    How to lose a long term client in a matter of moments...

    EXECUTION 
    I had a boss who openly admitted to saying "thank you" over and over to Chick-fil-a employees just to make them say "My pleasure". They're obligated to give that response so he abused the hell out of it. I thought he was a huge cunt for this, even more so because he works in the restaurant...

    Probably not enough. I've seen people say that you should be shooting out 5 - 10 apps a day which can be done with sites like Indeed that make applying simpler but as for the usual app they can vary from quick basic info to 60 minute apps with asinine personality assessment. Maybe it's not...

    My homelessness is rather new. Beginning of September. Before that yes, when I was employed, I contributed to bills/rent/etc in exchage for a room and board.

    EXECUTION 
    Look I'm not against getting a job. I want a job. When I get a call back I feel good. When I start a job I want to work and make some money. Getting the job is my crux and when the job stinks I try, I so F*cking try, to eat shit and bare with it. I either end up let go or get really fed up with...

    EXECUTION 
    I had that same opinion for years when I was younger. When I started the workforce that was my game plan get a job, save, start something on the side. At the time that was applying my art, graphic design, and web developing skills/degree into a freelance endeavor. Unfortunately, things don't...

    EXECUTION 
    It's not about me liking the job. I've had jobs I didn't enjoy but I did them well and kept to it. My problem is I'm taking crap shoots at jobs and taking what I can get and that leads to being miserable because lack of control. I should be focusing on a particular job or employers that my...

    EXECUTION 
    Everything you said is completely and utterly right. I've told myself some of the things you wrote time and time again. My greatest enemy is myself. Part of the process is changing mindsets and overcoming the ego. The best part I feel about myself is I know I'm flawed and try to take actions...

    How to lose a long term client in a matter of moments...

    EXECUTION 
    I ended up doing the same last year. The barber who has cut my hair since I was in middle school was diagnosed with cancer. He had already began passing the shop over to his son before the bad news. So the change of hands was expedited. The last time I saw him he was gaunt but still trying to...

    EXECUTION 
    I should have known better than to plan. Every time I make plans it's like trouble escalates from 0 to 20 in a second. Gonna be real candid: I'm homeless. Like full blown homeless. I've danced around the subject in past posts because at the time I was temporarily living under someone else's...

    NaNoWriMo

    Bumping the thread because we're half way to November. During the weekend I'm going to sift through some old story ideas and see which one I want to use. I might even cheat and do some outlining and get some of the story beats down before I start. I want to stay away from fantasy and other fun...

    Welcome and no need to apologize for lurking. Sometimes it's a good idea when joining a new forum. Energy and robots? If you could find some way to combine the two what kind of problems could you solve? Environmental maybe?

    The Learning a New Language Thread

    HOT! 
    Japanese and Spanish languages I extensively studied but was lazy about it so I have the vocabulary of a small child. I can understand the jist of conversations but if advanced or technical terms get tossed around I'm confused, have to ask questions, and try to piece it together. If I earnestly...

    It's a terrible feeling when some poor granny can't hear you because profanity laced music is thumping in her ear. I just apologize and end the call. And I had to do it many many times last night. I started to get even angrier when one atonal girl decided to sing along to a song really F*cking...

    So the new job is a setback but I have made some actions I feel good about. Sunday I put on my best business shirt, a tie (I hate ties rarely wear them), and my nice leather jacket and took pics for my Upwork profile. Tried to make them as professional as I could. Had to do a bit of color...

    EXECUTION 
    Started the telemarketing job yesterday and holy F*ck I can't. To quote Obiwan the place was "wretched hive of scum and villainy". The "orientation" consisted of paperwork, being handed a script, then being handed cordless phones to listen in to "Jessica". An inarticulate woman with zero manners...
