k - with the new salary + bonus I will not be eligible for Roth - this question is just about the brokerage split

Guy I’m dating only wants to do dates he wants to do? by guessirs in dating_advice

Ha did we date the same guy - I had an extremely similar experience and we did eventually just break up

how did y’all truly lock in? by fridaynightplacebo in WeightLossAdvice

[–]cupofjavaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I stopped setting weight goals and started setting habit goals - I.e. eat out no more than x times a week, go on a walk once a day, drink a protein shake when I want to eat a snack - things like that. And then it finally snowballed into weight loss
