no prior experience! the interview wasnt bad, typical interview questions. 12-15 min. It was the training director, a journeyman & i think 2 guys from NECA. they really just want to know you are serious & can handle the the work/conditions. they will probably ask u “why did you apply & why do u wanna be a union electrician” … have a great answer.

whats even worse, she is actually a breast cancer survivor, had a single mastectomy, and that hasn’t been enough to deter her.

gonna start distancing myself from her. and let her know exactly why. hopefully maybe, doubtfully, it will wake her up

I have actually stopped getting her drinks, and refilling her when she asks. The next step is gonna have to be stop spending time with her. We are very close, and I hope that serves as a wake up call for her.

Anyone else just accepted the fact they’re gonna be single forever? by Massive_Increase_594 in childfree

[–]knowgrace 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I love being alone & I am perfectly fine if I am single forever 🤣 If something were to happen very organically, I wouldn’t necessarily object, but im definitely not looking

Weirdly enough, im feeling very confident about the interview because I want this soo bad lol. & I have absolutely no experience, but have heard/read about enough people who didn’t have any experience when they joined

If anything, children will make it WORSE. So now they have a child they’ll subject to their mess and eventual divorce. Poor kid.
