    what the brain is capable of in terms of being in so much emotional distress that it causes real physical pain. like, "I think I need to go to the ER" pain. fortunately or not, I am familiar with this pain and know it's my brain saying "hey, we're feeling alright at the moment, let's get some of this shit cleaned out" and BAM.

    Hooray for a follow-up interview! :)

    Thank you, deadendp! I think it went well, but we shall see.
    I didn't get it, but I have a phone interview for a new position on Thursday.

    Tomorrow I am recording how I interview with a career counselor.

    Once again, my first thought when someone invited me out was 'what excuse can I use this time?'. Default hermit setting! I feel this is a bad thing and yet I know that I won't regret choosing to stay home alone instead

    This was odd. The HR person has my salary range on the application, and during the interview the HR person told me the job starts at about 25% below my range, and wouldn't come close to my range. I was willing to go lower, but not that low. I've had interviews for positions where the range is in my range, so it's not out of the ordinary.

    if you won't regret it, it's not a bad thing. we aren't all made to be social butterflies.

    See the thing is, I'm pretty sure I'll have a more enjoyable and stress-free night at home alone watching TV :smile:

    The organization reevaluated their salary, and now I have an in-person interview with them. Wow!

    for the most part, so am I. for the longest time, I fought it. then I realized, why am I trying to change myself? from then on, I have absolutely relished being on my own.

    Realised last night that I don't think I've ever (knowingly) met a Jew. May seem a random thought but I just happened to have a lot of questions last night that only a Jew could answer. I know there are some here so maybe come find me if you'd be happy to discuss some things :smile:

    We are selling the hunting property. I am so sad. 25 acres of raw forest. And now I will no longer have access. So so sad.
