    Just had a pretty good digital interview (yes, this is where we are today. had an interview where it poses the questions and you send in a video response), and my mom surprised me with a massage next month! And seeing a movie together tonight. It's a tough day today, but these things are making me smile.

    Unsettled by censorship on the 'Unofficial' fb page, guess I forgot it is pretty much an American page...

    Sorry to hear about that. There's been a bit of that going around in several places this week. Is it a case of people not understanding or not wanting to understand? I am not on FB.

    The fact that the world seems to have changed almost over nite with a combination of very bad situations around the world right now. There's a feeling of unease not unlike the dramatic change we had when 9/11 happened.
    late PJ bloomer- what was I doing in the 90's that I didn't know who Pearl Jam was???

    Sam, I'm absolutely convinced you will land a great job one day. Just hang in there. Btw, I've never had a digital interview, how did it feel? And how did it go?

    One day being the key words lol...but yes, someday, yes. It's been over a year. I have a great GPA from a great university, where I did 5 internships throughout college, did part-time volunteer work in the field I want to get into when I was where I was before moving home...sometimes it's just crap luck. You can do all the right things and just have bad luck.

    This digital interview went better than the last one, as I knew what I was getting myself into (this company used the same platform as the one I had previously interviewed with, so I was familiar with the interface). It's nerve wracking to have a set amount of time to answer, seeing yourself on the screen, and only having one take. That messed me up a bit the first time, but I found this set of questions to be easier than the first time around, and combined with being familiar with it, I think it went a lot better. We'll see!

    Exactly. It's really not on you. And yes, it sucks at times, I know, I have been applying for jobs too... But you will get there :)

    ^^Good luck to you too! And thank you for your kind words :)

    Excited to see Death Cab for Cutie tonight! Haven't ever caught them and have been wanting to since I was in middle school. Should be a great show! Explosions in the Sky opening, too!

    Also on my mind: Today, I heard an old friend of mine from high school went through breast cancer last year. At 22. We lost touch a few years ago in college after she deleted her social media, but I always really liked her. Went to brunch with a mutual friend of ours today, who is close with the old friend who was sick, and she told me the news. Horrible. I was gut-wrenched hearing the news. You just don't expect to hear that someone your age had to go through breast cancer. Glad to hear she's doing better now, but it really makes you think. Life is so fucking fragile.
