  • From the title “Junior Video Editor” and your description of the salary you proposed it sounds like this is an entry-level job that’ll probably go to someone fresh out of school.

    It’s hard to read too much into it because this might just be a form letter, but it sounds like they genuinely thought you were a good candidate but they were looking for a more junior position. Sometimes this is dictated by their budget available.

    Even if this is a form letter, they probably have a letter for the case where the salary was OK but they never want to hear from the candidate again. So you didn’t get that letter, at least!

    It looks like this was a “near miss”. It’s discouraging, but keep at it, you can do it.





  • wait, this is really you? fam, this isn’t mildly infuriating, this is massively worrying. you need to get your friends together and have an intervention with your sister – especially if Hamza’s likely to disappear when your sister inevitably gets pregnant. Besides, if he’s gaslighting her about this, who knows what other kind of emotional abuse he’s doing to her.

    The contradiction is that if you buy a new object every time you do end up with lots of objects sitting in your cellar or attic looking like a dumpster. And nobody’s keeping a checkerboard for a century – your heirs will just throw it in a landfill.

    If you make something yourself, at least you spent some time constructing it during which you learn something and keep your mind active. Ideally you use things you have laying around the house and when you’re done the thing can be re-used for a future project or recycled. And every once in a while you make something that’s a little different and you have something new.

    But if it makes you feel any better, your side is winning. People are indeed buying Super Soakers instead of just using a hose. And to convince them, there are ads everywhere.
