@goth:
thats alright! This site is still active but it doesn't move TOO fast, so you can feel free to get on with your day and come back when you feel like it.
its busy-people friendly xD

@Totalanimefan:
oooo a lot of fun things! I hope your move goes smoothly!

I ended up switching jobs, so I'm pretty happy too. Otherwise been saving so much that I actually haven't gotten up to much.
Its annoying not being able to go out and do many things, but it'll be worth it for our goals

@GoblinsAndTea:
Signs, graphic designs, whats the difference? /jk

not gonna lie though, that sounds like an odd tedious job that I would probably enjoy lmao

the second part though yeah!! I have seen rules against body mods before like this and its so confusing?
Like
my piercings arent gonna get caught in a printer machine or anything?? and certainly my tattoos wont be hazardous in any way?
at that point its probably something like "the owner doesnt like it so we cant do it!" which is a reason I was given against coloring my hair once lol

@MaxIsConfused:
omg, maybe they were just trying to be cute? What a weird way to put it lmao

I feel very suspicious when I get hired too quickly. Like I did get hired from one of last week's interviews, but it was just a phone interview and she barely asked anything? Never met in person, never had a prior interview or screening. She's just like "Yeah I wanna hire you. I'll send you an offer letter within a couple hours when I finish the rest of my interviews"
PFFT
not complaining
maybe she just liked my resume that much

@Sage:
LOL
MY BOSS DID THAT ONCE with a girl he was interviewing in my last job! He wasn't flirting, but he just got randomly excited about things and will take people on a tour. Even to see the back rooms where, for safety reasons cause of machinery, it was supposed to be strictly associates only back there!

Imagine my surprise when I would be the one driving the machines back there and suddenly there's a stranger appearing who could even have a child with them (cause he did this with customers)
and my machine has a million blind spots like

STOP

@neon:
This is actually insanely funny
I've always wondered what would happen if I lied and said I love the store and shop there all the time ect.
I almost did that for an interview with Dillards recently. But I quickly caught on to the fact that I actually didn't know the first thing about Dillards and by the questions she was asking, that probably would have ended up weird.

But I mean, it ended up weird anyways just with me being honest cause I forgot how to talk that day.

@Ruby:
Ohh, my condolences to the funeral. But I am glad you're able to connect with family.
I was thankfully able to do that too recently for my grandfather's 80th birthday. For the first time in 15 years, all of my close relatives were under the same roof again!
It was beyond the meaning of chaos the numbers multiplied, so many of them had several children each..

@Totalanimefan:
Heyyy! I am back
Thank you. What have you been up to?

Hello goth!!
Another one from Enrya has been caught into the Voltra web
I still miss that place. But here we have a lot of users that used to frequent it, so there is a similar friendly vibe!
Hope you find it cozy

I wanna share this silly one but I also want to hear about what was your most awkward or silly job interview?

I had one this morning over the phone. I already got hired elsewhere, but I'll still avoid saying this company's name bc I don't want them to be judged based on this XD but its a... well, idk what to call it now, but its one of the common name companies for sending packages and such.
The first question they asked me was
"describe this company, tell me what you think it is and if you have ever used our services."

Maybe there's a secret psychological answer to this, I've never been asked this in an interview before so I do not know. So I answered as truthfully as I could and in my response I had called them a mailing/packaging service. I used them with my last job to ship packages to customers and to receive packages.

This.. possibly offended her? She grumbled at me and I cant remember what she said, but after this she became short for the rest of the interview while she's reading off information to me. There were more silly things, but at the end she came back at me about my description that she didn't like.

And she raised her voice to spit it like a dagger
"we are N O T a MAILING SERVICE!

We deal with loading and unloading, labelling, shipping, packaging.."

and proceeded to describe what a mailing service does
o v o

Perhaps there is a secret to this company that I did not know going into this phone call. But it resulted in something I thought was quite funny.
Hope that person has a good day.

Now its your turn! Have any funny interview memories?

Ahhh and I got my dates wrong, so tomorrow my home internet gets shut off
o/
I will be a mobile internet person after today
maybe I will read books so much more without the distraction of my 'puter

@Sage:
Thank you!!
I'll be working back-of-house for a clothing company. I ended up quitting my last job for safety reasons, so now Im just starting from scratch again! It feels nice, I got a really good vibe from the HR manager so far.
the fact that there IS an HR manager is also a bonus, my last job didn't have one
I get to wear comfy shoes and everything! No more business casual and cult-like meetings~ hahaha

I also desperately need to update my wardrobe so I hope they have good discounts... I forgot to ask lmao

I have been HIRED
Yayyy new job new job

@Sage:
I'm always itchy
for me its probably the eczema kdsghjh

and today I have another interview via phone
although I keep sneezing so this will be silly I'm sure

@Sage:
I'm doing well! Its very hot outside today, but in a way kind of felt nice going out for a bit.
I spend a lot of my time indoors

How are you doing?

Today in Jolly updates:

Interviews!

I've been applying like crazy to find a job recently
a bit tricky in this town while riding the edge of a recession
I had two interviews last week. One that was in person and didn't go very great I felt so rusty, I goofed my words a lot. The other was on the phone and went very well, and scheduled for a second interview tomorrow over zoom.

Today I rejected a different interview for the people being rude (which was bizarre cause Ive never rejected one before), but I was excited for tomorrow's interview.
Then I got a text saying that it was TODAY
even though I didn't get it wrong, I have their confirmation for tomorrow. But it was a 3rd party contractor being a middle-man. So I just took myself to the job to ask directly.

They didn't even know I had an interview scheduled at ALL

Its scheduled for real this time but man
I feel like.. this process is a lot more wonky than I've experienced in the past..

@Sage:
I always wear these feets
it feels wrong to take them off at this point, my avi has become a character of sorts!

Thank you~
I love my animal childrens.

Welp
This is my last week of having home internet
my apartment complex is cancelling their contract with the internet company, since that company is actually very bad to work with.
It'll probably be a couple months before I can afford to raise my monthly bills by how expensive internet is here, so I'll be living off my mobile data for a bit!

Thankfully voltra is pretty easy to use on mobile iirc
