Trying to get hired but something dumb came up

So I applied to EZ Pawn and I was practically set to get hired, except my assessment came back "against my favor", as it was put to me. I had to hang up and call back later as I was at my current job. Having called back three times to get a hold of the manager, I asked what specifically it was that kept them from hiring me and he said it was only the assessment that the company has as it is above his head they can't accept me. However, he said he'd ask if there was a way a could retake it and he'd call me back within an hour so that I wasn't kept hanging.
Is there anything I could possibly do personally to resolve this?
The job itself is convenient in a number of ways and I hate giving up so easily. I was thinking of telling them I may have messed up because I used my phone instead of a computer to answer. Something along those lines.
I'm still waiting for his call btw. I'm 20, trying to get back into school. I am trying to leave my job at a restaurant that I hate. I had someone vouch for me the entire time so I feel even more obligated to make this work. Its been rather difficult for me to get interviews and this one was promising until as of today.

Apply to more jobs. Stop putting your eggs in one basket. Unless you're in a field where you personally are in demand and can throw your weight around, then apply to more jobs.

My college friend and to-be housemate just pulled out of renting a flat with me and one other person. We've already paid deposits which are non-refundable. What should I do?

get someone else to be your roommate, but dont put that person on the lease. create a sublet agreement that gives you all the power. you can push them out with 30 days notice.
this way if they are awful you can replace them. this is good. overtime if your property value goes up you can sublet it out for even more money.
source: i have a 1500 dollar apartment and charge 1200 for my spare room, only pay 300 a month in hollywood.
at the time i got this place a 2 bedroom apartment was only 1500, now a 2 bedroom next door in the shitty building is 3000.

work on your life OP. I feel fucking excellent. shit I go outside and people just smile at me, shits just that good. get to where you just radiate a presence. make a future for yourself, get a job, make that job what you need it to be for you, get up. it's time to get up and buck the fuck up, alright buttercup? you can do it. stop crying about this girl, compartmentalize the thoughts, they're not helping you, take the frustrations out on gym equipment if you have to.
stop thinking about stopping thinking about her, its not going to happen thats not how it works, distract yourself.

Am I missing out by not having a gf?
It seems like I would have to sift through boring women and get rejected 10 million times by every rare girl that I would be interested so that I can eventually have a disappointing relationship and potentially get cucked

yeah it's kind of not really worth it, just get yourself out there and it'll happen on its own anyway, that's been my experience anyway.

Im 25 I work with friends of my parents. I love the job and everything but they keep trying to grill me on my life and stuff saying how I need to get out and mingle like my peers you are only young once etc. But me being introverted I don't care about any of that stuff a good weekend to me is chilling at home playing games or drawing. Keep mind I actually care about these people so I can't just tell them fuck off I also told them I'm a Virgin and have never been in a relationship before. Where should I go from here?

I shaved my chest and I regret it IMMENSELY.
I think it would take 3-4 months before it grew close to how it was before, but man I can't take this.
I have a bottle of minoxidil laying here, how effective would it be in a month?

I fell anxious about my health condition a lot. For no reason. Recently I realized that the left part of my face is weaker than the right one, probably It's nothing serious but I feel anxious about it all the time. I just want to know how to chek (at home, I dont like doctors) if I am in good health condition.

So, my family raised me with the mindset that I had to be the best at whatever I did, avoid mistakes like hell, especially the same they did. As such, I grew up a competitive and critical asshole, even though I've never been a brag.
I'm about to go 20 this year, one year until I get my degree, a good starter job, good grades and all that. Yet I have been observing people since I've began to be more extroverted and I realize people all around me are full of defects and they just don't care, even though they know it.
I feel as if I have been competing only with myself for all these years, and I don't want to be a critical asshole since I feel that would damage my ability to like and be likeable to people. What should I do?
Also, I found out a lot of good looking guys around here (Chad tier) are turning out to be gay. I guess that's a good thing on the dating scene right? Less Chads means more single girls?

