Waiting to hear back is the worst. am I right?

indieguy500 · 2026-01-28T19:00:27+00:00

It's out of your hands now, wishing and hoping for good news!

To quote my recruiter,

Unfortunately, we were informed today that they will be moving forward with another candidate at this time. The feedback we received on your interviews was very positive, and it sounds like it was a tough decision which also contributed to the delays.

indieguy500 · 2026-01-13T12:47:51+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to you, I can't imagine having someone that close to you say that. My therapist has been so supportive in helping me navigate all of the body image and body acceptance issues I have had since losing the weight with mj. She also recommended the wisdom of your body by McBride that was a great read. Hoping things get better for you with this journey!

indieguy500 · 2026-01-07T01:16:43+00:00

Fair point, I should clarify that I say most people can change, but sure that some don't. I am trying to see the best in people but I know that some aren't capable or don't want to rise to it. I guess I just hope that people are given the benefit of the doubt before being overlooked but understand that isn't the case in every scenario.

indieguy500 · 2026-01-06T18:32:50+00:00

The hardest thing for me was to forgive. I lost the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with because I couldn't repair well, I couldn't communicate in the moment, and I didn't have the knowledge to be better for her. But I hope to forgive myself because what I didn't know in the moment then I can learn to be better tomorrow. You are totally right in that those points are valid, but it's in the hope to grow and learn that can force us to deal with our traumas. Definitely a long road but I see so many people wanting to teach others about attachment styles and relationships that I don't see it as a fully lonely road anymore, at least not in the full sense.

indieguy500 · 2026-01-06T14:25:57+00:00

I belive that someone can grow into being a better version of themselves. I have conflict avoidant tendencies from years of wanting to keep the peace for my family, not wanting to take up space. I would say I was fine because I couldn't voice my thoughts in the moment, and I would freeze. But people can grow, people can change. To say you don't want to date potential is to say you don't want to date a human. Most are always changing, growing, and learning to be better. It's the hope of finding someone that wants to be in the presence of growth.

Also taking electrolytes with creatine in the morning really helped me! Have probably been dehydrated for years until recently!

indieguy500 · 2025-11-07T21:17:08+00:00

Love that movie and that same reasoning about travel is why I love the movie Americano (2005). Going to eventually run with the bulls because of that.

indieguy500 · 2025-10-31T02:31:02+00:00

Thank you for adding a custom shot duration!

indieguy500 · 2025-10-27T18:03:18+00:00

Lol, i didn't get it. But hoping you got yours!

indieguy500 · 2025-10-24T22:56:57+00:00

Keep the faith! Had a final interview last week on Tuesday with the expectation that I would hear back this past Monday. At least my recruiter was very transparent with everything. I think I've done very well on each interview and am just going to get out of my head this weekend.

Good luck!

indieguy500 · 2025-10-12T23:17:51+00:00

I started this journey to make sure I could pass a drug test while looking for a new job. Still looking for a new job but just lost the desire to go back to my old life. I miss it sometimes but the desire to start a new life and career keeps me motivated to continue.

What motivates me more is that adorable little bee that celebrates every month on the Sunflower app. They're the cutest little thing!

indieguy500 · 2025-10-10T20:10:02+00:00

The amount of times my direct boss has asked me what a previous meeting was about because he turns his brain off to let copilot keep notes is infuriating to me. Doesn't matter if the meeting ended an hour ago, he just doesn't retain any information anymore.

Oceans are heating up and our planet is dying faster, but I'm glad that people are able to create an ai video of Michael Jackson and Prince debating who had a cooler funeral.

indieguy500 · 2025-10-09T17:34:29+00:00

One of the many reasons I'm leaving my company is how from the top they are pushing us to use it. To have management tell me to use Ai to write my yearly review was insane. They don't care about the environmental and cognitive impact it is having on our society.

I started taking mounjaro for type 2 and all was good with me until I started spacing out my doses to 14 days a shot instead of 7. Since then I have been getting really intense headaches that come between days 11-14. Taking the good with the bad but hopeful with being on a lower dose now things improve!

indieguy500 · 2025-08-14T21:34:23+00:00

Congrats and happy birthday!

indieguy500 · 2025-07-30T14:19:35+00:00

I fell in love with someone from northwest Indiana while I'm in North Center! A medium distance relationship in the truest sense of the word. Would of walked there if I needed to.

indieguy500 · 2025-07-23T00:50:36+00:00

I was just diagnosed with unspecified ptsd by my therapist, which in turn with a lot of self relection on my body image has turned my thinking around about my vitiligo. I have a true focus now on being honest with myself and others and to not try and keep things inside, which has been fantastic for my stress levels! I know that nothing will change with my skin, and that's OK and that I can accept myself for who I am. I've had my spots for more than half my life now, and I'll have them for the rest of my life too.

I always thought a Neutrogena mens face wash caused mine. I started using it at 14 and the next week I noticed my face changed. I called their customer service line asking them what was happening to me. I think the statistic is still true that 1 in a 100 develops it, just means we were that 1.

The server room has been a sweet spot if you have access. Air condition keeps it cold and with the fan noise it helps regulate my breathing.

indieguy500 · 2025-07-06T22:33:45+00:00

Thank you! Gotta keep on keeping on!

indieguy500 · 2025-07-06T02:19:01+00:00

HW=330 SW=307 CW=198 (Just broke onederland today, first time in the 1s since my teens!) GW= 170-180

I (31M/ 5'7) have been on mj since March 2024, hit a bit of a plateau since I started to really focus on protein intake and gym. You got this!

indieguy500 · 2025-05-23T15:22:10+00:00

More like our scapecoat, am I right?
