The woman who runs this business has been really awful to me. Any advice as to what to do about it?
More importantly, does anyone want to make some awesome beastly GIFs from her images, to cheer me up?

Hi /adv/.
I don't know what I want to do with my professional life. I've basically narrowed it down to two options as they seem the least interesting.
Psychology or Architecture.
asking anyone for advice, stories of someone experienced etc. etc. THANK you!

What the fuck do I do?
Do I try to contact them via mail again?
I don't wanna miss this chance goddamit.
Maybe I should send them my cellphone number again to make sure?
I would try to contact the number I was supposed to be getting a call from from my missed (or blocked) calls but there's literally 20-30 numbers I should try.
>>16899197
Why not ask them what number you can call so you can call them instead of waiting for them to call you?
>>16899370
I'm gonna do that, but i just found out my cellphone wasn't working yesterday for some reason and today the same.
I just got the message of a missed call but there's no way to see the number goddamit.
So i'm fucking worried now.
This May I will have completed my first year of a computer science degree. I want to get a summer job.
I know how to program Java (not like an expert, but to the point that you learn in the first year), outside of that I have no skills.
What kind of job can I get with this skill? I don't feel very confident in my skill, since all my programming has been for school, I don't expect a business to come to me and saying "make a program that turns every letter 'a' in a .txt. file into letter 'b.' "
I wouldn't know how to apply my java coding skills to the real world.
I have thought about getting comptia A+ certified, is that possible to learn enough to pass the comptia A+ exam by May.
Is it a difficult exam? does it take a long time to learn the material? Are my freshman Java skills good enough for a job.
Nobody will employ you. Forget the job and try to be an intern somewhere.
Work for free and get some real work experience. It will help you greatly in the future.
>>16899185
I want to make some summer cash, interning is even more out of the question. I am only a freshman, nobody is looking for a freshman intern, my academic advisor said by sophomore summer I will be ready for an internship.
Anybody here get a comptia A+ certification? Stories?
What did CS students do freshman summer, just get a regular summer job(store clerk, pizza delivery)? Or just chill at home?
Sex worker
Dear anons,
I have a very dear friend whose behavior sometimes worries me.
He is very clever and very well educated, but it seems that his virtues are matched by opposite extremes.
For example, he is capable of great good, but also capable of annoying people to death.
He cannot help this and since he's easily bored, he keeps manipulating them over and over just to see their reactions, in a distinctly Machiavellian way. In addition to this, he is being secretive and defensive about things no-one caees about.
This person, being intelligent and attractive, is literally flooded with attention from other girls, who pamper him and compete for a ONS with him.
But after some good sex they end up being creeped out by his nonconventional thinking & his ability to annoy them with his stupid or gross manipulative jokes.
Actually, I am surprised they wanna stay with him in first place, because he is used to girls attending to him and so he treats them all like sex toys.
Now, he's come to me complaining he cannot have a stable relationship and girls grow bored of him too soon in the relationship. In addition, he is worried about the fact sometimes he gets obsessed with one single intrusive thought (e.g. a name or a word) and cannot help finding excuses to repeat that same word during the conversation, which annoys people greatly.
So, /adv/... what shall we suggest him?
>>16899176
It sounds kind of like he has anti-social personality disorder. Honestly you should be cautious around him.
I feel like if I don't have "proof" that something isn't my fault, then other people must know better and if they're blaming me without any kind of doubt, then there must be something I'm missing.
Example:
>went to car repair shop
>car at 100k, asked them to do specific parts
>they tell me some parts look good, don't need to be done
>fast forward 4 months
>something goes wrong with parts they didn't change
>have to get towed and pay them again to fix it
>tell them I asked them to do it the first time, they say I said not to
>don't remember why or if I would say that, so assume they are right because I don't have any prof otherwise
And that is why you should always document stuff.
>>16899174
But everyone I've asked says that's unrealistic and I should just learn to yell (be assertive) until I get my way. But it makes me feel like a bad person to insist without proof.
I'm at a lecture
I think i just shit myself
Help
>>16899153
wait until break and quickly leave
You have to change university. Ideally go with one in another country where word of your humiliation hasn't reached.
Does it ever get better?
>Why haven't you got a job?
>Why haven't you got a car?
>Why haven't you got a place for yourself?
>Why haven't you got a girlfriend?
<-- Where I am now
>Why haven't you got married?
>Why haven't you bought a house?
>Why haven't you had kids?
Does it ever fucking stop?
>>16899115
It's stops when you want it to stop.
Take charge.
It stops when people think you've got your act together. Convince them.
Stop answering to others... live your own life. Make decisions because "you" want to.
19 year old NEET here, can I make decent money selling CSGO items?

