MBTI & Musicians (x) AURORA (Aurora Aksnes): INFP

“If you were to have your own queendom, how would you describe it visually?”

“I think it would look a lot like Rivendell from Lord of the Rings. That’s where the fairies live, I wouldn’t mind living there.”

It's rarely ever "now or never." In most cases it's "now or when the next opportunity arrives." So don't panic or beat yourself up if something doesn't work out. You'll get many other chances to work towards your goals. I promise.

What are the best books to read in winter?

I think I’ve had this exact ask a few years ago (please please check the two masterposts before you send in requests!), but I have more ideas to add, so here we go.

Winter needs cosy and comforters-nestling books, so I usually come back to children literature, fantasy and warm, interior stories in December; with a dash of darker slavic influences, because they smell like snow (my thought process is very cliché, yes.)

some CHILDREN LIT / FANTASY Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass, by Philip Pullman A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula Le Guin Ella Enchanted, by  Gail Carson Levine The Little Lord Fauntleroy, by Frances Hodgson Burnett A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame Harry Potter was my go-to, but it feels too bitter to come back to this year.

some RUSSIAN AND ADJACENT Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky Anna Karenina, by Lev Tolstoy ↳ all of them have been translated by Larissa Volokhonsky and Richard Pevear, and they’re beautiful The Captain’s Daughter, by Aleksander Pushkin First Love, by Ivan Turgenev Twenty Poems of Anna Akhmatova, trans. by Jane Kenyon Deaf Republic, by Ilya Kaminsky Deathless, by Catherynne M. Valente Vasilisa the Beautiful, collected by Alexander Afanasyev, as well as other Russian folk tales you can find here in translation.

something EASY AND COSY (murder can be cosy) A Christmas Pudding, by Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot’s Christmas, by Agatha Christie The Last Seance, by Agatha Christie Poems and Prose, by Christina Rossetti—she has the most wonderful, intimate winter poems. A Christmas Party, by Georgette Heyer—though she’s more well known for her romance work, this one is a detective story, and it’s really neat. Speaking of romance, I’ve also enjoyed the (historical and very sappy) romance A Christmas Promise, by Mary Balogh. 

I’m in the mood for winter sweetness and small villages being snowed in, plus my brain is not capable of complex reading these days, so I'll keep you posted on that last part.

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

[annakie]

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

[gayforbagels]

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

[kintatsujo]

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.
