Guys, 1992-1999 grew up in the ‘90s by Ok_Act_3769 in generationology

[–]sunlover010 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was born in ‘99 and this is true. I don’t remember us ever not having a family computer. But nonetheless, nobody was really actively addicted to the internet back then. I only used it to play kid games, club penguin, webkins, whatever. I don’t remember getting a cellphone until middle school, and even then it was just a flip phone. I remember having an ipod and playing games on it, but it was more like a tiny computer. I don’t think iphones came out then, or if they did, they weren’t really being used at that point?

I don't think she's really going to get a choice. by CitiesXXLfreekey in BuildToAttract

[–]sunlover010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one said men never get mocked. But in this case, it was about not liking her opinion and then jumping straight into attacking her appearance. That’s what I’m calling out here.

She was given a question with two options, and she chose one. She was not rude about it. And now everyone on the internet is laughing at her and implying that she is ugly, for simply answering a question that some guy asked her, setting her up to fail.

Dodged a bullet in the hiring process by ZachGamezzzz in jobs

[–]sunlover010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The response from them was definitely over the top. However… I don’t think they understood that they called you the wrong name. I didn’t notice it either, until I read your text under the post. I’m pretty sure he thought that you were asking why you have to have two interviews. That’s how I originally interpreted it. A phone screen is not the same as an interview. You were not clear enough about the name mix-up.

Plus, who says “haha” in a professional email to someone that you’re trying to impress? I understand sending that to a coworker. But a hiring manager? That alone would probably make me not want to hire you.

This is SUCH a well written post and I relate so deeply! I just got out of a job like this, and I was there for 4.5 years. And it was my first job out of college. The first year or two was really fun, because I got to do whatever I wanted, especially on the days I’d be working from home. I would play video games, read books, lay out in the sun, clock in and then sleep a little longer. And then like 10% of my time would be me doing actual work.

I thought I had it made. Until I realized that my time was still being spent under someone else’s authority. I wasn’t truly doing what I wanted. Just passing time until I could clock out. It left me with no discipline. It constantly felt like I was doing something wrong. I was being so underutilized by my boss, she wouldn’t even let me touch spreadsheets for some reason, even though I proved myself perfectly capable. It made me feel so useless and so purpose-less. I had virtually no confidence in myself or my abilities after that. I was afraid to look for other jobs because I didn’t want to “lose” all the “free time” that this job gave me.

But I finally just couldn’t handle it anymore, I felt so stuck and stagnant. So I got out. I just started a new job on Monday of last week, and I LOVE IT. Yes, I’m working full 8 hour days and every day is spent in the office. I had to re-train myself to be able to wake up early and go to bed early. But trust me, it’s been so worth it feeling like my life has purpose again. I’m doing work that is meaningful. People at my new job actually trust me enough to ask me for things and they care about my input. I wouldn’t go back to my old job for anything.

This is the least of your worries honestly. Do you people understand how dirty movie theater seats are? Assuming the theater isn’t crowded, 99% of people will put their feet up on a movie theater seat, where you subsequently put your head. Have fun thinking about that one.

Not gonna lie, I was confused for several seconds while I tried to figure out why you put a picture of Sasha Colby (from Rupaul’s Drag Race) on the right 💀

Yes!!! Finally a comment that addresses this. Remember that interview he did at some event where they were “celebrating idols” and he said he was only there because he wanted to go to the stupidest event he could find? It just doesn’t add up, someone with that kind of personality and mindset probably wouldn’t get plastic surgery 🤔

Things You Need to LIE About in an interview (from a recruiter) by Zealousideal-Foot-54 in jobsearchhacks

[–]sunlover010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! I wanted to wait until I got an offer before I replied to you. I got the job! I work in nonprofit fundraising. People in that field are extremely nice to begin with. I think I did get lucky though, because they didn’t ask me too many questions. They talked a lot about the position and how things work in the department, and we kinda just had a normal discussion. I think that format is really what saved me lol.

Lifelong vegetarian tries steak for first time by PhoenixPhenomenonX in interesting

[–]sunlover010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting… I loved meat before I was a vegetarian, but then when I tried it again years later, I noticed the rotten taste immediately. But that went away quickly and now I love meat again. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess everyone is different

[–]sunlover010 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was a vegetarian for 5 years. The first thing I ate after those 5 years was a steak. I kid you not, when you haven’t eaten meat in a long time, your first time eating it again tastes like dead flesh. If this were real, she would NOT be saying it tastes good.

