WE ARE ALL ONE
I just went to an awesome gathering of awesome like minded people who are cool and I will be doing that more. Cards Against Humanity is a blast, as is Guesstures with the kidlets. Except that Mr.Kitty drank a LOT and I had to pull over like 3 times on the ride home so he could puke his guys out and he got puke on his shoes and all over my car and was puking out the window like 10 feet past the gate (we live in a Government facility, which is as awful as it sounds except that they have American beer) right by security. I love him, like super much but he needs to learn how to make a drink and how not to be an rear end in a top hat when I politely tell him that a full juice glass is too much red berry Ciroc. the "Don't tell me what to do" isn't funny after the first time. I'm camped on the couch about to go to sleep, but I wanted to check in with you lot first. Avvy, glad to see you back and that was a pretty castle. Shannon, I like your horses. Harvey looks nice in purple. Very regal.

Gonna be the grump here. It is fun for like a few times, but it gets old really fast.

Also hello thread missed you all. been busy with RL poo poo looking for jobs and school.
I sent my resume into a place yesterday, I typed up a very polite email and sent my resume to it. I had been in touch with their HR from a year back. I couldn't get out to the place because of transportation issues but they were very interested in having me come in and work for them.

So I sent them an email again seeing as they were so nice now that I can get there. The HR lady left apparently so I had to go through their normal jobs email address.

I'm kinda pissed off got a response today that basically felt like they didn't read a loving thing I wrote or included in the email. It was a really bland and generic list of questions to answer (most of which I already answered in my original email and included in my simple 1 page resume.)

So I feel slightly insulted. The place is apparently really good to work at and has a good chance of career advancement though, so despite being jaded by it I think I'll respond.

~ Notice me, Shempai! ~
dont think i've ever had a job where HR wasn't abysmal

the job i've been at now took a year to get with background checks and medical and blah blah blah and half way into it they terminated it because some customer service job i had ten years ago didnt exist anymore and then the lady doing my application went on vacation for like a month so my stuff was apparently just sitting there not moving through channels

always a nightmare

People in HR seem to delight in making things as awkward as possible. Our offices are horrendous.

I don't know about anyone else, but I know for a fact that horses are stupider than poo poo and WILL kill themselves if you don't take an absurd amount of precautions and adorn them in the right silly accessories so that they don't scare themselves and fall over dead, and even then at best you can reduce the chances that they will do that, but they're still absolutely going to. Women who are obsessed with horses are just as bad as ones who are obsessed with anything else, but it may be dumber because it's a placeholder for animalistic male sexuality; however, in reality, it doesn't hold up because dominant male sexual energy is incompatible with horse personality and tendencies because, again, they're absolutely going to kill themselves by accident, whereas studs and straight power tops are highly unlikely to catch their reflection in a mirror then break their leg and get eaten by a mountain lioness

It sounds similar to some Alpha-H products, which are much cheaper (well relatively speaking - they're still expensive), especially in the bundles. Using the 2% lactic acid and licorice etc. Glycolic acid and lactic acid are what is used in a lot of spa facials.

I don't know where you are, so you might be able to find them cheaper somewhere.

Liquid Gold is probably Alpha-H's best product - it has the Glycolic acid in it. It is sort of like giving yourself a facial a couple of times a week.

http://www.beautybay.com/skincare/alphah/g/liquidgold/

(there are a few bundles of products that contain smaller bottles of this if you want to try it which are cheaper, also no idea what this will come out as in your local currency as this is more a European friendly site I think)

Then some of their cleansers and creams have the lactic acid in them (usually under the aging/wrinkle stuff since the lactic acid doesn't actually get rid of wrinkles or make your face smoother since no cream is going to do that, but the 'plumping' effect is just a nicer word for what the lactic acid does)

http://www.beautybay.com/skincare/alphah/liquidgoldantiageingcleanser/

So here's a bundle thing that is pretty much a 'give yourself facials for a couple month' type deal:

http://www.beautybay.com/skincare/alphah/liquidgoldultimateskinperfectorscollection/

They have various bundle type things on various sites. The Liquid Gold is pretty amazing though, and one of the best glycolic acid products I've found. I've read great things about the liquid gold night repair serum stuff too, but I've not yet convinced myself to spend that much on it yet.

there's this guy in one of my classes who is really nice and smart but his accent is so thick I can only understand like 10% of what he says which sucks because he likes talking to me but it takes me like ten seconds to parse what he says so there's awkward gaps in conversation :saddowns:

I only wanted to get an orange one to go with the green glitter I got a couple weeks back so I could do my nails in the right colours for my sister's wedding, but then I saw they were 3 for 2 and got a bit carried away :shobon:

Just be there, really. My wife's father, whom she was extremely close with, died suddenly in the first few months of the relationship. Wasn't much I could do than hold her and curl up with her on the bed and couch and floor for a good 3-4 days. Since he's a dude he'll probably not be as interested in cuddling and probably do stupid poo poo like just trying to be a man about it or whatever, which is probably harder to deal with for you.

I work as an armed courier. Said ranting hobo was blocking my only route out of a kiosk. I didn't shoot him because being a ranting hobo with a knife doesn't mean you are a suicidal hobo when you realize a gun is in your chest you had better just walk away.

Turns out the target of his attention was some other dude who had just ran past the kiosk and he was chasing him but ran out of steam and stopped right next to where I was. So just really bad timing all around.
