The spectrum of therapists is wild. The first person I ever talked to (technically a counselor because she was still in training) was like the therapist in this comic. She was constantly scribbling down stuff. I don't even know what she did with it because I only met her two or three times. Then I went to a different therapist who never took notes during our session. I guess he took notes afterwards, but never while I was there.
Maybe he did it that way because seeing someone take notes about you can make you uncomfortable, like in this comic. Or maybe clients see note-taking as "I said something good (or bad)", and then they might (not) say certain things because of that. Or maybe it's just personal preference, idk.
That's a good point, and I agree that it can be fun to figure them out sometimes. For me, it's the rather strict enforcement of these often arbitrary rules by society in so many importants parts of life that makes me miserable.
Depends on who made the secret rules. If they're my own secret rules that only I need/want to follow, they're obviously great and a lot of fun, but if they're secret rules by others and they expect you to know them, then those are the kind of secret rules that suck.
It's nice to find someone who you really vibe with online. It's also a bit scary because you never know whether they see it as a little online friendship, too, or whether they see it more as inconsequential hanging out with strangers at a train station. But at least it's nice while it lasts.
What's really cool is that both Mark and Tom are independently "famous" (that depends on your definition of famous, but both are well-known in their respective communities). Sure, lots of people know Tom as "Mark's brother who makes a web comic", but even if Mark wasn't a huge YouTuber, Tom would still be a big name in the furry fandom. They're two incredibly talented brothers!
Yes, though that also depends on where you live. Truck and bus drivers are the most accessible of those options where I live, and truck drivers usually don't rotate through shifts, so that's kinda my logic behind picking that. And if you get forklift-certified or ADR certificates, it pays pretty well, I think.
Yes. I'm sorry if this is how you found out. Your cat ears will be delivered in 5-7 business days. /s
tbh I think it's increasingly common to have thoughts like that. So much work is pointless bullshit, anyway, and there is so little to work for (As a society, there is a lot of work to do, of course, like creating a more sustainable future, fighting the effects of climate change, etc., but all that can be summarised as fighting (the effects of) capitalism. For most individuals, there's very little to gain from within the capitalist system, though, and therefore, there is no real incentive (other than doing the bare minimum to survive or having to provide for others) to play their stupid games). I just got another rejection, three weeks after sending them my application. Fuck, maybe I'll just become a truck driver. As long as they don't go "Hurr durr, but you have a Mawster's degree, why would you want to drive trucks, you'll just quit in two months", too, that is.
Sorry if I'm venting too much today, but this is one of the lowest points in my life.
This is something that drives me nuts. I spent so much time getting a degree in a field that I thought I'd be passionate about, but now that I've got it, I'm no longer interested in a career in that field. This isn't news to me because I knew that I'd want to do something else a year before I graduated, but I wanted to finish my degree anyway. Just in case, you know, to have something. All my life, people told me that I'd finish school, go to university, and get a well-paid job doing something cool, something I'm passionate about, and I believed that for most of my life. But the truth is, that's just not me.
Now that I'm applying for jobs in different fields, where I'd have to go through a bunch of training again, HR people often ask me what makes me so sure that I'm making the right choice this time. They expect some deep, meaningful answer that explains why it has always been my destiny to work for them, an answer that justifies a career choice. But I don't want a career. I don't want to climb the ladder. I don't want to "do what I love and never work a day in my life". I want a job that pays my bills, a job that pays well enough to work part-time, a job that leaves me with enough free time to actually live because work is not life. Give me a job that's not gonna drive me nuts and just let me do it, full stop. No career advancement, just yearly raises to account for inflation. I will do my job and I will do it well, but I don't give a fuck about your company. Just a job that won't drive me insane.
But that's the wrong answer. I need to be passionate. I need to be committed and dedicated. I need to be agile and flexible. I need to live for this job. But I don't want any of that.
There's something about furries holding video game characters like Minecraft bees or creepers that's really adorable. I love the little blep and how they hug the bee. It cannot escape their love! :3
