sorry im complaining about job hunting so much im just very cynical to it but like
every Glassdoor fish bowl conversation goes:
Original Poster: (Genuine concern over something) I was denied a job for being too confident in my interview. I have a lot of experience and great references.
Junior employees: That's horrible, it sounds like they profiled you based on gender/race/sexuality or (other reasonable explanation)
Upper level employees: Have you considered you're a piece of shit? I've turned down applicants for sounding like arrogant assholes, don't apply to a job ever again. kids these days are so lazy
Okay, so first of all Dan would like to say it’s not his fault. Ellie was the one to bring some unknown object into the speeder and Jazz was the one driving. Or had Sam been driving- didn’t matter! It wasn’t his fault, he wasn’t the one shooting at them, he wasn’t the one to break whatever, he was not the one to open a stupid portal, and so it wasn’t his fault!
So why is he now like, five years old, and why is the speeder crashed in some sort of corn field. Why is everyone- except for Jazz whose now like six- also like three at most?! And- oh fuck the door just opened and… okay that’s a kid. Like, nine at most.
A kid and an adult, who he hadn’t noticed at first so again, it’s not his fault if he hissed at them and tried to hide his not-siblings behind him. It’s also not fair they’re apparently stuck to ghost speak for who knows how long, but at least they can understand the people.
there’s a recruiter posting instagram reels of like, “hacks” do what to do to stand out on your resume and talking about how recruiters and employers think and it really just shows what a fucking scam it all is lol.
and they know it. they know the hiring process is full of shit!!
“remove your graduation year. even if you have five years of experience from work in college to now they’ll still offer you a lower position if you graduated three years ago” man
This is our history. And what an amazing history it has been, with you. And you, darling. Couldn't have picked a better person to go through time with.
Sam Heughan & Caitriona Balfe | Outlander | BTS: The Final Season
just finished rewatching EXU: Calamity and once again cried so much. It really is one of the most masterful stories I've ever seen/heard, and absolutely the best actual play series ever done, bar none. I'm in such awe of Brennan's dm'ing skills, I adore Marisha's beautiful showing of emotions, I love seeing how much Sam and Travis love their children via how much they feel for these fictional ones, Luis' portrayal of Zerxus was so heartfelt and grounded, Lou always brings his whole soul into what he does and this was no exception, and Aabria being willing to make the difficult choices and how she shows Laerryn's dedication is just. Ugh. chefs kiss. Not to mention the group dynamics, the Aabria-Travis hype man squad, the Marisha-Lou/Marisha-Luis grabby shenanigans, how Sam and Aabria play the perfect divorcees, they're all just so fantastic and did such a good job, etc etc. I truly love Calamity so much, I can't believe it's a real show, I can't believe how fucking GOOD it is. Every single one of those people brought their A-game, but I really do especially have to call out Brennan Lee Mulligan. The way that man portrays people and humanity, how even in the end of things he speaks of the importance of hope, how he narrates and weaves the most beautiful tales and makes it so alive and tangible, how he knows exactly when to drop in some comedy amidst tragedy without detracting from it... he's simply fantastic. I'm in awe of them all!!
"The rage that I feel, the stress being so high, the fuel pumping through my core, it has reached a level it's never reached before. And it is so intense that for the first time I realise that I am made of metal and wires, but I am alive. I am alive for the first time. And I am alive not because I was made by D, or Dancer, or even the Changebringer. I'm alive because they made me alive. And it's the connections that I made with all of them, and it's a feeling of joy, and I'm happy to do this. 'Cause they saved my life, and I'll save theirs."
despite being more often than not a "rules as written" fan over "rule of cool", i really do love me a good "rules be damned, i'll give you this awesome moment" call. like matt giving fcg the otohan kill despite what her hp was at or brennan giving cerrit an extra mage slayer reaction attack at the end of calamity. honestly, if anything, i think the fact they mostly play by the book makes these moments even better because it really has that extra weight towards those decisions to put the rules aside.
