Just got in from what was all in all a good walk, but ended fairly badly. :/ I had a wonderful time playing with my dog in the fields and feeling no anxiety. Then on the way back, I didn't want to go along my usual agoraphobia-tackling route as there was a man walking his dog and my dog sometimes gets nervous with other dogs, not to mention I'm nervous with people lol. So I decided to go a different way, which was all well and good, until it looped onto the bit I'm familiar with, when suddenly my legs turned to jelly and I started to feel completely numb all over, like I was floating in air. Thankfully it didn't turn into a panic attack and I got home fine, but still, it was horrible and I'm still trembling a little....

Not really - I think capitalism kind of blows actually.
Yes I have a few books by him.

Well... THIS is awkward!
I have an interview tomorrow at Dunkin Donuts. Thing is, the location is right next to the sister shop of the place I awkwardly quit back in August. Some of the people who work there now are people I worked with at the other location in the airport - in fact one of my former managers works there. If I have to see them coming in for coffees and everything, or they see me walking to work... oh my god. Humiliating. What would I say? "Oh hi guys how you doing, sorry I ran away on ya, yeah I'm working here now, yeah..."
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, I doubt they're all sitting around going "how could she do this to us?" haha. But still, if they recognize me (and I'm sure they will) - hell if I even make eye contact with one of them... it's going to be hella awkward.
Should I still take the job if offered it? I can't believe my luck

Depends on how badly you want or need the job. If you're just gonna interview somewhere else anyway and it doesn't really matter when or where you work, I'd pass. I mean, why risk the possible embarrassment. But if it's a job you need or one you think you'll like, I say go for it. What are the chances they'd stop in. And even if they did, maybe you'll both have a laugh about it and something good comes from it.

take the job
people in retail and food service change jobs pretty frequently
it's the nature of the beast - not awkward at all
hold your head high
they might just assume that Dunkin' Donuts made you a better offer

I am sure they are more concerned with the mundane details of their own lives to give any thought about you or your actions. If that is the only reason you are hesitant about working there - I wouldn't worry too much about it. Besides - even if there was some weirdness or an issue, they would probably get over it almost immediately and carry on with whatever it is they were doing - I don't like awkwardness either though - everyone at my job cant stand me.

You are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Right?
Wrong.
I was talking to a homeless man a couple of days ago. He used to be a computer programer for the postal service before he had an accident - due to his drinking problem. Been living on the streets for the last 20 or so years. There is a trap that people fall into a cycle, that is hard to get out of once you are in it.

I hate automatic-flushing toilets. Just because I've apparently stood up does not mean I am finished. Sometimes I haven't even stood up yet. I don't like it when I'm still sitting down and the toilet with a mind of its own decides to flush and splash my ass. Then I just have to flush again anyway, when I could have just flushed once and saved all that water. How sad is it that some people are so damn lazy that someone thought it would be a good idea to let the toilets do the work for us? They suck at it. When I was in school, there was this one washroom that happened to be near one of my classes so I had the pleasure of using it regularly. The sensor was so damn sensitive that I started bringing post-it notes along with me to cover it up so I could use the toilet in peace, without it flushing five times before I even got up.mg:

Lulz. When the magic genie requests three wishes from me, my first will be to make you president of the world! You rawk, ha ha. Or, if you prefer, ruler of the whirled - the mystical land of toilets. Now I just need to go clean some lamps. Not only to look for the genie, but cuz I have OCD. :bigsmile:

Don't drive in Boston. I'm telling you, just don't do it. It's not worth it.
We just took our cat to be spayed - pretty late, she's over a year old, but when we tried to take her before... well, long story. Anyway she's finally going to be fixed now, no more horny kitty! (am I allowed to say that? heh). We don't go to a local clinic because we're poor (which means we probably shouldn't own a cat to begin with, but my sister is the one who bought her and said she would pay for her, but now she barely works any hours and so we're stuck with all the financial responsibility - we do love her though, she's an awesome cat). The clinic is in Boston and I live in a suburb, so we had to follow directions to get there and we took a wrong turn and it screwed us all up. It was very stressful, but we got her there.
But the point isn't even that our cat is being fixed. No, the drive just reminded me once again that it is always a good idea to opt for public transportation in that labyrinthine mess. Driving in Boston is like driving an obstacle course - SERIOUSLY.

Oh man, that's something I could never imagine doing. It would be so awkward. Good for you for taking the position, though - probably good SA therapy.

Since when does Dunkin' Donuts do a credit check?????? The lady who interviewed me dropped a hint that she was planning on hiring me, but once I saw the paperwork about the Fair Credit Reporting Act or whatever it is, my stomach sank. I have some outstanding debts so my score is going to be low. Does that mean they're not going to hire me? - seriously??? It's Dunkin' Donuts not an insurance agency or government job!
God I hate this country...
Also, the kitty is back from the clinic and she's acting pretty spazzed out. Poor booboo.
