Where you call up the places you applied to, ask to speak to the manager, say "This is [insert name here], I applied for [insert job here] on [insert date], and I'm calling to follow up."

It's very important, since it lets them know that you're still interested in the job (and, among other things, it could let you know whether or not the job is even available).

Only do it when it's been a week or two since you applied, though. No need to pester.

I shall give that a try. Thanks!

I can't do anything today. I can't think because one half thinks this and the other half is appalled by what the other half is thinking and I can't resolve it because I'll probably just cry for another twenty minutes. I can't write, because whenever I try, the character just turns into me and the story turns into me fighting myself. Y'know, back when I was a kid, I thought puberty was just when you were thirteen or something, you'd feel excruciating pain for five minutes and then it's over. I was only half right, it's actually excruciating emotional pain and it certainly lasts longer then five minutes. Overall, I want the old me back. He made funnier posts.

Today really isn't my day today. I really feel out of it, and I wasn't able to accomplish any school today.
Oh and I feel like passing out x3.
Anyways~ I'm hoping some feel good Sunggyu music will make me feel better ^^.

In a world where people film other people harming babies.

I've looked at some posts I've today and before today and I can't believe all the little typos I make. I mean it's not line terrible grammar just putting in the wrong by misspelling it or something like that and it drives me crazy.

I just called the people at the job and they told me to call back after lunch? I said "O.K when the best time?" They said "Umm ...After lunch?" (guy hangs up)

Why am I getting the feeling that this is going to end badly?

That is the most Beavis & Butthead reply I have ever heard.

Now I think the place that I applied a job for may have lost my application. I'm going to have to double back for it........

So, I was playing Trials: Evolution, I got stuck, and when my sister made a suggestion I said I WAS doing that. Then my Dad said it was how he got the record and I snapped at him and said something along the lines of
"I AM DOING THAT! YOU'RE TELLING ME TO DO THAT BUT I AM AND-" Then he told me to just settle down. It was quiet for what felt like an eternity. He told me it was good that I was standing up for myself when I apologized but I know what I did.

Extra: The Disappointment thread has more pages than The Positive thread. That's disappointing...

Don't you just hate it when your family only knows one side of you and they think you're the perfect little sibling/son when in reality you're DEFINITELY not perfect?

let me explain. My special week talk has come and gone and, unintentionally, it was very shaming. What I mean by that is, they were talking about what they liked about me and then they said I had GREAT self-control... anyone who's been following my recent posts in this thread should know EXACTLY why that is wrong. So naturally, my day is ruined because of that.

PS: Let me explain to those of you who DON'T celebrate "special weeks." Special weeks happen every week and, in youngest to oldest order, a new kiddo is chosen every week.

PSS: Does anyone else celebrate special weeks?
