Job hunting

Deer hunting Ok. I think I'm the source of the darkness.. sorry

I realized I'm not dealing, AT ALL lol, so started a thread for unadulterated anxiety attacks (maybe that is me dealing... Dunno)

I feel like starting this thread was my good deed for the week - Another weird habit I've developed is trying to rack up good karma which I hope the universe will put toward my applications... Haha... So I've been trying to be super helpful.. doing pro bono work etc. Just to get some good karma. A couple of nights ago, a taxi rear ended me (was only a fender scratcher, not even a fender bender) and I was so annoyed because 1)dude was driving dangerously 2) it was snowing and I was anxious to get home before the roads started freezing and 3) it was 1 in the morning. So he offered me 20 bucks to get it buffed and I demanded double (my car's got a rear view dashcam thingy) and he gave it to me. Immediately I felt bad, poor dude's just trying to make a living, it wasn't even that bad, I shoulda honked etc and I started worrying that me being mean was gonna come and bite me in the @ss, so I gave the money to my mom and asked her to donate it to her church... When you're GPA ain't so hot, can't hurt trying to build up some good karma :/ I'm a loser, I know.

@stereopticons I'm so doing a happy dance for my word game buddy! Best of luck, break a leg and all that good stuff! Now you've given me something new to worry about: what if I get an interview and I completely bomb it

@syazanazura that's awesome!!!! Congratulations! Can I ask when you submitted the application? Sounds like a really fast turnaround if you've already gotten a decision. If I got an email like that, I'd be muttering expletives all day!

Sugar free

It makes me feel much better knowing that I'm not the only one going slightly bonkers. I totally agree with you that it was better actually working on the applications. At least then I could update my spreadsheet and feel productive. Now all I do is "keep a word, drop a word", check all application status pages even though I know for a fact they are exactly the same, stalk my tardy lor professor, read random posts here and then go back to "keep a word"........ I've decided that my writing sample is trash. I think once I get myself to snap out of that, I'll go back to thinking that my SOP is trash and imagine ad comms scoffing at it......GAH!
