How is Everyone Today- New

VagueDoctor · 03-24-2026, 01:33 AM

Got rejected from probably the 1000th job I've applied to...

And I made it to the final interview as well. Ah, but given things are only temporary at the moment I'm not too bent up about it.

Other than that today has been a good day. I've let go of some creative burdens and I'm on the way to reigniting my love for writing.

I hate tonsillitis. This is why I had them removed 30 years ago. Why did they have to grow back?

My tonsils were removed back in the Soviet Union. I remember being very happy about it because back then, after the surgery, they gave me a coupon for free ice cream.

Nice. The Soviet Union ceased to exist the year I was born so I don't have any living memory of the country. Only the historical context. Are you still living in a post-Soviet country?

Yes, in Ukraine.

Thank you. It's been a bit choppy today, but overall I'm in a good place.

I've recently lost my job as well. Had my first interview yesterday and didn't get it. Here's hoping it doesn't take too long

What are you looking for?

Watching MI VIII The Final Reckoning on Amazon Prime.

Also a rewatch of Cosmic Fury before the swap to Disney+.

I did see Ghost Busters V Frozen Empire recently. Also Jurassic VII
Rebirth.

Have you guys recently watched a new installment movie where it
felt like they could have ended it with the previous one? It was like that for
me with Rebirth , Dial Of Destiny and Frozen Empire. Also Karate Kid VI Legends.

On all four counts I watched as it was open on a
free shot.

I saw Dial Of Destiny on TV.
