> was sick today but I got to sleep in... win? I guess?
v What's your favorite day of the week? Why is it your favorite?

[Deano]

it has to be friday. as i get older, having time to check off a to-do list has become more enjoyable than ever. i don't know if its adhd or something, but i struggle to accomplish tasks knowing i have to be awake early the next day. the weekends are my time to clean, cook, and prep for the week ahead. resetting my house, hitting gym, and then having a deep shower with no time-crunch... it's truly the best.

^ is also sick??? my partner and i both fell ill recently. there is something going around for sure. feel better, and put your health first!
> recently took a job on that was not in my field, and they needed me. there is a pregnant woman that i was hired to stand in for, and they wanted me to stay afterwards. the schedule was atrocious, though. in my interview, i told the manager that i was starting accounting courses soon, to which she assured me that the hours are flexible, even went as far to say 4hr/5hr/6hr shifts are the most common. outside of beginning courses, this would have scared me away as i look for consistent full-time work. however, in this job search, i am taking on an accounting certificate while working. in my first week there, i received a schedule for the next month that was consistently and exclusively 8hr shifts... no "weekends". like three days on, one day off, then five days on. i've always worked full-time so it didn't scare me as much as i felt lied to. just sent my resignation over email (lol) while still being on a sick leave (i got covid/sars or whatever). i feel bad, especially since i know the woman that was training me leaves on maternity this week. alas, i recieved a better job offer for something that is in my field, and i'm taking it. cold hearted maybe, but you know... i get paid more to do what i'm good at. and i have to focus on these accounting courses.
v have you ever quit a job? how did that go? if you haven't, what are you doing now? are you planning to stay there until retirement? if you're too young to work, what are you studying? what jobs will you look for after school?

[keayi]

i've quit every single job i've had. lifeguarding, chick-fil-a, [redacted] dog academy, a couple campus food service jobs. that's just how these jobs go -_- the worst job i walked away from (i mean literally walked out mid shift) was [redacted] dog academy, because i got screamed at by the manager and i still don't know what for. i got treated terribly, especially since i was a college student at the time and giving them my weekends.

i've had two internships for [redacted] division of wildlife which were in my field of study. both however were dead-ends and there wasn't any opportunity for advancement in a full-time position. i graduated in december and have been struggling to find a salaried position </3

i'm currently working at a lake doing invasive species inspection but it's seasonal and i'm done at the end of october. i'm going to cabela's tomorrow for their hiring event and fingers crossed i can find something for the holidays.

i do have a big-girl interview with [redacted] department of conservation for a wildlife research/monitoring specialist at the end of the month!!! i'm super excited to finally talk to someone about my career. it's in a different state but if i get it i'm taking it and moving. i believe my state is just super competitive and i'll do anything to get my career started.

^ i'm glad you found a new job! don't feel bad for the other person. hopefully she gets her full maternity leave and has support for her baby in the coming months. you have to focus on you in this adulting world! good luck in all your endeavors <3
> i said enough in my response lol
v how about a fun one: if you were a pokemon trainer, what would your type specialty be and some 'mons you'd have on your team? :>
