In Norse Mythology the World Tree, Yggdrasil, is the center of the nine worlds

I am adventuring in a far away land, and my heart is no longer here nor there, materially in one place, spiritually in another - It now finds its home in cyberspace, inextricably bound to the World Tree, whereby it may remain connected to every world in which I have ever lived. Let our minds leave our private worlds, let our thoughts, ideas and experiences course freely through the roots and branches of Yggdrasil where they may be shared and united.


"An Ash I know, Yggdrasil its name,With water white
is the great tree wet; Thence come the dews
that fall in the dales, Green by Urth's well does it ever grow.
Thence come the maidens
mighty in wisdom, Three from the dwelling
down 'neath the tree; Urth is one named,
Verthandi the next,--On the wood they scored,--
and Skuld the third. Laws they made there, and life allotted
To the sons of men, and set their fates."

- From the "Voluspo" in the Edda of Snorri Sturleson

Lynch Those Corporate S.O.B.'s!

My interview sucked. It was like the worst interview of my life.

The effing bastard made me wait over an hour before he came to meet w me. He was so sorry, he was "in a meeting"... effing corporate jerk-off. Who schedules an interview during a meeting?!
i almost walked out. i should have.


Any cheery, peppy outgoing-ness had utterly drained out of me over the course of that long, boring hour. So by the time he sat down, i was feeling disrespected and enraged. But, i decided to go through with it anyway since i didn't want to feel like i had completely wasted 2 hours of my life. A mistake.


On top of being royally pissed, i was still jet lagged and wiped out. The end result being that i forced the cheery, gung-ho attitude too much for some questions, and then completely blank-stared him or bumbled out random lame-ass answers for the other questions.
He told me that, based on my interview, he couldn't hire me as i seemed to betray the symptoms of a manic depressive... Huh huh huh...NO SHIT?!


Anyway, so that's that.It shouldn't depress me that i failed the interview for a mindless blue collar job, the reasons all being circumstantial. But somehow, it just bites.

...jackass....


Just gotta keep tellng myself that I'M AWESOME.


But, on the bright side, there was a nice, funny guy at Quizno's today who made me laugh and put a smile on my face. And even though it was such a small thing, it really brightened my mood. Sometimes all it takes is just one good-hearted, sincere person to turn you back around.

I'm manic depressive. I worked at TGI Fridays.

Furthermore, if he DID come out and say that to you, that would be discrimination. Nail his ass. You can't help it if you're sick inside and have a mental/emotional handicap.

FurtherFURTHERmore, he clearly has no understanding of manic depression. I hate him.

i love you...so catch the next flight over here and we'll lynch him together!

Oh my gosh, Anna. He said WHAT? That's crazy! He said that in an interview? I am so pished right now I could...join you and mags in a lynching.

You are NOT manic depressive. And you are awesome!

And since when did they hire shrinks for hiring managers at TGI fridays?

Tell Freud there, he might try being on time to an interview and seeing what the applicant looks like then.

If it makes you feel any better, I showed up for my interview at the Photo studio only to find the interviiewer was in St. Louis!!!! I was so ticked! Not only that, but I had to go back twice to remind those people they owed me an interview, before they finally interviewed me and gave me the job which I really enjoyed.

Sometimes you have to battle. Just expect it. Corporations overwork every employee and leave hiring as like the last taks of the day.
