Hey. You do realise these rooms aren't private, right?

SolarLunix

I just didn't wanna bog down the Bio chat.

More or less today was a series of breakdowns honestly.

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Oh, sorry to hear that.

But I don't think people on the main chat mind if you talk about yourself.

SolarLunix

@FaheemMitha yeah, it's been a tough day, things only started getting better now that I'm home with my husband. At one point I was literally in a ball crying my eyes out begging my husband to come home early.

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Did anything specific happen?

Still doing the cleaning thing?

SolarLunix

Yeah, the cleaning thing was huge problem today. It caused a lot of pain and my husband was in an all day meeting and I just broke down.

Faheem Mitha

18:02

@SolarLunix Sounds nasty. Still looking for another job?

How many hours did you work cleaning? Do you make sure to take proper breaks?

SolarLunix

@FaheemMitha totally, but it's been absolutely horrible.

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix What, the cleaning, or the job search?

SolarLunix

both

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix ok

SolarLunix

I have nearly no hours, they're random, and it causes pain everywhere.

Faheem Mitha

18:03

Is your husband helping with the job search?

SolarLunix

Yeah, he's better at the search than I am really. He keeps sending me things to apply for that I couldn't' find on my own.

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix How many jobs have you applied for so far?

SolarLunix

over 100....

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Yikes. And no luck so far? What are most of them about? Or it is a big mix?

SolarLunix

total mix.

Although it all has to be not-physical labor.

Faheem Mitha

18:12

@SolarLunix some computer stuff, some scientific stuff? that kind of thing?

Do you have much wet lab experience?

I'd have thought those kinds of lab tech jobs would be relatively easy to find, for example. Though not great.

SolarLunix

I don't have a degree in bio yet, so it's hard to get a bio job, and I have applied to a lot of desk jobs @FaheemMitha

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Yes, you mentioned the degree before. You can't get a lab tech job without a bio degree?

SolarLunix

most likely not, although I have a lot of experience.

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Oh.

Sounds like you ought to prioritize finishing your degree, if you have two classes left.

SolarLunix

grumpy I'd finish my degree if I had MONEY .... no job no money no degree. no degree no job no money.

it's HILLARIOUS

Faheem Mitha

18:20

@SolarLunix yes, it sounds like a bit of a vicious circle. How much money is this?

SolarLunix

like $4000 or more

my dog comes first though, or I'll go fucking nuts. I'm supposed to have him already.

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Hmm, yes, that is quite a bit of money.

@SolarLunix dog?

SolarLunix

$2000 ish

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix you lost me. You want to buy a dog?

SolarLunix

I have a dog in the States that needs transported here

Faheem Mitha

18:24

@SolarLunix Oh, I see. Sorry, slow on the uptake.

What is your dog's name?

SolarLunix

Phantom

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix As in Lee Falk? Or Opera?

SolarLunix

A little over a year ago that picture brought me my husband

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix wow

SolarLunix

We met because of that picture.

Faheem Mitha

18:27

@SolarLunix That's cool. How exactly?

SolarLunix

"Draiocht-651 May 25, 2014 Hobbyist General Artist
The best of friends always do ^_^
This is a great photograph :)"

That is literally the first thing he ever said to me

Faheem Mitha

May 25, 2014? Huh. Your husband is a fast worker. It's taken me longer to say hello to a girl.

SolarLunix

Lol we may have gone fast, but I'm seriously his only friend. He never had a girlfriend before me.

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Oh. Well, that's nice. So he lived near you?

SolarLunix

@FaheemMitha lol no, he lived in Ireland and I lived in PA

Faheem Mitha

18:32

@SolarLunix Oh, ok. That's quite a distance.

I somehow got the impression he was in the US. I knew he was Irish, of course.

SolarLunix

@FaheemMitha it was less than a month before we decided to visit each other. Then he stayed for two weeks. I went with him back to his home for over two weeks, and then we suffered alone for 49 days and I went back to him.

Faheem Mitha

What breed is your dog?

@SolarLunix Good heavens.

SolarLunix

Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix That means little to me, but ok.

I'm assuming to took to email fairly quickly? This really started with comments on a photo?

SolarLunix

We started with comments, moved to private notes and were dating by the end of the converstation

Faheem Mitha

18:40

@SolarLunix I'm impressed.

SolarLunix

What was impressive was that we had decided we were getting married before we even met in person.

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Now, that's freaky.

SolarLunix

18:57

@FaheemMitha it's not freaky, it's just we meshed well really quickly

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Apparently. What was the mutual appeal?

SolarLunix

@FaheemMitha it was the first time someone had ever understood us

Faheem Mitha

@SolarLunix Oh. And that was difficult? :-)

SolarLunix

21:59

@FaheemMitha yeah, it's really hard for us to be understood for some reason. (Emotionally I mean)
