TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

yeah i haven't had to do this in a while because my current job was kind of handed to me, but of course it was for a limited term (intellectually, i couldn't manage to stay there longer than a year anyway) so now it is like PRESSURE time bc i need a job to pay rent and write my thesis and all this jazz but at least whatever i end up doing should be permanent and i won't have to search again for a while.

yeah my jobhunting hate is pretty much the biggest reason i've been at the same job for so long - i hate it but 'better the devil' etc.

Hello guys. I am jobhunting atm too, it is horrible.

how is your study going?

You guys are not making me look forward to graduating from school and looking for a job. On the other hand, when I have a job I will be making money instead of borrowing more and more money to go to school... so it will be worth it. RIGHT?!

that's what i keep telling myself!

haha my degree is completely useless to me, and i've never had any kind of job even remotely related to what i've been studying for the last 4+ years.

honestly, i'm not even sure what kind of jobs i'm supposed to even apply for with an engl lit degree.

MY EXAM IS ON THURSDAY

SHOULD BE OKAY, I'M NOT REALLY WORRIED ABOUT IT

hello itr, i have been too busy to post but i missed u all. good luck with everything, everyone.

hhhello!

wilter you will be fine and i will send positive vibes to you on thursday just in case.

hi! are you moving to brisbane, wilter, i think i read that somewhere.

and i would also like to say: FUCK THIS WEATHER

thanks rr. Yes I will move to Brisbane soonish hopefully.In the next couple of months hopefully.

hopefully.

MY EXAM IS ON MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY

I'M FAILING TWO OF THE CLASSES REGARDLESS SO IT'S NOT SO BAD

dude i failed 10/12 classes in my first two years at uni (straight outta high school).

then i went back age 24 and i think i've failed something like 6 more classes in four years basically because i'm lazy.

in other words: do not stress about it.

this kid just came in and he was I SWEAR the spitting image of damien from OMEN. he marched past me while staring me in the eye without blinking. fuckin crepey brat.

I was out in Fortitude Valley on Saturday night w/ gf, and these 3 dudes were walking towards us, as they approached one of them leaned in right infront of gf's face and screamed "SHIT CUNT MOTHERFUCKING COCK" and kept walking. It was p funny.

I used to get so annoyed with myself if I didn't do well on calc exams (which I never did well on)... and then I'd remind myself that someday I'd be dead and I wouldn't care about my calc test scores.

Guess what, I'm not even dead yet and I REALLY don't care about my calc test scores.

But good luck on your tests, Curt1s.

RR - if the OMEN kid harms you, he'll have ITR to answer to.

I'm not really stressing out about it, I just had some fucked up anxiety issues this semester that kept me from going to lecture as often as I should have. Next semester I should be back in top form.

curtis are you eating/sleeping/drinking lots of water? i know it sounds gay, but seriously not doing any of these things completely fucked up my last year of school and i almost didn't make it through to the other side. also: B vitamins are very very very important.

this job hunt would not be nearly as stressful if it was not occurring in conjunction with my last 3 weeks of school and exams and galas and banquet things. what timing. argh!

yeah y'all know how i decided to say 'fuck it' w/ that theatre history paper - grades probably not gonna matter. i will most likely have perm. job a year before finishing my degree, so no one will be looking at the grades. however, regardless of grade, my marketing project has to be KILLER because it is something i will be able to put in my portfolio.

yes the anxiety thing was my problem too.

You guys, you need potassium when you are stressed. My nursing prof says so! So eat some bananas or avocados or something, too.

i was basically retarded all of last year due to my lifestyle. seriously. i used to ace essays and exams when i put some work in, but last year i honestly felt like someone had climbed into my brain and lasered out half the neurons or something. i couldn't concentrate for any length of time and i couldn't comprehend anything - like, i'd read this novel and then look at the essay question, and i just couldn't find any correlation. it was truly horrible, and i've never felt so stupid in my whole life.

without jordan cheerleading me, i don't think i would have passed any classes in the last three semesters i did.

wow i filled out an online app that was like 3 years of questions and profile-building. i am exhausted and don't want to do homework now!

Yeah it can be so horrible. Having to write like 6 pages of repsonses to selection criteria. uuuuggggggh.

fuck you HR ppl.

yeah plus all those ?s are gonna mean i won't even get an interview. oy.

we just bought a big persian rug

last vestigal punk rock credibilty gone

just get drunk and puke on it a few times

well yes that ought to be workable

i suppose i could just go throw up on a bunch of money instead

KLF! UH HUH UH HUH UH HUH UH HUH

beep boop booop beep!

btw nu-ilx "hey let me take those extra spaces out of there for you boo" post correction is total bullshit and messing with my hysterical posting style

you tell em!

ok back to beer therapy wheeeeeeee

alcohol = the only therapist I ever really loved

persian rug=LOL U OLD

tbh, in the last couple of years i've developed a love of fine bed linen.

fine bed linens are u&k. you deserve them.

I am trying to imagine this Persian rug John and Caledonia have purchased, and I'm coming up with... nothing.

Also fine bed linens = A++++. This is inspiring me to go change my sheets RIGHT NOW actually.

gruff, farmer-like 40yr old dude just asked me about the cat power cd i'm playing at work. never judge a book by its cover.

also: how the fuck do ppl get to age 50-60 and STILL not know their goddamn shoe size or anything even remotely close to their actual shoe size?

typical exchange:
me: so what size do you wear?
stupid person: ohhhh... maybe a 7 or a 8... maybe a 9...?
me: (looking at sp's feet) there ain't no way you're a 7 in a court shoe, lady. those bunions are gonna need a big ol' wide toe and laces.
