'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just read the FDA song lyrics to my co-workers, and we think it was written on a dare by someone who was very drunk.
Did anyone here go to High School with a person who showed up later as an editor?
Were they universally hated, even then?

Awww, did I miss out on my chance for hot Otherkin lovin'?
So, I didn't get the job-type thingy (not quite a job, but would have involved the guarantee of a job). Which sucks. But I know I had a not-so-great interview, and... no, it just sucks. Sucky people! I would be great! Totally your loss!
So yeah, I really am moving across the country with no particular prospect of a job, and will have to begin the incredibly annoying job search, during which I will have to bite my tongue so as not to say, "Yeah, classroom management is a big problem, does anyone care if I can TEACH MATH?" Not, as you might imagine, looking forward. Kind of sapped my motivation for today's whirlwind of packing, too.
Oh, who am I kidding? I didn't have any motivation to begin with. But off I go to throw more random crap in boxes!
The voice study results seem intuitive to me, but what do I know? Within the last month, I read an article about a study which supports the theory that sleepy drivers are more dangerous on the road than alert drivers.
That sucks, Emily. But it is way easier to look for a job when you're in the place you're looking. If nothing else, you don't get the "It took me so long to get here for this gd interview! WHY WILL YOU NOT HIRE ME!?!?!?" rage. At least, that's how I remember it.
Much job-ma Emily. Sorry the prospect didn't pan out.

See, I would have thought the opposite, as what sleepy people most want is warm, soft, snuggly pillows and blankies. Seeing as other cars and trucks, bridges, etc. are not warm, soft and snuggly, they would try extra hard to avoid hitting them.
Emily, I'm sorry you didn't get the job. I hope you get something better, that lets you be all, "IN YOUR FACE!" to them.
Oh, Emily, I am so sorry. But, I think this just means there is a better place for you which you will find very soon.
Also? What Cindy Said.
Emily, I'm sorry. The job search process is so damned frustrating.

I'm sorry you didn't get the job, Emily. I did the same exact move (from Boston to SF) with zero job prospects many years ago during a time when jobs were scarce anyway and I survived okay. And (it seems like anyway) you have actual skills that I'm sure will help you find a job sooner than later. I went there having just finished an undergrad film degree. It was stressful but I'm so glad I did it.
