I've only ever gotten a couple interviews from online applications; the signal-to-noise ratio on them is so low they barely count as an application. The vast majority of my job interviews have been through recruiters (either in-house recruiters I got in contact with or independent recruiters who fell upon my software-engineer resume like salivating wolves when I put it on a job site one time)

quote:Hi there, anon who is terrified of dying in a plane crash and being eaten by crabs despite logically knowing that's unlikely to happen. A big part of that ties into how freaked out by crustaseans and dead fish I am in general. The seafood aisle in any store is my personal torture chamber because all I see are the dead eyed fish staring at me like I stole their soul and the lifeless frozen crabs, judging me. The seafood restaurant sounds like it should have been great, actually. Eat those fuckers right back! Seriously though this is an extremely specific phobia but a believable one because I'm largely the same way about spiders (w/r/t the dreams mostly). The main difference is that instead of being scared of plane rides and supermarket sections, if I see a spider in my house I absolutely have to kill it because I don't feel safe knowing it's alive in my home somewhere. quote:I had my sexual awakening to the movie Gremlins 2: The New Batch. The female gremlin, of course. If you don't know who I'm talking about, I suggest you do a quick image search. You won't be disappointed. The subject line on this one was "Gremlins 2: The New Batch... of cum" so I'm not taking it the most seriously ever

I thought it was web design, which is actually fairly marketable but which would probably require an internship to get a full-time spot either way, anon, learn web design

Don't get delusions of this being a good source of money - I was being tossed off ladders every weekend and making around 20 dollars a show plus a cold cut sandwich, a bag of chips, and a faygo soda. quote:For the last year or so I have been able to work full time at something most people consider a dream job.

quote:Just to preface, I am not crazy, I am a highly educated (PhD in physics) well-respected person in my personal and academic community. That said, my confession is that I've recently become obsessed with demonology and the occult. It started a couple years ago when I was in Italy for a conference. I stayed an extra week to celebrate my 30th birthday and visited Vatican City. It started out just gaining interest in Catholocism in general after finding the Museums interesting, but within a few months I was reading any material on demons and demonic possession I could get my hands on. I started to become convinced that the highest levels of the Catholic Church as well as the European and American governments have been infiltrated by demons. is this like a more Dan Brown version of Jerusalem Syndrome or something (Jerusalem Syndrome is when a Christian, Muslim, or Jewish person visits Jerusalem and either generally becomes obsessed with religious iconography or specifically becomes convinced that they are the Second Coming / Messiah) quote:I have pretty bad anxiety that I've done a good job of defeating over the past couple of years IRL. But for some reason posting on a dead gay mostly anonymous internet message board scares the poo poo out of me. I've posted here sometimes, mostly in Games and sold some poo poo on SA Mart, but in my 12 years as a member I think I've made like 50 posts, and never in GBS, even though I read stuff here pretty much daily. It turns out verbal self-abuse solves all your problems, who knew
