Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was thinking more general than that, along the lines of "showing up is half the battle."
I think the bigger issue for her is that she was just resigned to being rejected again. None of her other friends even got to the interview round.
She had given up on hoping for things for herself.
I always tell people - and remind myself - that the first time you do anything is the hardest.
I am cognizant that I didn't have anything like a Zoom job interview when I was 14. Or really any kind of real job interview until I was between HS and college.
Also, her SotA application process was as involved and stressful as a college application. Which I was a barely able to do at 18, much less 13 when she did hers.
So happy for Matilda!
Congrats to Matilda on getting the job, and to the Zmayhem household for surviving the process!
A co-worker shared this article today, and it really resonated with me. Languishing is *exactly* how I feel lately.
Oh, wow, that's a term I need to know

That feels pretty accurate, yeah.
Woo, a good thing for Matilda!
I get my second jab tomorrow, so I'll probably spend the next couple of weeks scheduling all of the in-person appointments for when I'm at full immunity. I'll have to see if my stylist is still working at the salon, because something needs to be done with this mop of hair on my head.
I also finally got notice from the IRS that I do not, in fact, owe them like $50K and the inquiry is closed. Zero regrets about paying an accountant to handle that for me.

I have the worst goddamn FOMO watching everyone get vaccinated. (I can get vaccinated the first week of May, so not much longer. But still, the wait is making me so impatient!)

Money well spent!
Yay not owing the IRS! Also yay vaccines!
...I had more but my brain is slow today
