Date: 2021-08-06 12:07 pm (UTC)After being unemployed for almost a year coming up now, it feels almost weird to "maybe" be back working again (or just, being at least close to something akin to a job because nothing's decided yet). I just want somekinda normalcy back in my life, either thru consistent work, or studies, or both.
Came across this megamix and it's pretty cool. Do you guys got any recs for your favorite remixes/mashups?
Other random videos I've come across this week:
Resin art sculptures are so neat, also there's something almost therapeutic in these videos

Date: 2021-08-06 01:37 pm (UTC)I've been on job-hunting as well the past months (after graduating).
I have to say it's easier to go look for a job than to get a studying place.
To the posts I applied I left with a good feeling, I'm not nervous at all. I overcame a trauma (I had a big bad experience in the past). I'm just showing myself who I am, in an open, but focused way. If it doesn't work on one side so be it. It's their loss anyway, lol. I've grown a lot in the past years - with all the up and downs - I'm more confident in what I want (and don't want). I think there will always be days where I'm not feeling good at all, but the good days to look forward to will outweigh.
Today I received a call from a potential work place: They want me and are offering even better conditions than I imagined. Definitely a plus is that it's near where my social environment is, but I did send applications on a large scale — I could have moved anywhere, it only has to be appealing. The HR will sent me the paperwork the next few days, so I'm looking forward to it and that they will be true to their promises bc I have experience where it wasn't the case. I actually still have a try out for next week (it was one of my other favourites) and I'm contemplating how to operate.

Date: 2021-08-06 01:52 pm (UTC)I, too, am sort of working thru a bad previous experience, basically a bad previous work place which lead me to burnout, which is why I try to be smarter this time around and find out if the work places I look into have the kind of job culture that I want. And on that regard studying could also be something that'd do me good in this time in my life. Choices, choices.

Date: 2021-08-06 01:30 pm (UTC)i recently moved from goodreads to storygraph to document my reading — next to being happy that i'm not using an amazon-owned app anymore, what i also like about storygraph is that they give you an overview of what kind of books you read. apparently i read a lot of emotional & reflective middle-paced books this year and 80% non-fiction (this last part is shocking to me! i usually read more novels). it's really easy to transfer your goodreads data to storygraph too! would recommend this app
also, although kpop twt is the absolute worst, i cannot leave because it brings me memes. this week i've laughed so much about people finding old jyp photos with random western celebrities

also i wanted to write: hope the job interview works out for you! it's so difficult getting into the job finding routine again after being unemployed (and applying for jobs sucks!!) so i'm hoping you'll be able to find something good :)

no subject
Date: 2021-08-06 07:17 pm (UTC)TBH mostly mediocre-ish books lately, but the one I'm reading now (Why the Germans Do it Better: Notes from a Grown-Up Country by John Kampfner) is shaping up to be really good! Also I've got a few very promising books coming up in the pipeline (e.g. The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York - ahhh i am SO excited for that one!! And then another book called "Sidewalk" that looks into the socio cultural environment of homelessness.)
What about u? I'm always up for recommendations!

Date: 2021-08-06 09:16 pm (UTC)i'm currently reading beloved by toni morrison which is really good and eery. before that, i read queenie which was an easy read but very lovely! would recommend both :) i usually read fiction even though this year is a bit different

Date: 2021-08-06 03:00 pm (UTC)My top coworker is changing jobs, next week is their last. I hate it so much it's even having me consider changing jobs myself - not seriously, but at least thinking about it for real for the first time in a long time. I hate most of my coworkers but in my core team I'm pretty happy, but if the person who replaces this person sucks, the ratio will shift so dramatically that I might have to at least try. Life is too long to spend it more miserable than necessary.
no subject
Date: 2021-08-06 03:38 pm (UTC)ugh no :( i can imagine! nice and fun colleagues are so important to make work bearable :( do you already know who will replace them?
no subject
Date: 2021-08-06 04:01 pm (UTC)I'm good, the week was great (without the coworkers lol), but I am bored. The weekend is the same as any - or so it feels anyway, not much happening, pandemic life is so uneventful and I'm easily entertained but the boredom is getting to be a bit.
Yeah, I didn't realize the importance of nice coworkers until I had a really bad one (not at current job). It's really night and day isn't it, eve if the job stays exactly the same. I "know" who will be the replacement and they start next week already but I haven't been involved in recruitment at all and never met them, only seen the CV and name etc. Hopefully it's someone nice and competent, but I feel like those are the minority lmao (I have one smaller task that's supposed to be taken over by another person, and it took me around a month to learn everything there, on my own, and now even with me holding this person's hand, we are at 7 months and they still can't do anything on their own omg)

