I'm super nervous about my upcoming job interview. Ever since I was a kid, I've had a stutter. Normally I can control it, but when I get nervous or upset, it comes back again. I'm worried that I'm gonna start stuttering during my job interview, and that's gonna make the person who is interviewing me have doubts about me. I feel like that when I stutter, it negatively affects how people see me. That it makes people think I'm stupid or dishonest or that I don't know what I'm talking about.

having anxiety be like: is feeling on your elbow because you pressed the street crossing button that was a little corrugated or did you somehow jab yourself on a needle that was attached to the street crossing button that you didn't see and very likely doesn't exist but you're worried about diseases so you worry that you somehow got poked by a needle that you didn't notice

yeah having anxiety sucks! i love worrying about getting poked by a needle when i completely look over the street crossing button to make sure there is nothing there and i still worry about it!

Though I still play on my Xbox 1, I too have been drifting away from online stuff. I find single player stuff more enjoyable these days.

Wishing you all the best!

Speaking of which, I got a surprise one later in around an hour. So like 3.5 hours ago at noon, I got a phone call from that job-place's HR, and that they were interested in me and my CV. And lo and behold, cue the "When are you free today for an interview?" I picked 4.30 PM, which is... in an hour.

Ohhh hey, it went well. The interview. The usual data science stuff, something I am more familiar with.
I swear I get easily anxious and nervous. And that is a problem because I rambled a LOT. Like, not completely off-topic, but I went off too much on one topic.

Guy was asking about what my internship was like, I went on and on about the work environment for far too long and I have to tell myself "Val, OH MY GOD VAL, SHUT IT AND MOVE ON."

And yes, the usual generous amount of sweating.

Oh, I'm gonna have me a fight with the DMV. So my permit expired in late 2019. I was gonna get it renewed, but then that little thing called the pandemic happened and any plans for that year were scrapped. So I finally get back out there, and these fuckers say since it's been over a year, I gotta retake the motherfucking written test again. Bastards. A little leeway since there was a Goddamn pandemic last year would be nice.
