What you’re describing is pretty understandable. But I’ve also been in multi-round interviews where I’m talking to different people but saying the exact same things, which is frustrating.

The ghosting is unfortunate but not new to me, precisely. I should have clarified: when did MULTIPLE interviews start becoming the norm?

Ghosted an applicant I had miss work for three interviews award

Ah there it is.

When the fuck did this start becoming the norm, anyway?

Pretty sure there’s been more than one sci-fi novel explaining why this isn’t a great idea.

Everything is moving very, very fast too.

You mean “Warner Bros. Games is working on another tax write off.”

I’ve come pretty far as a home cook but this is still something I struggle to master. Mostly cause I look at what I have leftover and I’m like “Well I could make this… if I had XYZ ingredients too, which I don’t.”

I do kind of wonder how you go about pushing against a company that has virtually no customer support. Just an AI chatbot or something. No numbers, no emails. It’s not common, but I’ve seen it, and I expect we’ll see more of it increasingly. I suppose at that point you could try to locate their address and mail them a letter?

EDIT: Btw both mastercard and visa DO have simple ways of contacting them. You can email mastercard and Visa has chat, email, and phone call. It was pretty easy to snap off an email to both calling them out. About as hard as signing the petition so I recommend doing that instead.

And this is why I don’t fly anymore. It was never an enjoyable experience (except takeoff. Wee!!) and now it’s even less worth it.

Now I find myself having a depressed opinion on the lack of train options.

Honestly very excited to see this! Will share with my friends but they’re not early adopter types, sadly. I’ll sign up though!

On my last flight the snack cart was coming up the aisle. I was very thirsty and looking forward to getting a drink. Turbulence kicked up–when they were handing out to the row in front of me, they decided they had to stop due to turbulence. (That’s fine, safety first.) “We’ll be back soon!” they promised.

They did not come back. :(

I’ve (slowly) been rewatching it and there’s definitely moments where I’m wincing at some stuff. But what I find most painful is just how much I kind of hate J.D. He’s such an asshole so often! I brought this up to my husband, who loves the show, and he said that watching JD grow as a person was the point, but I don’t know, I feel like you’re supposed to be rooting for him more often than not. The parts that focus on him trying to be a better doctor–sure. Absolutely. Best parts. But so much of the early seasons are mired in his attempts at relationships and those are the worst parts of him.

Ironically have had this happen to me from a dentist. Not the boobs, the sausage.

…What? Where in the world did you pull that from?

Have this at the ready.

She will take the suffering from you!

Appreciate your chiming in. I always squirm a little at jokes that imply that therapy is useless. Even if they’re funny, it’s a difficult topic and it’s sad to think it’s reinforcing that mindset for someone who actually needs help.

I like it when I’m remembered because it means that I was worth remembering.
