Okay...so there is the "starving artist" narrative, sometimes pushed by people to get them complacent....
So, in that same vein, what of the narrative of the " lonely person in thier big mansion"?. Is it another stereotype?... is it a narrative also pushed to make other people act a certain way?
Talk is cheap.... and apparently my silence is more expensive than I thought. From my reverting back to an introvert, and finding myself a woman of less words these days... its inevitable sich things will cause an issue between me and others.
Just got a job interview tomorrow. Meatspace time. Locating the medical tape now....
Looking for wireframe kits today. I know its not cut and dry for all symbols, but Im seeking out a wireframe kit with universal uix symbology. Mobile first web design. Trying to avoid sketch files as much as I can.
Sometimes people start a chat with me and they get 0 response. I do that more and more these days bc, socially/within my peer groups, Im between a rock and a hard place.
"Whats on your mind" and "How are you?" are guaranteed questions I wont respond to.
Yup...same thing as usual. Ive become totally blasé about it and its repeated occurance. To do anything else would be the definition of insanity.
Flitting around like a bee, working on a variety of things. Some days when I do this, I feel like I have ADD (#freelancerproblems) but somehow I dont feel that way today.
Comforts I can take in the current social media climate:
a) I really dont need to bother sharing my thoughts. If something is bothering you, just wait for Third Party Syndrome to kick in
b)the few times I do share something, people often end up proving my point
Feel like I need to develop some sort of game or mind hack just so this same old song and dance wont bother me. Its not something I can fix, nor avoid (family). 10+ years of it, but lately its actually hitting my limit.
Ack.... rejected from awesome job. As always, cant see what took me from 2nd interview to rejection. Also had to take a psych test which Im almost always unsure about. Really, the reject messages are pretty general "we decided to pursue another candidate." type things.
Im pretty easygoing... I dont demand people's time and wait my turn. I dont put undue uncertainty and risk on me and others just bc I want to absolve myself of responsibility and get all the perks.
It seems that when you do these kinds of things, you just get left behind.
I know its a wacky concept to some people but... I have no desire to be right. Besides, I can recognize stubbornness when I see it. I would be at that shit all day, otherwise.
Old drive, new drive
It's just past 8:30 a.m. and I'm already done with people.... with trying to communicate things.... with trying to get through to anyone... or trying to convince anyone that their actions could go beyond their bubble.
Ugh... writing about myself is so hard but I need to get my profiles unblanked. First sentence is still hanging me up. Got a case of the " Hi"s and " my name is ___"
People like to do these Unpopular Opinion statements, but I dont really understand the point of it. Just say what you wanna say. No need to sell your words short.
Tonight, I have one of Those Opinions but Im good in choosing to just.... not. You guys....enjoy yourselves
can be considered fetish related artwork, depending on who you ask Show more
Re: VANILLAWORKGIG
Last week, I tried to address a problem early because I knew it would block me from getting that site's work done. This problem needed to be forwarded to the Wordpress tech guy. Even though I know how to do these things, I do not have the access or authority/rank in this company to perform it. So my work just sits there undone. Didnt matter that I communicated, and that I did so in advance.
Seriously. This cycle needed to be broken like....7 months ago.
That mostly goes to the void. Judging from some stuff in my peer group, maybe they would just assume Im "virtue signaling". So yeah... the voice that tells me "no one cares" or "no one wants to hear that" is esp strong.
There is good reason why communicating has become a huge waste of time.
Re: Technical support stuff
No one reads. I could put together detailed info about my problem, but from their response I can tell they didnt read it because they ask me to do the same things I showed them
Re: Opinions and thoughts
I talk myself out of talking about things on my mind, even trying to express something bothering me (for the sake of venting and then finding a solution).
