I don't really want to talk about it, but thanks for asking anyway.
I hope your immune system can nuke that virus out of orbit and your feeling better soon coyote.

1. Lonely. It's rare I get this. However, today and the end of yesterday I've felt like some female affection. It'll pass.
2. Tired. I keep telling myself to go to bed earlier and I don't. I don't understand why I do this to myself.
3. Disappointed. I want to apply for a job but I look at my rèsumé and it's so pathetic that I wonder if I even should. I'm such a small chance to get this job. The ramblings of an apathetic mind.

To be honest, I haven't been feeling to great at all lately. I'm feeling extremely lonely, and am trying to talk to new people, but no matter what my social anxiety always gets in my way. Luckily, I do have a group of friends I have been hanging out with for years, I consider myself lucky for that, but I always worry that if I try to meet new people I will grow more distant from them, and in fact some days I think I already am. Lately, because of my loneliness, I have been trying to talk to girls more (which isn't exactly my strong suit), but I have only been able to hold "ok" conversations through text messages. If I get the chance to talk in person, I will either hold up the conversation for a couple of minutes before it dies and gets awkward, or I get overcome with anxiety and don't end up talking to her at all (this is what usually happens). I'm always worried about what she thinks about me, if she's catching on or if she's paying no attention to me, and I always wonder if I finally get the courage to ask her out, it wont really go anywhere after that due to my SA. Anyways, thanks for listening to my rant, it felt good to get that out . I'm in grade 11 right now and hoping things will get better soon.

if you don't apply for the job - there is a 100% chance you won't get it
but if you do - there's always a chance
(btw - the same philosophy holds true for item number 1)

You're right. I've sent off my application. My cover letter was basically dribble and my résumé sucks, but I now have a 99.9% chance of not getting it.
What helps, if it helps at all, is that I know the guy who mentioned the job to me because he works at the same company. He's apparently put in a good word for me - not sure if that's anything, but it's better than nothing.
If I manage to get this I'll be clearing $1,000 a week. I'm not hopeful but there's that 0.1% chance, like you mentioned.
Crossing my fingers.

At least you have someone putting in a good word for you, that may help to make up for any parts of your resume you may not feel comfortable about.

Good luck Mikey, hope you get it
Thanks guys and girls.
I'm hoping the good word is enough to push me through.I have seen this guy work and it's a fairly easy job. Mostly on the road and he has a company car and phone, while earning $60,000 a year.
If possible, I could keep my current job and that way I could be earning $100,000 a year. That kind of money is unheard of in my world.
That's best-case scenario, though. We'll see.

It's a whole heap better than nothing Mikey.
Word of mouth goes a looooong way in the job market. This used to make me uncomfortable because it smacks of nepotism, but seriously, if you're looking for people to hire, interviews don't reveal jack about an applicant, not where it counts. Someone who can vouch for their ability means so very much more.
Best of luck! We'll be rooting for you!

I don't really know how much he can say about me. I hope it'll be enough to at least get me to the interview stage (where I'll need about 4 pairs of underwear just to scrape through!) and then it'll be up to me. Anyway, the application was sent out less than an hour ago so we'll just have to wait and see. You're very right.
Thank you, Aletheia.
Your kind words mean a lot.
I'm getting sick again. And I don't feel a whole lot better about the argument my mother and I had yesterday. She claims the things that she said about me were tinted with her being sick as well, but I can't help but wonder if there is some truth to the words after all. She said I have a "nonchalant cruelty" about me and that I'm not going to reap anything out of life because I am not sowing anything. Now it's all I can think about.

Hmm, well, I think that the only person who can truly answer the question of whether or not you're sowing something is you. If you are, then prove her wrong or toss her comment to the wayside. If you're not, then are you happy with that; if you're not happy, then what are you willing to do to change and what exactly is it that you wish to do? The only person who can make perfect analyses about you is you since everyone else isn't around you 100% of the time and no one can read your thoughts.

I reckon you need to confront your mother again, in a more peaceful way, and try to get some closure on this before it infects your thinking. It may be nothing and you're worrying over nothing, or it may be so much more...it's the unknown of the situation that's the worst.

Sick. (I see I'm not the only one who's been feeling this way lately) Actually I've been feeling sick for a week now. I was feeling fine for a couple hours tonight already, but now the symptoms are all coming back again. :/ I really don't want to have to contact my doctor, but I think I'm going to have to. This is starting to become a bit unbearable.
I don't know how I'm going to even fit a doctor's appt. in at all though. I have studying and major assignments to do this week, and all next week are finals and packing up my stuff. Maybe I'll just tough it out, like I normally do with everything else.
I hope the rest of you start feeling better soon.