Is there a resource out there to self-check my communication style and compare it to other people in relationships?
My current girlfriend and I do not communicate well, and I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to communicate effectively. The complaint I have is that she tells me she's going to do X.. and then does Y in the moment. When I try to discuss it with her, she always apologizes, but repeats the behavior. I understandably have a problem with getting "sorrys" instead of results, so I explain that her behavior is bringing me down and I need her to stop.
it's like talking to a wall because then the "you're so mean" and "you talk down to me" and "I don't want to talk about us" start coming out. To me... it's not "mean" to hold people accountable, especially when it affects my emotional and mental health. But this is apparently demeaning?
Is there anywhere I can find examples of successful couples just talking? Or transcripts or something? I want to communicate like a successful couple and if I need to improve my communication, I want to do that.
Look up love languages.
There's an official test. Take it. Then have her take it.
It will show you both what you appreciate as gestures from others, rating the five categories--Affirmation, Favors, Gifts, Quality Time, and Touch-- from greatest to least. It does a pretty good job of telling you how to make your liver happy and show them you love them best.
As for fighting and shit, no. Idk if there's a service for that...
>>16899365
Thank you for the reply anon, I had given up. I will google it!
Need some advice, /adv/.
My girlfriend of four years finally decided to cut the rope, she said she didn't feel anything for me anymore, and that she wanted to break up.
Normally I would talk to her, try and get to the bottom of it and we'd go back being happy despite a little hiccup. Except now, its finally over, she's left me and now I'm all alone.
I don't know what to do here, how did any of you manage to recover from such a rough situation?
Go hang with your friends. Get some beers.
Or for that matter even your parents or siblings...
Being around people you know are more perminent parts of your life can give you some comfort.
After I left my last GF I went to visit my dad for a week and it helped a lot. I just drank beer and played with his dog but it helped remind me that that girl wasn't the centre of the universe.
Do what you did before the relationship, enjoy not having to take care of someone this time around.
>>16899047
>girlfriend of four years
>four years
i dunno anon. 4 years is shit or get off the pot territory.
How do I get back at a girl for talking to me for just the attention? She used me and agreed to go out on a date with me and flaked on me and then got with another guy on the same day. She was being all sexual with me.
I want to use her.
>>16899033
Don't be petty and move on. Shit happens. Deal with it like a man.
>>16899070
Fuck off the world isn't fair and I wanna fuck her and leave her.

Is she just trying to play a game with me? It's not working she's only a 5/10 but she still texts me whenever she can and wake's me up with her texts.
>>16899011
she might of met someone else and she was probably talking to other guys while talking to you.
>>16899015
I don't know, she's kinda crazy and from what I've seen has the personality of wet paper.
Possibility though
>>16899018
guys are desperate. I stayed over at a girls house, she was a 5/10 and i noticed she spoke to a lot of guys. most of them where pretty ugly though.
I'm in my final year of uni, and I've been invited to a social thing with my course. Problem is I took a year out to work so I don't know any of them. I figured this would be a good solution to that, but I'm worried that if I go I'll have trouble making friends/joining in. It doesn't help that they're planning on going to a club after and I don't do that.
Anyone got tips for a social retard to survive, or should I stay home and play vidya instead?
Go. Try. Fail, or perhaps succeed. Reflect. Gain wisdom. Then you try again the next time it happens.
That is the process of learning a skill. No one is automatically good at something besides the naturally gifted and the savants. If you want to get better at being social, do it and suck at it, but continue to openly suck at it until you learn how to get better.
If against all odds, social skills still eluded you, you might be developmentally hindered. Anxiety, aspergers, autism, etc...
>>16899309
True. In the worst case I can just slink back out the door, no harm done, right?
I suppose the main thing I'm concerned about is knowing how to break into a conversation with people when everyone always goes off into their own groups at things like this.
