Fuck how fake and time wasting job interviews are

I am sick of acting like an unpaid clown and being interrogated in job interviews. I’ve been in enough to know that whole process is just a bunch of people bullshitting each other. I’m at the point where I don’t want to smile and pretend I love what I do anymore. I applied because I need the money and I want the benefits, that’s the only reason. Get over it.

By the time he gets home, eats, and showers, it’s time to go to sleep. Then you’re going to try to waste part of his weekend with a stupid pizza party? So frustrating. I know they’re trying to build culture. DO IT DURING THE DAY WHEN PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID. ETA- my fiancé typically doesn’t go, but…
