      Dear Company I Really Want To Be Hired By,

      You've got those open jobs up on your website and I've applied for two of them. One I applied for a week before you refreshed the notice, the other a week after. And yet, my application's status is still listed as "New" for both positions. I've even called to ask if there was someone I could speak to in order to get my application reviewed. Even if your answer is "no, thanks" I'd appreciate some kind of feedback so I know what's going on because...I actually REALLY want to work for you. Crush my dreams or make my fantasy a reality, but please stop making me live in limbo.

      If I went back through my job search materials for 2011 - 2015, I bet I would identify more than a dozen schools that have yet to respond to my application. At least some of these still have the application listed as "new" on their HR sites. This doesn't count the schools that sent rejection letters over a year after someone else was hired, those that sent me a rejection letter months after I formally withdrew from consideration after taking my current position, or the one that rejected me with a generic email after paying to bring me to campus and put me up in a hotel for two nights. Job searches are just all-around shitty.

        Slept through an earthquake today. Which some might find odd, but as someone who's never been in one who really wants to experience it, and then getting one this morning(I live in Kansas currently), to which my response is to sleep through it. I am very annoyed by missing out.

        MUSH-free since 02/2017

        This may or may not change in the future.

          I've knowingly slept through earthquakes here in CA. If it ain't at least a 4 it ain't nothing special.

          EDIT: 5.6 eh? not bad

            Try Japan... the early warning system made it worse. I'd look at the phone and see this one was rated as a 5... no worries I'll sit through it, maybe take my drink off the table while watching TV. After the big one there were so many aftershocks I really stopped worrying about it. Moving back to Cali it all became laughable. Most of our earthquakes are pretty fast compared to the long rolling ones I got use to in Japan.

            But for RL Anger, why the fuck don't we have a warning system like Japan?!

                Here in rural southern Maryland, earthquakes are pretty much unheard of. We have, however, had one small one (2.6, IIRC) about five years ago and let me tell ya, there's no way on earth I could have slept through it with all the noise from every board and ceiling tile trying to shake itself loose.

                  I'm angry that people who don't even want kids seem to have no problem accidentally having all the kids in the world, but my body is fucking broken and seems to be getting worse. I feel like an evolutionary failure.

                    One of the reasons I am super careful regarding sexual protection, aside from STDs and STIs, is that I'm irrationally paranoid that my desire not to have kids will result in my being super fertile the one time I screw up. Because that sounds like something that would happen to me.

                    That said, I'm sorry. I can't imagine what it's like. I hope you figure out a way. if you do, find someone that loves kids as much as I do to drop whem off with once in a while. We return them, I promise! It's part of the reason we like them!

                      I can attest to this being a thing. Never wanted kids. Used protection. Two kinds, condom and pill. STILL MANAGED TO GET PREGNANT. Double bag it man, just to be extra sure.

                        Pretty sure double-bagging it reduces the effectiveness due to the friction of latex on latex. At least, that's what I was taught a long time ago.

                                More misconceptions. Turns out you can play video games and have sex.

                                Turns out it can be super fun to try to make having sex while playing video games a game itself.

                                Or so I heard.

                                From people.

                                  I was playing Halo with a friend of mine who totally ghosted for 2 or 3 missions. When I demanded an explanation, he provided one:

                                  Well, my girl was over, and she told me that she would start sucking me off if I killed someone, and stop if I died. So I sniped the first chump I found, and hid in the shadows until she was done.

                                  Best explanation ever.
