Just got an officially diagnosed as being autistic level 2 not sure i feel yet. But man it explains a lot.

I think this freelancer is being really disrespectful of your time and it’s incredibly unprofessional. I reckon you need to lay down some hard boundaries. If you don’t she will just keep doing it.

Because the book was? Robert Jordan didn’t cut corners when it came to describing how cruelly the Seanchan treated female channellers.

Fresh croissants from the bakery with some nice vintage cheddar and some top quality ham has to be my favourite breakfast

Thank you. Yeah we’ll see what comes of it but honestly not expecting much or getting my hopes up.

thanks! who knows what will come of it haha

Possibly. I don’t think ultimately the final decision was hers to make but the CEO’s as he was on the second round interview with her. I don’t think the CEO was too keen on me by the end of the interview but I think if it had been up to the team lead I may have gotten it. Based on some of the reviews of the organisation on Glassdoor, the CEO seems to be quite controlling and a lot of people leave because of him. So i probably dodged a big bullet

Yeah she is overseas at the moment and wants to catch up for coffee when she gets back. So who knows haha I’m usually terrible at networking.

So I didn’t get the job that I applied for. But in a weird twist the team leader for the role who interviewed me is leaving the organisation this week. She asked if we could connect on Linkedin as she thought i had a lot to offer and wants to keep me in mind for roles that come up at her new employer. So i guess that is a win.

Cats in general have evolved to sleep for long periods to conserve energy for hunting. Big Cats will sleep for 17 - 18 hours before going on a hunt and modern house cats haven’t lost this need for rest. This is basically why cats get the zoomies periodically.

I’ve been in your situation a few times. I was just honest and explained the situation, which was I had lost my job was about to start a new one. I gave them a set date for when rent would be paid and offered to do part payments before that date if i was able to and was very apologetic about it. If this is your first time ever I doubt it will be a big issue for the RE because you have a demonstrated good history. My RE was really understanding said it was fine and didn’t make a big deal out of it. I did get reminder sms’s to say I was x number of days in arrears but this was due to the system being automated. So the RE may do this as well but I wouldn’t worry if they do.

Thank you you for this. This has helped me feel a lot better this morning :) Culturally we all seemed to be on the same wavelength and I think i said the right things in terms of culture and why i want to work for them. I didn’t even think I would make it past the phone interview and I told them as when thanking them for the privilege and considering me for the role. But yeah, interviews really stress me out and I just can’t process the questions properly and my answers come out as superficial or rushed as a result. Hopefully they saw something worthwhile in me :)

Thanks SC. You’re right. I mean I didn’t even think I would make it beyond the phone interview. I think the interview being with the CEO really threw me off or maybe I just felt that and he was impressed with some of my answers. I don’t know. I’m just going to assume the worst and let it go because usually thats when something good happens haha.

Thanks spudsy. Between Interviewing and getting the second part of an assessment to see if I’m on the spectrum it’s just been a big fucking day and I got a lot of emotions going around. But self care is in progress, had a hot shower, got a cup of lemsip (because for some reason it helps calm me down) and dinner is hot mexican sausages in bread with some chips and corn and peas. I think some One piece live action and HALO is on the cards for tonight.

Well interview done and I think I fucked it. I stumbled on a few questions and I think i didn’t give detailed enough answers for the CEO and i just felt overwhelmed. but i’m hoping my humbleness and reasons for applying for the job get me by. but probably not. I feel like shit dying. I should find out early next week.

Second assessment for Austism done and the clinician also flagged some possible ADHD stuff going on as well. Will get the verdict on the 28th. Now home, had some ham and cheese croissants and now going to relax for a couple of hours before finishing prep for my final interview at 4pm. Also have some chicken nuggs to look forward to for second lunch .

yep already looking forward to going to bed!

Thank you Lady Spudness of House Starch!

Big day today. Second session of my autism assessment this morning and second round interview for the customer service role late this afternoon. Pray for mojo.

Yeah this is what I’ve been thinking. It’s a small company so the CEO is just hands on and wants to make sure the right people join the business. Also shows that they genuinely care and it’s not below them to interview a lowly customer service grunt.
