[CJ] Monday Night Moping

CJ

My car is making a weird noise and the mechanic said it would probably cost a lot to fix, my temp job called and said they would be ending the assignment early, my boss at my 2nd was really excited to tell me about how she got a hotel room with her weed dealer and cheated on her husband, and my room mate forgot to pick me up from work and my cell phone is dead so I'm waiting for a cab.

Right, and I guess you guys can complain too.

hopefully, she won't have to make any more car payments and can retire.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm constantly worried that one of my parents is going to get into a car crash. I'm glad to hear she's okay.

I'm bummed that for the third year in a row I don't have any Halloween plans or a party to go to.

The silver lining is that I'll have Stranger Things 2 to keep me company.

i would be down for all the christmas parties, but they usually require costume and I don't fuck with that shit

1
TarrlockMr. Ajaxx•

Christmas season usually isn't a problem, I just wanted to dress up as a short-haired Marty McFly :(

You can find a Halloween party at like, any bar?

Have you considered throwing one yourself?

1
WityDudeNotHere pizza and taco obsession•

wear a costume and go to a bar. or wear a black suit and let them guess what you're dressed as.

moping about whether or not I'll get an academic job this hiring cycle. didn't work my butt off for 5 years and now in a postdoc that pays relatively nothing in the bay area for nothing. . . but hey, at least I don't have a partner anymore (broke up this summer after 9 years, wtf, that's another story) and am "portable", as one of my former mentors calls it.

also why does it seem like only crazy internet dudes are attracted to me?

My PhD ex boyfriend broke up with me after 8 years after (among other things) the reality of figuring out how to be in the same place was just too hard for him. Was your breakup related to the PhD?

1
engallop•

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I obviously don't know your story, but it sounds selfish especially after you've supported him along the Ph.D.

And to answer your question, partially. . . when it comes down to it, he couldn't bear the idea of having to move for me. and we are both very career-oriented so at the end of the day one of us would have to make the sacrifice (and clearly neither of us wanted to)

I decided to try Photofeeler today. Both pictures I tested got below average votes for attractiveness. I don't know if that's because I suck at taking pictures for dating sites or my dad has been lying about how good-looking I am for all these years.

Is this a new thing? Why am I suddenly hearing about it?

It sounds vain but like, I think I'm pretty cute so I'm gonna stay away from this one and avoid shattering the illusion.

Sunday I overheard a group of girls talking about how nice my butt was and how jealous they are of it so I said hi to them and they just giggled and walked off.

Go to the mall and ask random people to take a picture of your butt for you. As a bonus, this may even result in a date! edit; make sure to inform the picture taker this is for reddit.

I’m having a batshit crazy phase again and all my friends are like “Nah, no you aren’t.” Like, yes I am and it is tough to stay stable.

It’ll be okay but it isn’t right now.

2
notfromnarnia28/F/NW Ohio 6' amazonian goddess•

Related to moving? Moving to a new place is the worst in the beginning.

Beelzebambi26/F/NH/Puritan punk ass•

Most likely? It’s not as bad as I thought, but having 1/20th of the social circle I did sucks.

1
time_squidOP85% Jim Halpert, 15% Dwight Schrute•

I'm having trouble staying positive. Like, I feel I'm moving in the right direction but I can't break out of this "everybody hates me nothing is my fault but I can't do anything right I wish I was dead" mindset. So I'm with you I guess. ✊

Welcome to your late twenties. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

1
Beelzebambi26/F/NH/Puritan punk ass•

Well, it's a smoother ride so far than my very early 20s at least. I'm a lot better equipped to deal with crazy.

I put about 15 hours into finishing this manuscript over the weekend. Was just putting on the finishing touches of my first draft when I discovered the bug that unravelled all of my calculations. So I had to re-run everything. Was in the office a total of 21 hours over the weekend. Today was a similar length. The manuscript is still not done. And today was the day I started on a new project.

Yaaaay!

Going to sobriety meetings, without someone there who is a hot mess, feels awful.

Would be nice to turn off Instagram video ads for booze.

I'm bothered by Instagram ads for Cheetos, Scruff, and local drag shows. Where in my digital footprint are they getting this?! Drunk DMs to my bros are supposed to be private!

That fucking sucks. Why is your boss even telling you that information? TMI.

She's a gossip. We don't really have a professional relationship but I'm mad at her right now.

hit her up for pot!

seems like the perfect time to leverage that info to turn the 2nd job into a fulltime job

because it'd be great to be managed by that woman!

Fuuuuuck that lol I've worked convenience full time before never again, I can do better than that.

I just work there nights and Saturdays for extra $$$ but it's my only job rn until I find something else...

I found out today that if I defend next summer like I plan, I'd be the second fastest person to finish in the history of my PIs lab. That doesn't give me a lot of confidence that I'll be defending in the summer.

I am constantly hungry, and usually for either bagels or muffins. And not English muffins either.

Also, the front tire on my bike was busted for some reason this morning, and it was brand new as of a week ago. I wanted to take it to a bike shop near my work but when I got there I found out they closed. So now I have a busted bike.

1
WityDudeNotHere pizza and taco obsession•

look for that green tire sealant that repairs punctured tires. I used that when I have a bike.

1
riggorousmenstrual rage•

do you know how to find the puncture though?

1
WityDudeNotHere pizza and taco obsession•

You fill the tire with the green stuff, add air, and it seals any punctures you have that are smaller than 1/4 inch.

ohhhhhh

I get insomnia regularly, I reccomend a combination of melatonin and pot.

I take melatonin every night and it helps. If pot was legal here I'd use it for sleep 😟

Is it at least cleared medicinally? That's how I get mine. Off to the dispensary, bag of loose leaf tea for $20, covers me for about 2 weeks.

I've had really severe insomnia. Not sleeping makes me feel like I'm going insane until I crash and sleep for 12 hours, and then start the cycle all over again. I haven't been dating because the last ghost hit me pretty hard. Hung out with a guy on sunday who seemed really nice and who even developed a bromance with my cat. Haven't heard from him since sometime last night. Bracing myself for the worst. My life is shit.

My sister didn't invite me to my nephew's birthday party (I didn't want to go anyway, but how dare she not invite me),

other sister is still applying to the stupid-expensive college,

one of my co-workers seems to be having a complete break with reality,

I got a totally unnecessary parking ticket today and almost got towed,

and it's only Tuesday. Gross.