I was raised the exact same way. A competitive over achiever in attempts to impress my parents. My dad insisted that my sister and I had genius level IQ's and my mom wanted us to succeed in any extra curricular we did.
Man, did going to college really fuck me up. Despite succeeding in everything I tried in in high school, my attempts to be top of the line in college were, mostly, thwarted. If I was doing great in a class, my peers were really relaxed and wondered why I tried so hard, some were even mean, some group projects led to me doing all the work. In classes where I struggled or someone outshone, I'd be literally crushed.
In my job, there is someone even more competitive than I am. And this severely strains the way my supervisors look at me. She seems to be able to manipulate and show off in just the right ways to not show her competitiveness but also win the hearts of those around her.
I've realized that I should have put more effort into understanding I am not special and dealing with loss. While I don't want to blame anyone, my parents put so much pressure on trying to convince me and my sister we were prodigies. While I am happy that their attitudes were out of love, it really fucked me up in the long run.

weird, my parents raised me to just do whatever you can. my competitiveness and ability to excel was largely my own doing. I did shit in highschool, academically speaking, because of depression and my gf at the time doing some stuff that just broke my ambition. college was so much better but the recession hit and I couldn't go because there were no jobs and my family never saved shit for my college education. now I excel in almost everything I do. I'm doing better than most my age, in a few years I plan on essentially being set.
my advice, keep getting better, but also get better at social stuff. fuck not being excellent. why would you limit yourself?
oh, also, learn to be able to not take yourself too serious while still being able to take everything serious. does that make sense?

I wanted to get some input on this
Where I work, there is a smoking area. It has benches, and lots of space. There was this cute girl I see all the time. I stare at her, and I felt like she stared at me some times - but maybe she was just looking in my direction. Anyway, after a few days, I made a move, and she shut me down. Said she has a boyfriend, which may or may not be true (I'm leaning towards true because she doesn't seem obnoxious at all). I thanked her for her time and and left.
I've seen her a few more times with people, but this most recent time, she came by herself and sat close to me - suspiciously close given the amount of open seats she could have chosen.
What was up with this? She could have sat anywhere and she already shut me down. Why sit so close to me. I could have leaned over and touched her. We didn't talk, she was there for a short whole then left.
Advice on what the hell that was about?

Golden rule of life
Always be kind and polite to everyone and if a cute girl sits close to you say hello then politely inquire as to how their day is going.

it;s just a seat man
its just a seat.
dont read into it.

>>18449384
You are no longer a random face to her. She is not into you, don't get me wrong. But by talking to her, you are now a person in her "mindscape".
That's why sitting away from you would have been weird. I mean, maybe you two could've talked.
She is not into you.
Next time, say, "hi" or something. Maybe you'll make a friend. If for some unfathomable reason you can't bear to be friends with this girl just because she rejected you, then ignore her for a while and you'll disappear from her mind eventually.

How does one even get a girlfriend?
I'm 18 going into University yet I've never had one.
I'm not fat or ugly or short. I'm 6'2" and muscular. I have good hygiene. I see girls with average guys all the time. So it's not impossible to get a gf if you're not a ripped Chad like r9k says.

You meet people, you like some of them. Some of those like you. And if you have a chance, you date. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.
If you like someone, you flirt with them. Make jokes, hang out, share, stuff like that. That's a way to signal you like them and they can signal back if they reciprocate your flirting. If they don't, you move on.

Have you tried not being gay??

So recently I was trying to fix my heating system and long story short I created what I thought is entirely new valve.The problem is that it is working kinda similar to iris shutter like on the patent attached (there are some differences tho). So, the question is: is changing the field of use (photography -> flow control), movement system (innovative but I found some toys using it without patent protection) and adding some insulation (original but not very innovative) patent-worthy? On my uni bureaucrats claims that it is generally enough, but to fill for patent in my country I'd have to pay, so I want untill I'm sure that I'll actually get patent.

If somebody is using it in a commercial product already they will have prior art.
>>
>>18449303
If you can prove how your invention is different than the prior art, then it may be patentable. Patents are freaking expensive though (~$25k for something that simple), and not worth it unless you intend to either enforce or sell it.
You could file a provisional application relatively cheaply though, which would protect your inventorship for a year. You can then try to get the money or a buyer in the meantime.
