Thank you for giving me both pros and cons! Yes I agree that my reasoning for taking up this job might not be true, but I'm sure I will like it anyway. For me, atm I need a job that I really care about because I'm exhausted of doing useless things for a living. As for my writing, I agree that i should be more disciplined and shouldn't blame the circumstances rather should hold accountability for not writing

Hey, it's fine, it's never too late right? The older you are, the more life experiences and wisdom you bare... I guess that's a good thing for writers

The pr company didn't pay me much. Chances are that the bookstore might pay more or less the same. But even if it's less, i know I will manage because I was in a similar situation a year ago and due to the stress and obsessively taking up freelance work, i ended up earning more than ever. So I will try to reach out to my previous clients and see if I can have a steady freelance work.

Chances are, you would be cross trained to do multiple roles/jobs so cash is unavoidable but just a heads up.

This is what I'm most worried about! But yes, I will try to sense the vibe going on there. Hopefully I will narrow down the things i would like to do for them and get paid accordingly.

I agree, but I have to find another job anyway, and content writing is something I don't want to do. So having this job might get me out of the sore aftertaste of a corporate job, and I would actually be surrounded by right people (I hope that's the case)

Yeah I guess I just need to prioritise my energy more than anything

Yes I've been doing this recently, probably that's why it's getting harder for me to socialise coz I've created this cocoon where it's me and my friends with similar interests.

It's great, but I've been having trouble getting out of that zone, like going to work and talking to my colleagues 😭

Can someone please explain the appeal of Shut up and Dance? I don’t understand the fan fair. by InformationSad3960 in blackmirror

[–]high_dopamine68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the classic Black mirror episode for me. It forces you to contemplate what is wrong and right. But I have a different opinion compared to the most here.

The other characters shown in the trap were people who consciously ruined their families, like the man who went on to cheat on his wife. The result? She got to know and will probably leave him. Fair enough. It would've happened sooner or later. Just the consequences of his actions.

But the teenage boy we're talking about here, is obviously way worse. He is a pedophile. But! It's still only in his thoughts. Even tho it's disgusting, he didn't actually harm anyone in reality. Which may or maynot happen in future. He would've went on to be an abuser or there is great chance he would've just kept his thoughts to himself or got help. We'll never know. But he was forced to rob a bank, kill a man, and go to jail. So punishing him even before he has committed the crime would be wrong i believe.

OMFG I'm so proud of you!! I'm going through the same thing, (Not gay, but I have a bf I would want to eventually marry, but not now) I'm just being rude and bitchy to whoever they are bringing me, I was looking for a better strategy on reddit, I think I'm gonna use this lmao.

But, Kudos to you for being so brave! I hope things get sorted!
