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

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

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.

ok i don't really say that but i THINK it aggressively in my head.

sometimes sizes vary from brand to brand or different styles (tennies vs. dress shoes) but yeah, a 2 size range is ridic

I'm getting ugg boots for my bday :D

Because people's feet puff up/widen a bit as they age/gain weight? Happened to my mom.

yeah i can understand that brands are diff, but you can just tell these ppl actually have no idea what their size is, and are quite happy just to keep trying on a bunch of shoes till something fits. lucky i have a good eye for size.

i've been wondering about this 'u&k' on ilx for quite some time but haven't asked: please define.

you gonna die, wilter: http://tinyurl.com/2jv8w3

u&k: urgent and key

thank you!

That's what happens to people who wear the ugg boots in public tho.

xp

so u be like, a closet ugg wearer?

wtf i don't get how she died?? so they got her out and then she was trying to cross anyway, and then she was 'curled in a ball' (??) and the other dude was still holding her hand (??) .... i am so confused

My feet go to shit if I walk around in them. Also, yes, people who wear them in public should be run over by trains.

they're for bumming around at home in.

not womg i r so cuet and twee wearing mah uggz to the supermarket with mah trackie daxx.

You know?

Having said that I do wear flip-flops (as you call them) pretty much everywhere.

you are a wise man, wilter

jandals will fuck your feet in your old age. please stop wearing them.

Okay, what in god's name is a "jandal?"

haha 'jandals' are what you guys call 'flip flops' and the aussies call 'thongs' (i think)

Ah, clarity! In the US "flip flops" and "thongs" are two very different items.

ha yes that's why i opted to call them flipflops.

lol wtf "jandals."

actually, my parents used to call flip flops "thongs" when i was growing up, so that's what i called them for a long time. and my parents aren't from australia. "flip flops" is way more common, though.

my stepdad called them thongs up until a year ago but stopped cuz his students would laugh at him

(i called em thongs too up until a few years ago but y'know times change and ya gotta keep up. must be a west coast thing)

i never wear them so i refuse to call them anything except BAD FOR YOUR FEET PEOPLE

i've heard them called thongs before.

rr, not that i would wear these, but what about croc flops?
