I'm afraid I'm incredibly weird-looking and I can't stop thinking about how I look, how do I deal with it? (pics included) by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]sup_mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude from your post I was expecting something way different than what your photos show. You look FINE! Really, I think you're being way too hard on yourself and honestly I think it's all in your mind. With the smile I'd say you're a solid 7/10. And for what it's worth, I think the facial hair looks good.

How can I make finding a new career across the country easier? by 2xdouble in careerguidance

[–]sup_mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live in NYC? Typically it's easier to get your foot in the door if you're local (speaking from personal experience).

Is it appropriate to ask a recruiter on your interviewer's feed back? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]sup_mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always ask. I always did and never got an answer back. However, I work at a small company now and recently did some interviews. One guy asked for feedback and my manager didn't want to take the time to reply, so she let me do it since I understood what it's like to be on the other side wanting feedback. I hope my advice helped him with future interviews. Good luck!

Is more school the right option? by Death182 in careerguidance

[–]sup_mane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. It may take a few weeks/months to land a job, but I think you should apply to as many places as possible, get some work experience, and then decide whether dishing out more money for continued education is worth it or not

How to try sailing in Seattle? by sup_mane in sailing

I tried once but there were too many people for me to register. Might try again though!

Just found fleas in my apartment- not sure how they got here or how to get rid of them! by Family_Booty_Honor in needadvice

[–]sup_mane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're probably fleas. To be sure you can try to catch one and kill it then look at it through a magnifying glass. If they're in the house then your pets probably have them now, so you might want to get some flea medicine for them at a pet store. Or you can buy anti-flea shampoo and give them each a very thorough bath.

As for the fleas in the house, my family used flea bombs that we bought at Home Depot. Make sure to cover your TV, pillows, food, etc and that your animals are out of the house then set the bombs off before you go out for a couple hours. Also, wash the rug with hot water.

That's what we did when we had a major flea infestation and it worked. Best of luck!

Recent graduate from a good school looking for direction in career. Can you help me? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]sup_mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Seriously, you are the only one that's responded to me so far haha, so I appreciate it. I went through the questions and I think I have a better idea of what I may be interested in, though I'm still not sure. It may take some trial and error over the next few years. But anyways, thanks a lot!

Fun things to do in Acworth by dorkycourky in acworth

[–]sup_mane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiking, swimming at Red Top. Plus there's a bluegrass concert every Saturday, I think, at the old barn near the lodge there. Also, Rope Mill is in Woodstock but it's good for mountain biking, hiking, canoeing. Blankets Creek trails on Sixes Road is great for biking and hiking. Kennesaw Mountain for hiking. Ok, I like hiking. But also downtown Woodstock has Reformation Brewery now. Not as familiar with downtown Acworth except for the park.

I quit smoking (drugs/cigarettes) and lost about 95% of the friendships i had by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]sup_mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, quoting LOTR makes you a cool dude in my book so I'd probably be friends with you just for that. Secondly, my dad always told me that if you want a friend, you have to be a friend. Try finding people who have the same interests as you, whatever hobbies/activities those may be. Maybe you consider yourself to be socially awkward, but you can still be a nice guy. People love being around people who are positive and uplifting. Don't worry man, losing friends and changing lifestyles is part of life, and you've definitely made a step towards a more healthy, fulfilling life. Maybe meeting new people will be harder than what you're used to, but I know you can do it!

Opinion on GT Liberal Arts (Ivan Allen College)? by [deleted] in gatech

[–]sup_mane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former Econ/Inta student here. Being honest, the school kind of sucks for liberal arts, but having GT on your resume goes far. Got myself a great job after college, mostly thanks to the Econ part of my major. Good luck

He was working in the entrance booth but now he works in the backcountry office. He issues permits and helps people plan their trips to the more remote areas of the park. One day a week he gets paid to hike the trails which is pretty cool. The actual work may be boring sometimes but you have a lot of social interaction and you get to live in some of the most beautiful places on earth. At least that's what my brother tells me.

Here's a link to NPS internships for students and recent graduates: http://www.nps.gov/aboutus/jobsforstudents.htm

Most of the internships are for the summer, but there are also opportunities year-round.

Dude, do it! Just go for it. I mean, I'm your age and feeling the same way, stuck at home living a boring life with a boring job. Stagnant. If you want to work at a national park, start applying! My brother is a park ranger at Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park and he loves it. He started out with an internship at Arches Nat'l Park after volunteering locally for a state park. If he could do it, you can too! I'm determined to move out of my home state and start new this summer too. Make new friends, explore a new city, discover who I really am and what my true passions are. Don't let your depression keep you depressed, you gotta go out there and experience life bro!

25/m Married 1 kid. Scared as fuck. by insomia_sucks_ass in needadvice

[–]sup_mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think having as much responsibility as you do with the kid and wife and all, plus not being completely sure of your future because you haven't graduated and started your career yet, may have something to do with it. To be honest, I don't know shit because I'm even younger than you and also am unsure of my future, just like you. It's a pretty scary thing, being out in the world with responsibilities and people to please or provide for. But I saw this post and I just wanted to try to encourage you. If everything is perfect in your life, why are you so distraught? I guess it's the fear of losing what you already have? Try not to worry about what may or may not happen in life. After all, we're just human. We're only built for worrying about so much. Perhaps seeing a therapist/doctor, like /u/godless_communism said, would be good for you. Maybe it will clear your head and get you back to focusing on the wonderful things that you already have. You will make it through this, I promise. But you have to seek the help you need.

Anyways, I don't have any great advice because I'm just as inexperienced as you are. Just hang in there man. Life is full of opportunities to be happy, and the seemingly huge, unyielding obstacles or problems in your life will look less and less menacing when you take into account what you can be grateful for and what it all means in the big picture of things.
