Ohh, I've never done anything really involved in a gym before. I usually want to try the weights, but they're always occupied so I just spend an hour on the elliptical or the treadmill whenever I've gone (which is exceedingly rare because it's usually only when a friend wanted me to tag along). I did see that there was a gym nearby so that might be nice to join just to get out of the house. I have an elliptical I purchased while in school but it's kind of creaky and I hate this house.
Hope everyone is doing well.

@Totalanimefan: Oh yeah, that sounds exactly like what I'm running into. It's so weird that employers are enamored with this $17-an-hour number and then act bewildered in the same breath when their employees have no qualms about not showing up or not doing the work. My own partner chastised me for asking for "too much" and it honestly made me pretty angry that he would compare me to his employees and the expectations there.
I'm not having any luck with unlicensed associate positions, so I thought I'd try for paralegals. I get that they pay much less, but I expected at least a livable wage. My friend is having trouble finding work, too, and one interviewer told her 'we chose a candidate with ten years of experience instead, k thx.' This was for a paralegal position. At this point, I'm applying for anything in earshot because firms want you to be in good standing (which I don't have yet). I even applied for immigration and family law positions. //makes a 'blech' sound. I am just sending out a resume to anything now.
At least, though, you should be paid more than you made at your last job. Let's face it, the "benefits" of just about any company these days wouldn't warrant anything less.

@Count Trashula: I'm pleased I got him just right. He was fun to draw and I'm glad I had the opportunity to draw a male in casual clothes.

@Totalanimefan: Ehh, I'm in the same boat as you with the job hunt.
I'm overqualified in education and under-qualified in experience so I'm a pariah. Plus, the places around here just don't seem to want to pay more than poverty wages to get your foot in the door so I'm stuck. I think a few places knew I'm waiting on results of the exam, too, so it's just a real pile of [quick break with a sponsor].
How about yourself?

I wouldn't have been a user at the time--I don't think.
That being said, welcome back. I'm glad you had the courage to [re]introduce yourself, haha.

Congratulations on finding a new place; I hope the transition out is smooth.
I have been mostly lucky in the places I've lived. The first apartment I moved into lasted only three months because the neighbors in the other side of the duplex shot a gun through the wall and then had the audacity to come over and laugh about it while telling me not to go to the police. I don't think about them often, but I wouldn't feel guilty about wishing they fell into an oncoming truck.

I guess the response to the critique is that the site and the staff don't actually owe the users anything.

@Totalanimefan: haha
I think my partner would walk right into traffic if it meant they could pet a dog. We saw a couple of them yesterday and they were so happy because one popped its head out the window of a car for a few pets.
They were both so pleased with themselves.

I just started making my own spice mixes because I had most of the basics.
My partner thinks it's funny because they would just buy the mix outright, but sometimes they add too much salt which can be kind of a downer.

I love to label things, and I've taken over one of the cupboards with all the spices I have.
My poor partner had only a handful of spices before they met me.

That sounds like a challenge alright.
Whenever I focus on one part of anatomy, I tend to toss out something else. Did I finally get hands? Time to forget the feet. Oh, so you think you know knees? Guess you don't need to know where the eyes go.

@Count Trashula: I apologize for the long wait. Please let me know if the colors are okay; I wanted to make him a little somber (poor kid is so gloomy!).
Additionally, because the style and wait were not what was originally ordered, you’re not required to pay.
