Yeah, much as I'd like to, I don't have the facial shape for it. In fact, most of my recent ID photos have featured me looking like someone just punched me in the face.
Which sucks, because ladies' shirts are comfortable, and I'd love to wear a skirt and matching socks...maybe a nice pair of sensible shoes that are not hiking boots, because I don't know how well those mix with skirts, and...what was I saying?
I'm having a flashback to discovering the "skirts and dresses" tab on the REI site. Some of them actually are intended for trail use. It is a weird fashion niche where "religious ultra-conservative" overlaps with "I'm not sure/don't care if I'm wearing clothes."
Not all of them are for hiking. A lot of it is simply lightweight stuff that travels well, but they have stuff like insulated skirts that you wear on the trek which convert into blankets, cargo skirts, and all manner of sport-skirts.
Mind BLOWN. I'm looking at the Skhoop line of skirts which look like you could turn into a pillow. Some of these are logical transitions in that they are skirts made of water/sweat repellent material. I now have gift ideas. Thank you @Talan!

Dammit silverfish my keyboard is not for your scary-ass nastiness. Why do I live in bug hell?

My team, along with my boss, won team of the year for 2015. Out of the 12 months, we were the top ranked for 8 of those months. It was a no contest. My Senior, who I've worked for for 2 years, is phenomenal. One of those bosses you are just really lucky to work for.
My team's Senior, basically our boss, went on maternity leave in January. Yesterday they SURPRISED US ALL by shuffling all the seniors around. Coincidentally my team, the top performing team, the team who makes the most money, now reports to the Regional's favorite Senior.
We got some speech about how great this is and how they are giving people new opportunities to lead and coach.
Funny, this seems like the easiest way to punish the Senior you don't like and reward the one you do at all of our expense, and you did it while one of them was on maternity leave and unable to have an opinion. I'm actually horrified maternity was used as an opportunity to give someone a de facto pay cut.
I've been drawing more, but I can't focus well enough for it to accomplish anything beyond wasting paper. I know I can do things when I actually give them my undivided attention, but I don't know how to force myself to be fully invested in whatever I'm doing. Seems I'm either in the right state of mind to concentrate, or I'm not and there's nothing I can do. This is unacceptable to me, and I have no idea how to change it.

I tried to download Elder Scrolls online about a month ago, and it does not work on a new Macbook Pro (despite advertising that it does). Customer service is only reachable by email.
They have ignored me for an entire month, and I want my f****** money back. You can't even reach them by phone, it doesn't exist. I don't even know how to resolve it at this point other than to threaten them with sending Chase after them for the funds paid on a faulty product and a refusal to respond in any capacity to my attempts to reach them.

EveriineWise Old Swordsbird / BrontaurIndianapolis, IN, USA
3 days ago, one of the legs of the puppy's favorite stuffed animal disappeared. While we wondered, nothing at all seemed odd or wrong with her, and she acted quite normally.
This morning at 5 am, our theory was confirmed when she threw up the entire stuffed animal leg in her crate. 3 days later. Poor girl .
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
I have managed to kind of repair my half-melted power adapter by shoving a contact back into place with a plastic fork. ... Yes, I have ordered a new one.
I'm Lucidian. If I don't get pedantic every so often, I might explode.
I totally forgot about the application deadline for a job I would really like. If I want the documents to reach their destination in time, I only have today left to send them.
On the other hand, I am not sure if I should even apply, given that my chances are very low. It would be a job as a scientific librarian at colleges and they usually want people with PhDs for that....while I will only have a MA when I am finished in July (I am thinking about starting with a PhD program after that though). And I just read that the will be using an assessment center...something I am totally bad at because I get stressed and panicky quite easily.
Argh...to apply, or not to apply, that is the question.
@Aerdureth If you think you have a possibility to get through assessment center, I would highly recommend that you do apply. Because you might always ask yourself 'what if' later if you don't. Besides, even if it's low chance, it's often worth the gamble. Even if you only get application practice out of it, in the long run it'll help. You can do it.
Just an immense feeling of exhaustion and lethargy lately. I'm pretty sure it still has to do with the winter, but it really sucks when all I feel really inclined to do is sleep. I've started looking for jobs in Florida and Texas as I think I just need a change of scenery after living in Maryland for all of these years.

Always apply. You've nothing to lose by them just telling you, 'Well, hey. You're not what we're looking for'. But who knows though, you might be exactly what they're looking for job wise. I've found, in my experience, that HR departments just follow a certain skeleton for job duties and requirements but often, managers are looking for something specific or those who have things that just come relatively close to what HR posted. Most of the time, HR posts for an opening but what they want is unrealistic or a "pipe dream" for what they're offering.
However, you might just be exactly what they're looking for. I always apply for a job that I might be interested in, even if I don't wholly meet the requirements. Few people really do meet complete requirements, honestly.
