The home of chicken & waffles & whatever.

Anyways, moving on from hatred, I could use some advice: I've had three jobs in the past nine years, and all three of them pissed me off because at some point or another, management will treat me like a criminal because they don't understand autism. The boss at my last job claimed to work with people with autism, but I thought he was either A. Lying, or B. Really sucky at his job. I graduated college with a Bachelor's degree, but that ultimately turned out to be useless because I've never been able to get a job in my desired field no matter how hard I've tried.

So, here's what I need advice on: what's the best way to get money legally without A. Working a shitty 9 to 5 job like most people, B. Going back to college and taking on more student debt in hopes of getting a better career, or C. Publishing a novel/releasing an album/otherwise trying to live off my creative talents?

So, it's that time again when I ask for advice: anybody got any more ideas on how to make friends besides going to concerts, fan conventions or stuff that costs loads of money to buy tickets for? I mean, not that I don't have enough friends, but the thing is, my current job - which I may or may not leave soon - is completely fucked when it comes to making friends because at least 90% of coworkers speak a different language and have a different culture, so I generally feel lonely and depressed when I'm there.

I could really use some help. I tried to have a job interview today because I fuckin' hate the job I'm at now, but the problem is, the people doing the interview insisted on doing it virtually, and this was my first time using a webcam, but they couldn't hear me because a recent audio driver update on my laptop fucked up my computer audio, and the interviewer called me and insisted on rescheduling it for Monday. I'm just so distraught and sick of being at my current job, and any encouraging words you could give me would REALLY help right now.

Hey everybody, I could use some more advice: So, as some of you know, I struggle with anger issues. It's actually gotten so bad on occasion that I've been called into the office and talked to about it. Recently, as per a post I've reblogged, I've been buying packs of pencils so I can break them whenever I feel angry. It seems to help, but even that only does so much. I'm scared that I'll get arrested or even end up dead because of my anger issues, and I'm genuinely considering taking anger management classes. Anybody got any other ideas for helping tame my anger issues?

So, as some of you may know, I don't usually discuss my personal issues here, but this has really been eating at me, and I'm looking for advice.

At the job I work at - which I've been at for a little over two years - I'm one of the few employees who speaks English as a first language. Now, I'm welcoming towards everybody regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, orientation, religion or anything like that. However, I find that many of my coworkers are rude, which has not only saddened and hurt me, but caused me to feel lonely and isolated. Usually, I would talk to my friends or go to Meetup groups to cope. However, in the past year, three of my best friends have moved away, and even with my current set of friends, I can't shake the feelings of loneliness and isolation. Last Saturday night, after a Meetup I was supposed to go to got cancelled, these feelings got so bad that I went home feeling like I wanted to cry.

I called up a company-appointed chaplain and explained my woes to her. She gave me an article on loneliness, which seemed to help somewhat, but I'm still afraid of having another emotional attack like I had last Saturday night.

Ordinarily, I use my Tumblog as a place to post and reblog fun stuff as opposed to advocating for various causes, but since this is something that’s been a part of the fabric of my life since I was in high school, I’m gonna post this anyways.

So in a nutshell, Snopes - aka the #1 urban legends reference site on the net - has been under attack by various lawsuits launched by an advertising partner that they no longer do business with. Snopes has managed to valiantly fight off these lawsuits, but the plaintiff is trying again, and lawsuits can be costly to defend, so basically, I’m posting this to rally people together to donate to Snopes’ cause.

Why am I doing this? Because Snopes - created by Barbara and David P. Mikkelson back in 1994 - not only proves or disproves various myths both old and new in addition to providing news stories, but they do so in as neutral a fashion as possible, kinda like Wikipedia. As for the news stories, in cases where they’re sourced from third-party sources, they also put up a neat little disclaimer stating that these stories don’t represent the work of Snopes fact-checkers.

In short, if any of you care about the truth and wish to prevent it from slipping into darkness like War, I urge you to at least reblog this post.
