I would second this, it’s not a bad idea to get a second set of eyes on your resume & application before you send it off. Your school’s career center may also be able to help you with this. They might even have some job leads. Well, in non-COVID times anyway.

So here’s a fail because I’m a massive idiot.

Last week, I was building a gazebo by myself. While trying to get it up on its four legs, I had the heavy part fall on my back. Due to that, I’ve taken more than my daily allotment of painkillers. Because of that, I ran out of pain killers 3 days before my refill date. So, not only was I in massive pain, I was going through withdrawals. Thankfully today was refill day and I got my fix but fuck, was that ever a dumb move on my part.

Uhh

watch out with the fix gettin'

Paid 20 bucks for some cold ass food because the grubhub driver 'doesn't knock after 9pm' "people don't like that"

like the fuck dude just left it on the porch.

Had a cold ass dinner but at least grubhub refunded me

Funny part is i had a 10 dollar bill ready to hand him for a tip, too, but now even the 20% tip from grubhub itself got refunded also

I mean been on careers/careeradvice on reddit and had my resume touched up like 8 times now and same result every time

I've come to the conclusion that if some entry level job wants to reject me twice, they never get an opportunity to do so again. Those demanding long online "personality tests" can get rekt, too. Some personal pride relative to shit jobs has to come into the picture at some point and your repeated applications may even be triggering an auto-reject. It's further possible they're hoping to snag otherwise overqualified people due to pandemic unemployment, not really realizing those same folks will probably quit once better prospects reappear. But yeah, quit wasting your time with them, because if they're this stubborn about even getting you onboard, they're going to be that much swifter to kick out when someone more to their liking appears.

So on vacation and turns out they closing bars midway thru with no real warning. Decide hey let's get our bar hopping done now.

First one we go tries to tell us some bs about having wear masks while seating at a table drinking... meanwhile most everyone else there isnt... at least not properly. Like most that had one were under the chin on guy had one on his head like a hat.

Tropical storm hitting while we were planning on going to an outdoor patio bar for my birthday.

Guess I'll have to get day drunk at home.

Postman complains about bees at the mailbox at our office and says he won’t deliver mail until we deal with it. I relay this to boss. He says go spray wasp killer out near the box. I go outside and discover not bees, but yellowjackets, hard at work building a nest. I tell my boss this and we need a professional to remove the nest. He tells me to go ahead and spray until we can get one out there. I said hell no. That was at the end of the day yesterday. I guess I’m gonna spray this morning while they are not as active. I have all this in text message in the event I get stung. fml

This. Make sure you know exactly where it is, and go quickly too. I recommend having a few cans at the ready in case just one isn't enough depending on the size of the nest.

I grew up in a rather ugly split level that sat on gorgeous land. Half an acre backed by MILES of woods, a river running through it, just fantastic. Tons of trails to run and play on, it was great....right up until it wasn't. Running after some friends one afternoon I planted my foot on a fallen tree to jump over and follow everyone. Sadly I hit a weak spot and my foot went straight through, at which point I was literally knee deep in an enormous yellow jacket nest. I got stung so many times you couldn't count. If you've ever seen Tucker & Dale vs Evil you'll get the idea. My friends stopped in confusion at what they were seeing...then ran as fast as they could as I drug the angry hive towards them in my crazed, leg flapping effort to escape the Angry Swarm. Good times.

A couple years later, walking in to the back yard through a gap in the evergreens that lined the driveway I almost walked face first in to another nest. Little fuckers had built it almost overnight. Luckily I saw it at the last moment and engaged Emergency Limbo Mode to avoid disaster. The nest was nuked later that day.

Yellow jackets suck.

[arus2001]

Yeah, I don't miss the time I got swarmed taking out the garbage when they nested at the base of a nearby pole.

Cracked a tooth and had to get it removed today. Cant smoke, drink alcohol or soda, and no eating pussy for 5 days. I can only eat soft foods too. FML

I did get some Norco, so at least I'll feel nothing for a while.
