More important than asking “why doesn’t this person want me?” Is asking “why am I attracted to someone who isn’t interested in me and doesn’t value me?”

Crying because I need a freakin job already and I’ve had 3 months to bump up my resume with anything (free classes, online tutorials, etc) and I haven’t done shit.

fun fact: procrastination happens to animals too. it’s a naturall thing. animal equivalents for scrolling tumblr include:  - hamsters starting to wash their faces in inaproppriate situations  - hyenas stopping everything and starting to dig holes in the ground.  - seagulls starting to ruffle their feathers instead of doing important things this happens for two reasons:  1) an animal is in the situation where none of the standard scenarious it has are fitting, so it does the next best thing  (example: hamsters were put in a vibrating bowl, they couldn’t run or attack, so in about a minute they stopped everything and started washing their faces.) 2) an animal has two conflicting instincts fighting for dominance, so the third one, usualy suppressed by them, kicks in. (example: when two hyenas meet at the border of their territories, they have an instinct to protect their own territory conflict with an instinct not to cross someone else’s. they don’t know if they need to attack or leave, so both start digging holes in the ground. example: a seagull sitting on the nest needs to protect her children, but also has to go get some food. instead a seagull settles for ruffling her feathers for two hours.) with humans it’s usually the second reason. (example: I’m tired and I want to go to sleep, but I should write an essay for tomorrow. both these things are important, so I’m procrastinating them by writing this post.) nature is beautiful. I’m gonna go to sleep now.

Honestly, digging holes in the ground to avoid dealing with a confrontation sounds like something I would do.

How to choose the right job... I’m waiting to hear back from 2 places. Firm A I already interned at and while I enjoyed my boss and everything I learned, I don’t think I’m ready for the work load (not sure why they asked me back anyway). Firm B sounds awesome, great pay & benefits, and training included, 10 mins from my house... but again, the work load. 3 attorneys. I could just barely manage 1 as an intern. Just got off the phone with a 3rd firm that actually sounds really great (and I think I pretty much had it in the bag) and would give me a ton of experience I desperately need, ability to promote, great benefits, but easily $10k less than Firm B... I think the answer is clear but I don’t want to limit myself because I’m scared. Is it fear or just owning up to the fact that I’m not ready to be a full-time paralegal just yet?

INTERVIEWING FOR A PARALEGAL POSITION

Isn’t it weird how we basically have an endless mental conversation with ourselves?

me as a prosecutor: final question- what is the defendant’s zodiac sign?

the defendant: i’m a scorpio

me, giving a smug smile in victory to the defending lawyer who quietly curses and bangs his fist on the table in anger: no further questions your honor

why are Scorpios always demonized?

According to astrology, we have 3 phases, or totems. We start off selfish and impulsive as a scorpion, ruled by emotion and instinct. With work we can transform into an eagle, self-aware and ambitious, with the ability to put aside emotion. We can then use that power to become our ultimate phase, the phoenix or dove; symbols of rebirth and peace, strengths all Scorpios can possess with self-reflection. Here, we are at our best and put others before ourselves in an effort to spread peace.

Interview went okay... not great, but not bad. Just okay. I gave myself extra time and still got lost and got there at the exact time she requested instead of 10 mins early like I planned. So, basically late, which is a great first impression 🙃

Um... I have an interview tomorrow and I just tried to iron my black dress pants for the first time ever and I kinda ruined them 🙃

I didn’t think it was that complicated, you just slide the iron over wrinkles until they’re smooth but turns out it’s a lot more difficult than that!

I steam ironed one pant leg and now it has weird shiny streaks on it? I guess the fabric burned? So I dry ironed the other leg, it was fine. Turned over to get these deep wrinkles out and they would barely budge and the few that did... left a dark line? Like they’re smooth but there’s a dark line where they were creased. Wtf man.

Why do cuttlefish have W-shaped pupils? What purpose does that particular shape serve?

Good question! The cuttlefish’s distinctive W-shaped pupil and “eyelid” helps even out the scattered light of the reef and reveal hidden prey.