Date: 2021-08-06 04:53 pm (UTC)i'm alright, i'm enjoying my holidays still but this week i've been soooooo exhausted even though i'm not necessarily doing a lot lol! maybe i'm finally truly relaxing or something. i went with my mom to a museum today and walked around parts of the city center where she used to work when she was my age which was fun, but it was soooo crowded i got a bit stressed lol
yes exactly! i've had an unsafe work environment in terms of coworkers at my old job and it was terrible. i really hope they'll be nice and competent for you too, and also someone you can bond with a bit :) work friends are so important! and yess it's bizarre how many incompetent people you have to work with sometimes, even if they've been there for a long time! sometimes i can blame it on bad training (my previous and current job is terrible at training people) but when i worked for local gov there were fossils working there who were so incompetent making me puzzled why they were still there. but the person you're talking about seems quite incompetent... sometimes they're also just very insecure

Date: 2021-08-06 05:49 pm (UTC)Hmm for the weekend I bought some dry tapioca pearls and will attempt to make my own bubble tea, does this count as something to be excited about lol? I am not confident though, I tried once years ago and it turned into one large clump :S
I think you're finally relaxing! It takes a while to really get relaxed, when does the next semester/your work start again? I'm sorry you've had those bad work experiences. Do you feel supported at your current place even if their training is not the best? The person who is supposed to take over my mini tasks is also a older than me by like 15 years and has worked there a long time (whereas I was new when that month started). But he's a nice person (like one of the nicest people there, and very easy going), so I think that's why I haven't been rougher on him (even though I probably should be), plus I want him to fully take over and I haven't wanted to get on his bad side lol but it's just unbelievable how little effort/and or dumb people can be.

Date: 2021-08-06 06:50 pm (UTC)those are definitely rare! :( but talking to former coworkers can be more fun sometimes because like you say, you can talk more freely :) when i left my previous job some colleagues would still contact me to complain (even if they didn't feel free to do so with me before lol)
to me that sounds exciting!!! and courageous! let me know if you're successful this time? sounds difficult! (sidenote, when i was walking through the city center here today i noticed sooooo many boba places have opened recently — some of them look good, but others seemed pure tourist traps)
yeah i guess? but i'm a bit annoyed because now i don't have the energy to fully enjoy my free time lol. i am starting again inofficially in 2 weeks, but i semi-on purpose planned a small holiday in the week i am supposed to start — end of august i will really start working again and second week of sept classes will start!
oh yeah it's not perfect in this job either but 1) i am good at finding my way without training after these experiences and 2) my coworkers are super nice! how was this like for you in your previous experience, if you want to talk about it?
lol well at least he's nice :) but it's definitely baffling how someone like him can stay in his position without any consequence

