Looks like Marraino already happened to come by.
Sorry :D

I'm sorry I missed your post, but I'm glad it was resolved :]

Were you too busy looking at cat pictures? Ô_o

Just kidding. It's not a problem at all.
You were one of the two staff members that were online according to the forum, then two Ninja-Mods appeared out of the blue like their sixth sense was tingling.

Oh :I
I was actually working xD
I guess I forgot to sign out of the forums on my phone.

"Oh :l ", haha. Nice.

I guess you're using google chrome on your phone?
I always have to shut that down manually through the "Active apps" thing. Very annoying.

Yup and I did the :[

*that

Strange. Oh well.

Nice to have met you trough these strange circumstances, I guess, Emerly. :)

:D
Nice to meet you, too :3

I haven't been here long, really. Not even a month.
So I haven't seen you around much - I think I might've heard your name get mentioned now and then.

Have you just returned from a break, maybe?

Yeah. I was away for a month or so (March to May) due to school, but I got back on as soon as my finals were done.

I have to say, I admire the ability to stay away. Me, I'd still be checking nearly every day and beating myself up over it too. xD

I kind of have an addictive personality, I guess.
Doesn't matter if it's a forum, a game, cigarettes or worse.

How'd the finals go? :P

It went well :] I passed the class and managed to graduate too :D

That's great! Good to hear it went well.
A lot of students are always so extremely nervous and afraid they might fail. I'm glad I don't have to go through that anymore. xD

Same here :]

So you're done with school now, then? At least, for now?
Are you planning on going on a vacation? Do a summer job,maybe? :P

Yeah and I already got a job at the place I interned at :]

Don't you just love it when things work out like that? xD

I'm afraid I don't have that kind of luck. The only place I interned,I didn't even stay very long - although I left myself. Wasn't fired or anything.

Aww :/ didn't like the work?

It was an internship in a store that sold anything from Phones to Irons, from laptop sleeves to cameras.

Within a week, I was basically running the shop while the store's manager was out for 'lunch' almost all day, and my two co-workers were in the back.

I was good at it, but, no. I did not like it.

And that's my only experience with a 'real' job.
But that has to do with other circumstances, too.

Oh wow. I don't blame you for quitting. I would have done the same.
This has been my only experience with a real job as well. I'm actually still considered an intern until they can convert me over (paid like an intern too :/).

At least you're getting paid! Not all internships are, really.

I'm 21 , though. So I'm expected to have a 'real' job.
But life took a few strange turns for me, I guess.
That being said, I have little to no financial problems, so.

Yeah. I am thankful for that, but I thought I'd be a full time regular employee once I graduated.

A job's a job. And that's good. I'm going to have a ton of student loans to pay soon xD.

Ah, surely they'll convert it soon enough. If the higher-ups are friendly with you.
'Cause there are plenty of business that'll use you if they can.
Who doesn't want a motivated, hard worker for a lower salary, right?

I still want to go back to school some day, though. But it's a bit hard for me at the moment.

It's never too late to go back to school :] it's hella expensive though without scholarships.
I'm done unless they pay me to go back xD

I know, I know.
It's mainly some problems I have offline at the moment, mainly that I've been struggling with a depression for quite a few years now - and I've already fucked up three years of school that way.

I'm afraid that if I try again now, I'll just quit halfway again.
That's another heap of money thrown away.

I'm sorry. :[ I hope everything turns out alright. I learned that talking about it with someone helped a lot (I talked to one of my school's counselors a couple of times).

I actually had a hard time finishing, myself. I had to retake them and ended up taking a summer and an extra semester. So, I know what you mean.

I've been to psychiatrists, two of them literally told me they have no idea how to help me.
But I'm also a much too sober person, the way I think. Talking doesn't solve anything. Talking doesn't undo the things I've been trough.

I'll always be depressed, I just need to find a way to live with it. Deal with it. Try to find joy in things again.
But, yeah, it's a long road to walk - one I've already walked quite a bit. And in that journey, I learned a lot about myself and the world.

So, I'm kinda glad this happened to me too.

Oh ok. Just thought I'd suggest something. Sorry if I offended you. I can be pretty tactless sometimes :/

Oh, no. I wasn't offended at all!
It's a suggestion that works for most people.
But this really has been going on for almost half of my life now.

So.. yeah. It's really a bit of a road I walk alone, even if people do try to help.

It was a well thought out response.
Advice and a shared experience that can be related to. ;)
