Dunno about how it was when you did tho. Here they use that SmartRecruiters platform thing where you can keep track of your application. There are 4 levels: new, in review, interview, offer. My application's still in the first one.

The platform is also said to use analytics and shit. If that means they use data like which websites you visited, well, ugh.

Yeah, I think I got funnelled through that too. I'm not terribly fussed about it, because I didn't have particularly high expectations going in to it.

Neither do I. I hate being kept in limbo like that though, I'd rather have it be rejected quick.

Thing is, I don't want to spend more than needed until I have an income, so I just stay home and don't do anything. Dunno if it has to do with summer vacation, but there are next to zero new job offers I can apply to.

More than likely I'll get a crapo job at the nearby supermarket or something. Unless I'm hired somewhere.

Yeah, I've basically ran out of money at this point, which is not a good thing because I have driving lessons/tests and subscriptions to pay for.

Mum's suggesting I look into the Job Seeker's Allowance, but that place is such a horribly mismanaged clusterfuck of garbage, it's literally killed people.

Definitely not a good thing, yeah. :/


I have enough money to last ~6 months, but I'm mostly getting sick of staying home and doing nothing.

I'm 26 next week. I don't feel old, but I also don't feel like I feel as old as I should... or something.

I feel old when I remember how old stuff I like is sometimes but not really.

don't stay too young either. staying below 18 forever would be inconvenient. no driving, no getting drunk, permanently forced into custody...

Oh, I guess I should probably mention that I've had a new motherboard for a while now that isn't actually having mini-shortcircuits like the old one, so hooray for this actually working properly. It's a bit more difficult finding affordable DDR3 motherboards for the Intel Core Duo series than I thought it would be.

Soon I shall install Debian in this machine again, with dual-boot to Windows 7 of course, which is what I'm currently using.

Hate that mom keeps insisting that I pay back my loan each and every month. This time it was 'or it's gonna affect our credit score'.

I mean I did it anyway because why not, but I'd assume that so long as you don't need to pay anything back for the month that you're gonna be alright if you don't send a payment in.

Because I bazooka'd the shit out of Sallie Mae with at least $1500 each time I've payed this year. If anything I'm paying so much and am so far ahead my parents' credit score should have actually improved overall.

you should make sure that your payments are actually paying down the principle of the loan and not just accounting for future interest.

paying back your loan saves you money later, anyway, moreso depending on the interest rate. if you can afford it, it's almost always wise to do so

(there are a few cases where it's disadvantageous, of course, mostly if you'll need the money in the short term but have no way of getting it if you pay)

Huh. I never really saw the option to either pay down interest or principal. Maybe it was way back when, but somehow that idea slipped from my mind.

Regardless, I guess, I'm down ten grand from about the peak of my total loan payment of 33k. Still a very long way to go, have things I'm planning on getting soon, have plans to go to community college again, but if I can get down below 10k in two years I should be in some sort of gravy.
