I agree with bacon. probably worse than mcdonalds

I'm going backwards. I don't know what I really want to do anymore. shit!

also, ragu tastes like shit. 
 
which makes me wonder is prego better tasting because they put even more chemical additives in it? is there a easy way to get my pasta/parmesan sauce and still be able to get something somewhat fresh and natural?

^^ you took the GRE while you were on chemo???
 
 
I had pretty terrible feedback when contacting professors. Most of them didn't respond at all, others said either they were retiring, really tied up with funding or changing their research directions. I even contacted a professor's former assistant, who went out of his way to contact the professor himself, who apparently claimed that he never saw the 3-4 emails I sent him over a 4 week period. the research alignment was there, but the professor didn't want to talk to me.
 
one thing I read the other day about this, and it might not apply to you. The email game works against foreigners, because professors get bombarded with foreign students' pampering emails. they actually did a case study on this. I might have even seen it from this forum.
 
but anyway. people seem to have different results. I can't see anything I did that was a red flag. Perhaps I just had bad luck of picking the wrong schools/departments. I've had friends who applied to other schools very successfully. These schools never made it on my list because I filtered my school list based on location before research.
 
so after two rounds of mediocre offers, I'm at the point of deciding F* this. I'm looking for a job and indulge in a life of freedom.

I'm part of a unit that makes hydrogen cyanide - hydrogen-fuckin-CYANIDE. The safety/environmental restrictions are ridiculous. Nothing gets done as a result. The amount of paperwork you have to do for everything is so fucked you might as well sign a piece of paper on the stall before you take a shit, just to be safe. There are about 4-5 operators who have 30+ years of experience, and all fixing to retire in the next 5 years. There's a huge dichotomy of really old and experienced operators and really young inexperienced operators, and only a few in the middle. This is a result of the unit sucking so much at retaining its employees, firing employees, and a management system based on fear and intimidation. So in 5 years, there's going to be young inexperienced guys running this very dangerous unit.
 
Same situation with pretty much every other part of the unit (E/I, DCS, managers, operations - on every level). The company has people who retired/fired/quit, and nobody to replace them. So instead of hiring someone new, it distributes the workload to the point where one guys gets the job of 2 or more compared to 10 years ago. I'm actually lucky because the units I mange are small and relatively maintenance free. So as a result, people are quitting because there are more lucrative offers elsewhere with easier tasks. and it's a vicious circle.
 
On top of that, they treat employees like shit, like fucking mules who are supposed to churn out work and progress regardless of the circumstances. There's a huge disconnect between management and everyone they manage. I suppose that's true to a certain extent in every workplace. But this place really sucks at it. I've talked to a couple of my peers, and they show similar signs of impatience with this place.

let's hate our jobs together

I think approaching very slowly is a bad idea. chat her up and make her know you like her. If it doesn't work out, move on. Don't spend weeks and months on an elaborate plan to make someone your girlfriend, when you can show them who you are up front and get through with the first step. that'd be my approach anyway. there's no right answer to this

put it in a blender and shape it into the shape of poop with the fork and prank your roommate

anything that's been prepared and packaged is considered processed, even basic ingredients like flour. you can't avoid process food. but it's easy to distinguish good processed food like freshly packaged meat, frozen veg, milk, vs other stuff like frozen pizza, quick microwaveable meals, where you don't control the ingredients
 
hey.. basically, just stick around the fresh produce and meat sections, and stay the hell out of the isles in the grocery store. ok??

I've never seen a chick do a pull up, proper deadlift, or clean in my life. they always stick around the floor mats or treadmills, and only really wonder towards the free weights with their guy friends or bff. granted, I don't visit the gym all the time, but the pattern is pretty obvious. 
 
by clean I mean power clean. I've seen them do cleaning a lot hehehehe
