Thanks for the dose of confidence. Assuming you're the only one who isn't 100% sure what they're doing is a bad psychological trap. I wish we could be more honest about work insecurities with each other.

when it came out it was just like, this is good but it's just incredibly weird. who is the audience for this.

making tokai teio the new protag still hurts me but it had to be from a marketing angle, she has much bigger gacha protagonist energy than spechan who is a shounen protagonist

Even if I got to round two and had an offer, could I realistically do this with my fried brain? I would be so in over my head. The disaster with my previous workplace has shattered my self-confidence, but this goes beyond that. Capital R Responsibility.

had a job interview today for something I have no idea if I'd even want because it's plainly -weird- so when I get rejected it's going to be the weirdest combination of insult and relief.

And as always, available jobs are like 80% healthcare 10% nuclear chemist 10% email but must have ten years of experience. I should just start packing for Dad's right now.

A lot of my job search problem is that I overspecialized into a field that gave me like no transferrable skills. Like I don't know how I get out of this box, at all.

Unemployment day 11: I know it's too soon to panic but days when I can't find even a single new thing to apply for eat me up.

Seeing the "must have ten years of experience and a master's degree in this field" for below living wage stereotype is still alive on Indeed. I am not optimistic about ever finding ANY job again

It's not helping my situation that five minutes on bluesky is enough to make someone give up on life, even if that's just a reflection of reality.

Unemployment Day 8: Funny story. Email job was so psychologically harmful that I'd come home and just stare at the wall for hours. Now that I'm out, I'm doing the same thing anyway, but due to trauma and fear. All roads lead to staring at a wall in complete mental paralysis all day.

Living with uncertainty is a part of life that I'm just not good at. For others, I suppose it's routine. I just have a ton of anxiety under the -best- of circumstances so this is like, holy shit.

And I guess the point is that when I'm not submitting hours worth of resumes it feels like one day closer to having to move back home with nothing accomplished.

No, just sometimes there's almost nothing new to apply for. That's a lot of the time, really.

Family says they won't let me go without, but we'll see just how far their charity extends if I can't get it together in 120 days.

"Fill all the empty time with anime and games" says my former NEET self. Just not inclined to. Not inclined to do much of anything. It's really hard to see this as an extended vacation when I have four months until I get evicted.

Unemployment Day 4: sister came this weekend for psychological triage, left today. I'm left to my own wits now.

It's annoying that there's only so much applying I can do in a day. Indeed lottery sometimes means low output.

Lot of hours to fill. The time feels burdensome.

I'm still here, I'm just incredibly sick. My mind still can't process the betrayal of my job loss. Equal parts insulted and scared. It's bad.

I had to grit my teeth and avert my eyes from the monitor for a good ten seconds. Just when you think that the past is dead and buried.

I've only ever had one job where I did -anything-. Three email jobs in a row, each which promised occupational fulfillment at the outset only to quickly devolve into minutes of responsibility per day. How do these come to exist, and who endures them for any significant length of time?

You know what? I'm not even distraught or afraid. I'm just insulted. The job itself was insulting. This was just the final insult, only this time personal instead of a passive assault on the dignity of my time.