Date: 2021-08-06 07:16 pm (UTC)Thank you, my courage is waning but the desire for some kind of semblance of bubble tea is keeping me going. I will let you know how it goes, I think I’ll try a an earl gray since that seems easy and I can focus on the bubbles lol? It’s interesting that there are so many new places showing up there, even in pandemic? I hope the proper ones are successful but so often the really tourist cash grabs for some reason are the ones that catch on?
It’s great that you feel so much better at the new job! And yeah, lack of training can also have that effect and it’s definitely a benefit to you both now and in the future, but they (and so many other places) are terrible and really benefitting from your hard work and ability to adapt, which they don’t deserve. I definitely don’t mind lol (you know how rambly I am!). Here it comes - I had a boss who was always in a pissy mood, and would take her stress out on others. It wasn’t directed at me only so I didn’t take it personally (I generally don’t take things personally, and probably seem a bit indifferent to new people), but it was so tiresome. She had her own office while the rest of us peasants sat in a landscape, and she would barge in when ever she needed something shouting for this or that person, when she easily could’ve taken the person(s) into her office. So we always had to listen to everything. She didn’t speak the language of that country and constantly complained about the local employees not speaking Norwegian, complained that I spoke too much English with them (“you should teach them Norwegian!”) and uhhhh just an ass lol. I think she also had an ED - which there is obviously NOTHING wrong with, but she was incapable of keeping her thoughts to herself and when ever there was food or drinks around, or even if she was eating her own lunch that she’d bring from home, she would comment on the amount of fat or calories. This was in international affairs so there was a lot of parties/social stuff as part of the job too :S She would also comment on my food and how “fattening” it seemed. I had an ED when I was a lot younger and am generally recovered, and was not triggered by this, but imagine if I was? And since I was only there for a short term contract and proceeded AND succeeded by women who were even younger than me, this kind of stuff is just nagl and I know at some point she’s going to upset someone if she hasn’t already. Especially as the boss to sets their work tasks and writes a future recommendation, it’s not easy to say uh please stop talking about the thing you’re always talking about. So I was in a pressed situation but at the same time I probably put up with it easier since I knew it was temporary? I can’t imagine if a permanent boss was like that, I would definitely start looking for other stuff then. (Also interested in hearing about your previous experiences, but of course only if you’re comfortable, and you can also DM if you prefer.)

Date: 2021-08-06 04:59 pm (UTC)The vaccine thing is so... In the U.S. we're talking about third shots and pushing vaccines into all populations (apparently now that numbers are going up certain 🐴 are finally going to get shots) but we're also hearing that vast majority of the countries don't have sufficient vaccine access.
why get a third shot for only us if covid is going to continue to mutate and be a threat because the rest of the world can't get one? Ugh. 🔪🔪🔪🔪

Date: 2021-08-06 08:05 pm (UTC)and threatening to pull funding if a school imposes their own mandate!! (looking at you, deathsantis.) it's insane. they're ignoring the very numbers that they tell everyone else to look at.
i'm okay with a booster for the immunocompromised (👋🏻) and ppl with immunodeficiencies, but otherwise... we have god knows how many doses just sitting there that nobody wants. i wonder how differently things would've gone if 45 and his cronies hadn't downplayed and politicized it from the start.
hasn't the US ~conveniently~ been sending doses near expiration to other countries? by the time they get to those places, they can't even use them. i feel like i read that somewhere, anyway 😬

Date: 2021-08-06 05:02 pm (UTC)So far it's been rough lol, but gonna stick to this anyway. Also been thinking a lot about dad, it's almost three months since he died and I try to not feel bitter and hurt about all the things he'll miss. Didion was right when she wrote about grief coming in waves over a long period of time.
I've read a couple of great books recently, but next I need to refocus on my thesis and get back on track because I'm so behind on my research.

Date: 2021-08-06 09:10 pm (UTC)My cousins are back (round 2, electric bugaloo) and oh this time they are testing my patience, but I win every time. The youngest is trying to be so dramatic and such a victim. If you hear her you think I beat her up, when I just told her to vaccum a carpet. (but oh no, that's slavery!) And to mess with her, and i started counting the time she stays in the bathroom. she forgets other people need to use the same bathroom as well, and yesterday she was there for A WHOLE HOUR! I couldn't shower and I was starting to get desperate ( you know, after the beach, i needed to be clean)
Also, I've been getting extremely bloated once more and I've no idea why! I'm 169cm, i'm 57kgs and even thought I know I'm not fat, I feel like a whale, my stomach out of no where becomes huge and I can't even dress my pants T_T Monday I've an appointment with a nutricionist cause I personaly don't know what to do. Im practically vegetarian, I don't ingest anything with lactose, I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, don't drink sugar and what I would call my drug is coffee. I'm kinda getting desperate. I also jump rope 10min per day, so I can keep my weight and have strong legs, lean figure and arms.
but yeah, i'm having some kind of body dismorphia because I do not feel good about my body at all and Im hating my bloated belly and feel like my arms are incredibly fat
