Let's Start a Massive Construction Project Whilst People are Trapped Inside

It’s really fucking hard to focus when the city you live in decides it’s time to do construction on your street. Constantly there’s buzzing and grinding and loud noises and the other sounds of construction that just never stop. (Ok they do stop but that’s like after 5pm so it doesn’t count.)

 

Don’t get me wrong, my road needs a good repaving so that it doesn’t feel like I’m going to bottom out my car each and every time I choose to leave my driveway, but to choose to start the construction whilst everyone, except for the construction people who are apparently essential, is stuck inside their homes is just crazy to me.

 

Like I guess for those constantly on zoom calls there’s a lot of people going “oh sorry about the background noise, they are just digging up the old sidewalk and putting down fresh new concrete.” For me, it’s a, “GAHHHHH I CAN’T FUCKING THINK LET ALONE STUDY FOR THE NYLE RIGHT NOW!!” And since I live alone, I am either talking to myself or to the houseplants I’ve managed to keep alive for like a year now.

 

But, I guess it will all be worth it if the road turns out as nice as the sidewalks when all the jackhammering over.

No Phone Case, No Problem

I took my phone out of its case so I could clean the case and my god do I love a naked iPhone. I just don't want to put it back in the case. I know I probably should put it back in the case so I don't get a cracked screen... but then I remember I once dropped my case-less iPhone down a concrete flight of stairs (like the kind of massive concrete staircases in major sports arenas) and it was like nothing happened. Not a dam scratch on that thing! So for now at least, I'm gonna live on the edge! No case! Knowing full well that I will put the case back on the second I drop my phone on my nose because I don't have a good grip on it without using a popsocket.. and the popsocket is on my case... ✌

So, Where Ya From?

"So, where ya from?" To most, it’s a simple question. An icebreaker. Small talk. To others, it is not so simple of a question. The question is asked at networking events, conferences, first dates, sorority recruitment, and even during the icebreaker games professors play to start a new semester. It is a question with the potential to launch a rudimentary bond between strangers. The question is a starting point. It’s an easy question to ask but what about the answer? Like I said before, it depends. Some people are born and raised in the same town their entire life, others move to a different city/town in the same state, and others move a bit further away. I personally was born in one city, lived in the suburbs of that city through elementary school, moved out of the state before middle school, and eventually moved to where I live now for grad school. So, when someone asks me “so, where ya from?” I don’t always give the same answer. I don’t overtly lie to them, but I might...

Job Search Problems - NON-COVID EDITION

Searching for a job during the pandemic has been rough to say the least. It's a constant sending of resumes into the void and slowly losing any shred of hope you may still be holding on to that you get a response. Not even a response for an interview but just a response. Even if it is a rejection, it's at least something - rather than just twiddling your thumbs and hoping that even though its been a month, two months, three months... that someone is just taking a long time with the hiring process, instead of simply not spending the time of day to ease the mind of an applicant. Yea the argument can me that time is money and taking even 30 seconds to send a form rejection email is time someone just doesn't have but I think that is a whole heaping load of bullshit.  Now not every company or firm falls in this category. Some do in fact send out a form email to say they went in a different direction or another candidate more accurately fit their needs. But those companies and fi...
