God damnit, I always think i'm so friendly and borderline likeable in person as well You're definitely likeable! My best guess would be that they passed you over due to being overqualified.

Theda Baratheon Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Damnit. I don't even mention on my retail CVs that I have a degree now. Only in the education bit never in the personal statement because of seeming too overwualified even tho I literally don't feel qualified to do ANYTHING lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterbound Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Fucking football season has started for my son (the shit is almost year round up here) and there are about 75 kids going out for the team. New coaches, new plays, and new parents. And the parents are the worst part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sullen Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The fact that I grind my teeth so much, the damage it has done to them, and the ridiculously high dentistry fee to get them fixed before they deteriorate. As a student, 3K is somewhat of a seriously blow to my savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liffguard Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I still don't really know what I want to do when I leave the military. That's fine, that's not what's annoying me. What's annoying me is when members of the command team think that nagging and scolding me like I'm some shiftless kid fresh out of college is in any way helpful. Yes, I have avenues I'm exploring. No, I don't have a ten-page, annotated, bullet-point plan covering every possible contingency. Holy fuck, I'm a grown fucking man and frankly if I crash and burn and end up a broke, homeless crack addict that's no one's business but my own.

I get on the bus. A woman across the aisle says ''Hi'', I say ''Hi'' back awkwardly and play on my phone. We ignore each other. As I stand to get off the bus, a good 10-15 minutes later, she looks at me, smiles and says ''See you another time''. Again, awkward reply of ''cya''. I honestly have no idea what to think, and it's very hard to convince myself that it definitely wasn't a hallucination, given I was alone and absolutely no-one responded to her, nor did she talk to anyone else. Weird as fuck. Are you sure you do not know her? Or maybe she just thought you were somebody she knew. It is not that odd that you would question your sanity because of it. 14 minutes ago, Theda Baratheon said: I wanna do an MA but I need the money first to go and do it hence needing the better job lol or more hours. Also congrats you'll do fine im sure!!! What is the subject??? Ohhhhh, tuitition fees and stuff ... the luck of living somewhere where studying is free. And both the luck and unluck to do it while living at home with the parents. I am studying languages and literatures. I only have the second thesis to write left, I passed all the exams and defended the first thesis already. Have you thought about studying abroad for one semester or two? I was on Erasmus last year for one semester and it was the best decision I ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good plan! Maybe see into scholarships for students studying abroad. I have no clue if you can manage to find such a course in English, but I hope you can (I am still very much used to the idea that the education programmes in each country are in that country's language, except exceptions). Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of weird actually, in writing the situation seems much more mundane than it felt. I've experienced that before. She was probably being friendly with the "hi" (maybe thinking there would be more of a conversation?) and then some people (like me for instance) will say goodbye to someone they've been talking to even if you've spent most of that time in silence. Probably something like that imo. I'm annoyed that almost all of the trains for the day I want to travel home require me to change trains at Darlington (which is one very short stop by train from where I usually go). I guess there must be track works on but ugh, sigh. And, of course, the non-change trains are significantly more expensive, as are the trains the following day. Joy.

Sometimes, people let out awkward parting phrases with strangers and it's nothing more than a slip of the tongue - I've had total strangers on the phone at my work (I work in a call center) say "talk to ya later" out of, presumably, habit despite the fact that I'll never speak to them again. Could be something like that. Or she was just flirting with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theda Baratheon Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Ya. I mean it's a bit odd and awkward but I've had much creepier encounters and much more often she was probably just awkward flirting and inadvertently making you really uncomfortable.