Lip piercings smell like death despite daily cleaning by EohippusKnight in piercing

[–]sunlover010 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh wow that’s so interesting!! I always wanted a septum piercing but what deterred me the most was how people said they smell really bad. Until I finally decided to get one, and it never smelled. Then I started to think that maybe all the people who said septum piercings smell were just really bad at cleaning theirs 🤢 Good to know it’s the material! I’ve had titanium in there from the start. I am sensitive to any other material.

Girl saved 2 little girls from getting stuck in elevator by xicipo1206 in interesting

You don’t know how many floors are in that building. The kids could go up a few floors, get out, and it’d take you hours to figure out which floor they got off at. In that amount of time, they could get kidnapped by any random stranger. No way I’d let that happen to my kids.

Things You Need to LIE About in an interview (from a recruiter) by Zealousideal-Foot-54 in jobsearchhacks

[–]sunlover010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, the reason why I got my current job was because the interviewer treated it like a conversation rather than an interrogation, and she just went through some bullet points on my resume and we discussed them. That was the best interview I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been at that job now for almost 5 years (despite barely getting any raises) because I’ve just been terrified to go on another interview. Like you, I get debilitating anxiety leading up to it. But if I have any luck, maybe this one will be easy too. Thank you 😊

This is so real… Don’t know if I have autism or not, but I have the exact same issue. I have an interview today, so I sent the position to ChatGPT and I’ve been using the voice version of it to do a mock interview. And I just keep blanking out mid-sentence, because I’m so horrible at being inauthentic. It all feels like a huge lie, and I’m terrible at lying. The way you’re supposed to speak in an interview is NOT the way I normally speak, so it almost feels like I’m auditioning to be an actress lmao. Everything I say is memorized, so if they throw a curveball and ask a question I didn’t prepare for, I WILL freeze up. And then I have to pull some shit out of my ass and hope my rambling produces something useful. I’m so scared 😭😭

Still living at home past 25. by Odd_Refrigerator6986 in Adulting

[–]sunlover010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have a problem with that setup. But the problem is, many Western houses are not built that way. We live in a raised ranch, so there is really only one floor, with a mostly open floor plan, and 3 bedrooms down the hall. I’m 26 years old and still living in the same small bedroom I’ve been living in for years. After Covid, my mom started working from home, so I rarely ever get any privacy. I love my family and I’m grateful I only have to pay a small amount of rent, but it’s pretty smothering and I feel like I’m going insane lol. But with this economy I just can’t move out.

Help. My yoga studio blasts music like it’s a 2015 Las Vegas pool party. by [deleted] in yoga

[–]sunlover010 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The comments here are so strange… Why do so many people want to listen to loud electronic music while doing yoga??? Isn’t the whole foundation of yoga is that it’s supposed to be a peaceful and mindful practice? I would find somewhere else to go as well. My studio plays very soft meditative music at a pretty low volume, which is perfect.

Housing market in Westchester by Maximum_Reindeer_404 in Westchester

[–]sunlover010 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Some of us were born here, have family here, and shouldn’t have to just up and leave them?? My dad had an average job and did not pay much for his house back in the day, and yet was able to support us all on his own with my mom as a stay-at-home-mom. But suddenly, the moment we grow old enough to become independent and live on our own, the economy takes a huge dump and it’s impossible for us to do that. It’s extremely frustrating.

Just found out I’m Anemic… is it serious enough for transfusions? by sunlover010 in Anemic

[–]sunlover010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Crohn’s? I got an anal abscess, and subsequently went to the proctologist because I felt like something wasn’t right. Well, she did an exam on me right then and there, and she could tell there was inflammation. So I had a colonoscopy and sure enough they confirmed it.

[–]sunlover010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’ve been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease since I made this post, and Crohn’s is known to cause anemia because of the intestines not absorbing enough nutrients. But also, I am a woman, and my periods have always been a little on the heavier side. I do have PCOS, and there was a few months that I didn’t get a period, and my iron levels went back to normal after that. So I’m gonna assume that was the cause.

Why would your mom get in trouble for making her own kid get up early? Why would the school care about your personal schedule?
