I just failed a job 'interview' because I kept freezing up on the video. I hate this shit so fucking much. This people should rot in hell. Not kidding, these companies are evil and probably do have that child sex ring the Q freaks talk about. I want to fucking die now.

I don't know if you're in the same boat I am, but this is about the boat I'm in:

saw that on here a couple days back, and I've been applying to jobs for six months! The 'tism is some bullshit.

I'm sure I could get a job at Walmart or McDonald's if I had no standards, but frankly I'd rather just scrape by doing Uber and Lyft. And everything else that I have applied to? Got me two whole interviews. In six months. Which I then never heard back from.

Fuck modern employment culture, man.

Yeah, my grandmother kinda gets how bad getting hired is now so she has stopped pressuring me to a degree. My plan is to try streaming once STALKER 2 comes out since I already plan to play the shit out of the game.

Trying to find a job is psychological torture. Remember it's ok to take a break from it sometimes (it's a slog) and talk to someone if you need help.

The main problem for a number of people is that they need any job right now. Being unemployed and never being called for any interviews is another hell
