For some reason my mom decided to try to plug in the damaged deep-freezer and the electricity blew out again.

Sorry, failing is the job for those who aren't seniors. We are the kin of Feanor: The best there are. Failing is beneath us.

No. The electrician came back up. Already knew for a fact that lightning hit the house but wasn't sure what -- the electrician found it was that little power-meter box outside the building.

Idiotically decided to take 3 SAT Subject tests on the same day, realizing only later that I wouldn't have enough time to study for all of them. Officially screwed.

But not hearing from them for a long long (were talking four months to a year) time? Kind of grinds my gears. (Yes, I've been unemployed for more than a year now)

Well friend got drunk because he was having trouble with his girlfriend and I decided to walk him home. On the way he pulled out a metal pole from the ground and flung it across the road to prove his viking strength. Then the cops came. I had to explain why he did it and find said pole with my eye of Odin because 5 cops with flashlights are goddamn incompetent.

Anyway...
To all who enjoys Thai food (or rice dishes in general) but do not know how to eat it properly:
(Assuming you are right-handed) You hold the fork with your left hand, and you hold the spoon with your right hand. You scoop up the rice along with meat and/or vegetable with the spoon; you use the fork to guide the food into the spoon, and then you put the spoon (with food) in your mouth. Knives should be used sparingly; if you want to cut something, hold it with the fork and then use the spoon to cut it. You can use your fork to pick up pieces of meat or vegetable but this is inefficient and you do NOT try to pick the rice up with your fork the same way you would a piece of steak. And you definitely do NOT eat rice with freaking chopsticks.

I did a medical to see whether or not I'll get to stay in South Korea for 12 months. Basically I have to pass this medical to validate my visa. I wouldn't have come here if I thought I wouldn't pass it.
I'm still somewhat nervous about it.
The medical tested for STDs, HIV, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Opiates, and Cannabis.
As far as I know I have no STDs, and the last time I smoked weed was over 3 months ago. Still reason for worry though, its an inexact science when it comes to when cannabis leaves the body (conventional wisdom says usually 30 days, but it can extend to 90). I have never taken cocaine, meth or heroin so no worries there. Still even if I wasn't worried the test would be rant worthy.
The nurse who took my blood took five vials of it. I was ready to take my arm away after the first one, but she just kept one taking more blood! I felt a bit violated after the whole thing. I get my results on the 10th.
Every digit is crossed and every God is prayed to.

they don't test LSD?
The volume of applicants for some jobs means it would take too long to reply to all. With say 200 applicants and 2 minutes per response replying to each individually would take the better part of a day which isn't a very productive use of time.
You need to follow up with them also.
I know someone who was looking for an apprenticeship position as a fitter (machinist) here. He handed his CV into an engineering company in the docks and the boss said he would get back to him. About two weeks later he had heard nothing so he went down again and was hired on the spot for showing initiative and interest.
Doesn't that only stay in the body for a couple of days?

You should call them back, then, after a week if they don't contact you.
