exactly - I saw a couple of bad faiths in the comments and I just thought like "c'mon guys, be serious."

I actually did get an email confirmation for the date, time and place. and I confidentially just kept the wrong date in mind anyway ๐Ÿฅฒ really painfully frustrating!

thanks! I've stopped beating myself up over my mistake and am just moving on to the next.

cute! I love informative comics like this.

people always jump to assuming creating an infrastructure that requires less reliance on cars means a flat out ban on cars when really we just desperately need more alternatives to being stuck on the car-only model. of course, rural areas and disabilities and such will mean that cars are sometimes necessary, but there's so much that a fully functional public transit system can do!!

solid advice...! I used to keep a bullet-journal diary but I completely fell off of it this year and used no replacement. I suppose I should use my phone calendar like everyone else.

is 45 minutes really enough??! I'm not particularly gifted with interviews to begin with and would have really liked the prep time :-(

gah! good thing you caught it! (unless you took off work on the wrong day?)

 

a nightmarish scenario came to reality for me yesterday!

so - a month ago, my brother got me an interview for a place that I was really looking forward to starting with. as soon as I got the call for the interview, I mentally noted the date - "28th! let's do this! I'll be so prepared!" I spent some time getting some basic notes ready, then went off to easter break to see family before refining my notes and preparation in earnest.

except, it wasn't on the 28th. it was on the 22nd. which I didn't find out until the morning of, 15 minutes before it was happening, thanks to my brother messaging me wishing me luck. I called them to apologise and begged them to schedule me in later - they gave me 30 more minutes. I cried the whole way getting there, then bombed the interview. I got my rejection pretty swiftly, and I'm so devastated.

how the hell does this happen?? this isn't even the first time I've conjured fantastical dates for appointments and events! I even had my confirmation email to reference, which I just immediately decided was still set for the date that I believed it was. I've always felt upset at how disorganised and absent-minded I am, and it's hard to not see this as a massive character failing. how can I hope to bounce back from something like this? things like this really make me feel like incapable of operating like a normal human being.

$24 AUD ($16.30 USD) for 500 grams of coffee a month. I drink a cup a day and it's enough for me and my partner to get through. I use a stovetop moka pot and get beans from the local markets here in melbourne :-)

jackson is a great resource haha, thanks! I suppose it's somewhere between boredom, attention and generally being quite vocal.

yelly cat problems (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

hey cat community! I have some vocal-cat behavioural problems I was wondering if you all could crack.

my cat boy biggins has always been pretty vocal and chatty, but it's gotten pretty unbearable lately. I've started walking him on a harness at the local primary school (it's open to the public out of school hours). he's amazing to walk - super cooperative and sweet with the harness. but when we're home, he's been non-stop throwing howling tantrums when he can't go.

how do you handle this kind of behaviour? I'm ordering some earplugs and ignoring him in the meantime, but any advice would be great!

master negotiator (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

alt text: a 4-panel comic strip by hausofdecline, in a simple, ignorant art style. panel 1: three individuals in suited corporate attire are assembled for a meeting, two seated together, one opposite. the left of the two: "You may be renowned for your negotiation skills, but we will not go any higher than 12%." panel 2: pulling in closer to the third interlocutor, he, with a smirk, goes to pull something out from his briefcase. panel 3: he has pulled a gun, holding it to his head, wearing a smug expression. panel 4: pulled back out to the three businessmen again. the one on the left states, looking irate and exasperated, "Fine, fine. We'll go to 15%." to his right, his fellow associate looks to him says, "See? That's why he's the best." the negotiator across from them remains unwavering, his gun still trained to his head.

skinamarink! I heard many mixed reviews but I'm glad to say that my experience of it was great. it's slow and weird and is quite abstract, but I actually got quite immersed.
