  • It’s very rare that this happens to me. I do think it’s associated with a mild chest cold I just went through over the past few days or so. The cold itself has basically already passed, but I think that’s what left me with lingering hiccups.

    At least the hiccups aren’t severe, like I don’t think I’m gonna end up with a hernia or anything like that, but yeah it’s annoying as hell and making it rather difficult to sleep ☹️

    I’m pretty sure it’ll pass within a day or so, hopefully 🤞














  • My late father went to cook a steak in his propane stove/oven one evening. Usually his steak would come out fantastic, but something went seriously wrong that evening.

    The stove started smoking and stinking the place up pretty quickly. What was the problem? There was a fucking dead rat in the bottom of the oven!

    Needless to say, steak was not consumed that night. Hell, even after daddy threw out the steak and cleaned out the dead rat remains, he never even used the oven again.




  • You’re right, hindsight is 20/20. Live and learn.

    In that particular case, it wouldn’t have really mattered much anyways. When I filed that application, I filed for a particular location. No car, my transportation was bicycle only at the time.

    Part of the application asked me if I was willing or able to travel further to other locations, to which I answered no. But sure enough, the interview was scheduled at their store like 10 miles away, not the local store I actually applied to which was only a bit over a mile away.

    It wouldn’t have been practical at all, like what if it’s raining that morning? What if it’s crazy hot outside and I arrive drenched in sweat? Even if the weather was good that particular day, the weather is always changing. I can’t be expected to have reliable daily transportation that far away when I’m on a bicycle.

    It’s challenging enough to plan a daily scheduled bicycle trip within a 2 mile radius when there’s no way to guarantee I have favorable weather conditions to ride in.

    But I guess the real point of my post and question was really looking to figure out how to fix the whole issue of valid and important emails getting automatically filed as spam.

    Unfortunately, according to all my research, there doesn’t seem to be any way to do that, especially when I have no clue what server to expect a response email from. I mean, you’d think the email should come from the same server you filed the application on, but apparently not.

    Sigh, guess you gotta dig through the trash to get a job online anymore. 🤷‍♂️
