I have tried that but I suspect that I haven't gotten an interview for any of those possibly on the basis of 'overqualified' for position...

I have had a couple of interviews in recent times. Hadn't heard from the first one and expect to hear from the second one within a fortnight. In the meantime I'll keep looking for others to apply for.

The date was a first time meeting with this particular individual. It was a pleasant enough interaction but there was no attraction on my part and most of the time he talked about himself. If I mentioned something about myself in relation to what he said, he'd somehow change the topic back to himself. I suspect he didn't even realize on a conscious level that he was doing that.

I think it is normal, especially meeting someone for the first time, to get to know the other person by asking questions of them, and he asked me only a couple of questions max. And when I asked why he chose to like me, he said he couldn't remember.

Ugh the dreaded over qualified.

Eugh I hate people that only talk about themselves. It should be a mutual learning not a monologue . It's a very narcissistic way of talking that's for sure. Whether he knew it or not that doesn't sound like a healthy habit.

Couldn't... remember... wow. He failed so hard on so many levels.

I agree with that statement.

Which statement salvete?

And also, salvete, I couldn't help but notice your very low gold count...have you been on a spending spree lately?

The "dreaded over-qualified" statement ^_^ I've definitely been in that position where people thought I was over-qualified.

And my low gold count is because I have open trades with marketplace sellers, into which I am putting all my gold *nods* The one I am focusing on right now is a trade with Roachi. She put the items into the trade and will accept it once I put enough gold into it. I like to put the gold into the trade to make sure the trade gets done as soon as possible, without the urge to spend any of it

Ah... now that I'm thinking about it I need to resolve a few trades in my account. One hasn't had any gold added to it since 2013

Oh wow, that trade has been around for like three years then! Thank goodness people are so nice and patient <3

I usually only give a year to get the gold o.o but I dunno I guess I forgot about it.

About 2.5 years old I think

Is that trade waiting for you to add the gold, or someone else to add the gold?

Someone else to add the gold. They don't look like they are active on mene anymore as of last year so I might end it and resell them, it's some really pricey items.

Aw well I guess that makes sense if it seems like they have not been active for a year. It doesn't sound like they went on vacation for a weeks or something and just couldn't get to the computer during that time.

What items are they, if you don't mind my asking? :3

Ah just an Astral Halo and Winter's Flight. Not sure what they are worth now though... not that I've sold anything else I have duplicates of lately

Oohh I might be interested in buying those if you are still selling :o I don't know what they are worth right now either, though. I'll see what the marketplace data says

---------- Post added 03-22-2016 at 01:56 PM ----------

So for Astral Halo, the average sale is 6,667 gold while the highest sale price was 9,000 gold

And for Winter's Flight, the average sale was 9,248 gold while the highest sale price was 20,000 gold!

Perhaps ^^ maybe once I figure out my 2016 tab (I don't know which items are 2016 releases) I can figure out my spares and show you everything I have leftover. I doubt I will sell anything via marketplace anymore.

Okay thank you for doing that, The Wandering Poet! ^_^ yay for more potential item quests to be completed :D

I gotta head to work, hopefully mene will get more active while I'm gone owo

alrighty, see you later, The Wandering Poet! Also, is this a new job? Or your old one?

Newish, I got it a few weeks ago ^^

Yay congrats!!!!! Tell me all about it? :3

I pack and label drugs in little bubblepacks owo
It's a simple job but it's pretty fun to me.

Aw that is awesome! and yay bubble wrap? :3 is it at one of those private pharmaceutical companies you mentioned before?

Nah not bubble wrap. Just packets with drugs in them.

And a private one yes. Non retail.

Do you mind if I ask you -- what was the application process like? Did they require any previous experience in the industry?

Well, it was the place I did my extern at, and apparently they'd been trying to hire me for a while but it kept disappearing before it arrived at the main office so I had to apply 3 times. I'm pretty much fully trained now (Extern gave me a shortcut), so now I just need to get my speed up.

That is awesome, The Wandering Poet. My follow-up question is then, what was the process of getting your externship?
