- How old are you?
- For what positions are you hiring?

Just shy of 20.

Assembly technicians & machinists. Hardware stuff. Not really the b12 demographic :p.

I have about a year of experience running (And keeping running) a made-in-china cement block casting machine, would that work?

I once managed to put a pen back together after disassembling it.

Why am I aspiring to go to Oxford again? It's kind of strange that everyone I know expects me to be able to get in. I'm not a genius at all.

Pfft, I did that at least a dozen times in a row.  Christmastime church service was the worst, one year I even managed to nap.  My day-nightmares and all.
Christmastime is in Firefox's spellcheck dictionary, apparently.  But not "spellcheck".  blah blah persecution blah.

Making spring-loaded projectile weapons out of pens was my favorite pastime in subjects I don't like.

[WillowLuman]

Ugh, still bleeding. Damn elevation changes.

Bio guy is being flakey, claiming that he's sick. Yeah, because he totally wasn't conveniently sick the last time as well. He's the one who started hitting on me first so I have no idea what fucking game he's playing at, but I don't want to be a part of it.

I'm honestly disgusted with myself for even thinking he was genuine about finding me attracive. He probably did this on a dare but then chickened out.

[ShoesandHats]

Eh, give 'im a chance. Maybe I'm just too trusting, but I don't think it's wise to assume the worst in a situation like this. That said, you might want to bring that up with him.

If he really doesn't seem into it, though, some distance might not hurt.

Ah, the 'ol family expectations trope. I wish there was always a reassurance that 'oh, don't worry about where/if you get in, you'll do fine'. But, at leaset in my case, the majority of my family despises my decision to not pursue elite higher ed. They see 'potential' in me, but don't see that I'm fucking done with formalized education, and don't I have a chance in hell of getting in, due to my precision-executed straight-Cs through high school.

Okay. Now, I know very little backstory, but I do love playing devil's advocate (and harvesting the subsequent downvotes on reddit). Being sick isn't just for trolls and jerks. Some people are legitimately nervous to go out on dates, and he might be just personally chickening out. Just scroll down to 'life advice' and look at how some people handle it. And really, don't be disgusted. Even if, worst case, you're being trolled, it's just that. You don't let internet trolls get you this tempered... right?

[WillowLuman]

Cinder, getting paranoid and then hostile can be your biggest enemy. Chill. Calm down. This is nothing to get worked up over.

[IcyTea31]

You shouldn't be disgusted with yourself because of some jerk. It's his loss if he doesn't want to take you seriously. Of course, it might not even be what you think it is. It might be a good idea to pull him for a private, serious talk and speak your mind.

My dad found the my Bible today, and he tore the pages out into the recycling, right in front of my face. He thinks it's "evil" and that I'm being "silly" for reading it.

[Xantalos]

Huh. That sucks just as much as the opposite situation, which is admittedly the far more publicized version. My sympathies, cherry-hearts.

Man, I am no fan of the stuff and I still think it's kind of a dickish thing to do.

[Rose]

What would you dad prefer you to read, then?

[hops]

Although I don't really like your homophobia, that still sucks. People should be allowed to read the Bibles and believe what they want so long as they don't hurt anyone.
