Screw Kraken Rum, KiwiFarms is now sponsored by Moa Kiwi Cider brewed in New Zealand

It's really good, 8/10. The kiwi provides a sharp sour note that cuts through a lot of the over sweetness that many typical American and macro ciders fall victim to imo.
but I can't afford another bottle for a while since still no job.

Tacking on small update for those that hadn't heard. I moved out of my parent's place almost immediately after graduating to go live with another fellow Kiwi member who has been all kinds of nice to me over the past several months, and is someone who I'm hoping has their impressive stability and patience rub off on me while being roommates. I have the tools and the environment now that I think can achieve with.

The last piece of the puzzle is finding work, which I'm really feeling the pressure on. As I need to do so within quite a short timeframe. It's do or die time. And despite being in a very employable field it's going to be a battle. It was a risk moving without a safety net but I think I'm the sort of person that needs these flames licking at my feet to push myself enough. Hoping the next post I make here will be celebratory!!

Because it adds a small bit of personality to my otherwise very empty and plain room.

There is a difference between being a completely spastic obsessive weeb from holding an interest. Which holds true for absolutely any hobby, fandom, or following. It's taking a curiosity versus being a socially unaware shell who only connects through niche interests rather than being a personable and balanced individual.
Which is in part something I think everyone who uses and enjoys this site identifies with. Everyone here is aware enough to recognize cringe-worthy and laughable behavior within their own realms of interest. All while simultaneously avoiding those same pitfalls.

"It takes one to know one."

Which is painfully overused, but here it defines that acceptable boundary. We are all able to turn and jab at the very same things we either enjoy or know well enough.

Absolutely no shots taken here towards @Watcher at all who was merely making a joke. He knows the concept I'm touching on perfectly well. Just taking this chance to flesh out some thoughts which I believe to be very cornerstone to KiwiFarms. I believe the proper name for this concept is active downward social comparison. Okay I'm going to sleep now :drunkmythos: you guys are totes dabes.
 
To extend on a post of mine from the Coping Thread again, I'm feeling anxious. Most likely due to how I'm looking for a job right now and am uncertain about my future. I get a constricting sensation in my chest and my stomach is all queasy. Tears always seem like they're about to come too.

I'm having a hard time relaxing, but drinking a glass of red wine is one of the few solutions that's working so far.
 
I called somebody four levels senior to me at work a "gibbering long-haired halfwit" in front of his boss and then he had to explain when I'd gone why he tolerates such insubordination. I later learned from another manager present in the meeting that he had pretty much told everyone that he was a gibbering long-haired halfwit because generally what I say is true. When talking to him later I explained that my comments were due to the fact that he called me and asked me to come urgently to the main conference suite to fix a 'broken' projector which required me to drop the much more important job I was doing ON THE FUCKING ROOF. Having made my way down I discovered a quick tweak of the focus knob was all that was needed. His job title is 'Technical Compliance Manager'.
 
I need to get the last two books I need for my classes. Right now though, I'm getting worried with the last class. I found out it was an internship sort of class which is honestly nice though the problem is that since I'm majoring in CIS with emphasis on PC support, I feel finding an internship in that field is going to be a pain. I tried searching internships related to PC support but I get things that I feel aren't really entry-level or even related such as marketing. I'm not trying to learn how to get experience in marketing some product, I just want to get experience in helping people troubleshoot the problems they have with their PC and install software. Still, the day however was good since I at least have more free time than previous semesters (which can also help if I do manage to get an internship. That time can be used in getting experience in a job).
 
My company moved to an office where there's someone who kinda sniffles and that's one sound that pushes my rage button and always has ever since I was a kid. I wish it didn't but jesus christ it's one of the sounds that completely pulls me out of my focus. Thankfully I can wear headphones most of the time.

(we won't get into how I've dumped partners out of bed for snoring and then convinced them that they rolled out)

You'd have murdered me by now then, I have really bad sniffles and a nasty cough today. I've been sniffing and snorting for the last 48 hours or so. You should all feel sorry for me.
 
I fucking hate the public transit system here, I really fucking do. This fat asshole driver couldn't even open the bus door for me when he had pulled an inch away from the curb and could've stopped. Other drivers have done it before, not just me but others as well, so fuck this dude.

Today's been pretty good nonetheless.
 
Today has been better in terms of finding internship employment. A computer store near my church is hiring technicians. Now they don't do internships but they did have a job listing at the campus career center so I might be able to work there for job experience. Just need to make a resume of a college student with no work experience outside out class work related to computer hardware and I could get the job.
 
Felt a bit like crap today. The place I mentioned in a previous post, the electronics store, took in my resume but I feel that due to just being a student who experience came from a class is nothing compared to future applicants that did actual work will just be rejected. Also realized that where I parked my car is parking for coaches which means that I'm waiting until 7:30 for them to finish their practice and I can move my car out of there. Thankfully I should still be able to attend an online class while I wait so that means I don't have to get dropped.

Edit: Felt a bit uplifted right now. Managed to look online through the college's Blackboard site. Should of found out about their internship tab earlier. At least managed to apply for one internship though I feel should of put this class for last considering everything seems require more experience in something (such as use in Linux)

I have my clinicals, but not the syllabi.
I may be going to India next August.
I may be going to Nashville for Thanksgiving.
I may have a job.

But none of this is certain.
 
Yesterday was the last day of my job contract. I deliberately asked my employee not to renew it. I don't have anywhere to go yet, so it's back to unemployment for me. I am making a mistake, yes, but I feel I have to make it and hopefully learn from it. Many people I discussed this with told me that my easy and incredibly boring assembly line job was perfect for a shut-in like me. I excelled at it, but I don't want it. I saw no opportunities for growth there, and shift work, constant noise, and the heat were really wearing me down. It was my first job ever, surely there are better ones out there somewhere if I just look for them. My pride shall be my downfall. I'll have time to regret my decision later.

Last time I went NEET after flunking out of college, I became completely despondent and wasted a whole year doing nothing but browsing image boards. I don't know if this time will be different, but I have to keep trying while I still can.
