I've just applied for a job. Eeek! Two years ago I would have been able to do that job standing on my head so why am I so terrified of it now? Ugh, I wish I could unsend that email...
Congrats on sending it, Lu ! *stars No, you don't have to regret it, you aren't losing anything by sending it, you never know what it can bring you :D Seriously, you did the hardest step, you should be proud! *hug

In my late teens/early twenties, I worked for a little family owned restaurant for a few years. It was somewhere I came to feel really comfortable. I was friendly with the owners, played with their kids when business was slow, had dinner at their house a few times, that kind of place.

A year and half ago, I decided I was gonna get my shit together, get back on my feet again. I was in a bad place, sure, but I figured that going back there would be an easy way to dip my toes back into the working world.

They were surprised to see me, but happy to hire me again.

The anxiety was so bad, I spent the whole night before my first shift puking my guts out, and had multiple panic attacks during the shift. I finally had to just get the fuck out of there and ignore my phone for a few days until they stopped calling.

If I couldn’t handle that, what are my odds of surviving a real job.

Anyway, good luck! I’m sure you’ll do great!

It's a really low key job, a family run farm/coffee shop that I seem to spend half my life in anyway. In fact the staff have even joked that I should get a job there. Everyone always looks happy working in there. I don't know what the hours are, the advert just said part time. But it may be more hours than I feel able to do. I really just want to start off slowly with maybe a couple of afternoons a week.
Anyway, good luck! I’m sure you’ll do great!
I'm not sure about that. I had multiple panic attacks just writing the email and it's taken me three days to press send (I think I was hoping the advert would disappear from their website ;) )

I'm thinking about all the pros and cons of taking back a job at my old company. They contacted me, and they are desperate. This means that I have a fair amount of leverage here to get what I asked for in the first place before I left. I'm still waiting on answers to 2 of my demands, that rest have been granted without question. That's great! There is still the distance to travel. I can always plan on moving next year when my lease is up, although next year looks to be expensive so I might have to table that. We'll see. I'm rambling, I'm trying to work it out in my head. IF my last 2 demands are met, do I say yes? I really does seem like an ideal situation.

I mean, knowing you’re that indispensable to them that you can make those demands and reasonably expect to have them met puts you in a very secure position, and that’s gotta be really appealing, so the only question is do you enjoy the job itself (or is it at least tolerable)?

My only word of caution would be to think about what made you so miserable there in the first place. If it would be solved by them agreeing to your demands, then go for it. If the demands will just negate what made you unhappy there, then give it some more thought.

So, I often imagine going back in time to the ‘80s and describing little out of context details about the present day to my past self, and imagining how kid-Gonz would react.

One of my favorites to tell him about would be the resurgence of old-timey 1800s facial hair because fucking no one could have predicted that shit.

The best though has got to be “At least a few times each day, you will be asked to prove that you are not a robot.”
Also, past-Gonz, weed is legal in the future and everyone has an endless supply of free porn, but nobody is any happier.

Remember Biff Tannen in the bad timeline in Back to the Future Part II? Well, instead of just being mayor of Hill Valley, he’s president of the whole country.

That might be why nobody is happy.

How big are dinosaurs compared to humans...
If they existed today, continents would be too narrow for them.
With the giant land mass, how big is it for the dinosaurs, how long it took them to walk from one end to the other.
And with giant animals also means giant poop.
Poop everywhere.

Imagine if the size difference would be that of a human to an ant.

What if all things on earth shrank to the size of an ant except for plants, land, and the ocean, i wonder what would things be like.

— imagine if we can easily replace all body parts like robots... imagine a world where plastic never existed...

Which is worser, sinking in the dark blue ocean floor or floating nowhere in outer space...

Too many thoughts...

A lot of things, feeling guilty for needing a break from my friend and for not having more energy but trying to remind myself that I was also there for him today even though I really did not feel like going out at all.
Trying to not worry so much and hoping I'll be able to be a lot more disciplined with eating much healthier & exercising a lot more cos I need to lose at least 20 or more pounds.
Feeling pretty tired but don't understand that either since I've been up a lot less than 12 hours.
Wishing I was rich so I could buy some things I really do need and also a bunch of awesome things online like a Mark Hamill autograph and all kinds of other cool Star Wars things I've seen on various sites that I'd love to have.
Oh also so I could spend as much as I really want to on wedding gifts for my sis.
