Re: English thread

btw anon do you ever use urban dictionary? i really recommend it for looking up anything slangy.
for example: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=keeper
...do pay attention to the user ratings there though, lol. i've seen enough low quality entries there that were straight up wrong or made up. but the top entries tend to be helpful!

On the outskirts of the village
Looking into the darkness
I have seen an old guy
With red ball in the mouth

Old kinkster Terenty
He sweeps his floors with a whip
Hangs himself on hooks over and over
He is ninety years old, he forgot a safe word

Everyone kinda switched back to Russian, I guess.
But you're welcome to revive it! What have you been up to recently, nonnie?

Re: English thread

I've been working a lot  kinda tired of that shit but absolutely scared to change the job rn due to economic situation in the country..
What about you?

Анон

Re: English thread

I'm kind of your opposite, I'm stuck jobless and really need to find a job asap. But I'm too scared and demotivated and slow, and procrastinate instead of actively doing something about it. Probably, I'll wait until the situation is critical and then find the shittiest job possible and be miserable about it for the next few years. Thankfully, I don't have any dependants, so at least I'm only screwing myself and no one else.

But it's a bit grim. Also, I took a Efset English test today but chickened out to provide my full name because I wasn't sure in the result. When you give them your name and same e-mail, they "remember" it and update your certificate when you do it next time. I already have a 6 months old certificate which I've added to my CV, and I didn't want it replaced if the result was worse this time. Logically, I couldn't get worse because I had a lot of practice recently, but I feel down and insecure. Anyway, I did better than the last time (though at first glance I thought I did worse because it was 86/100 and I somehow remembered it was 87/100 previously; but turns out it was 78/100). But now I have to re-take the test to update the CV version and I feel it's a bit, like, cheating, since I still remember the answers.
On a lighter note, I'm obsessed with hairpins. I finally learned how to use them, so have bought some and made some and have plans to make a dozen more.

I'm very sorry for your loss, nonnie. I have a feeling that I know who you're talking about (if you're from the Secret Chamber thread), but I wouldn't be surprised if more than one person recently had this happen to them. So many horrible things are happening, it's fucking unbearable.

Re: English thread

yeah because people ALWAYS have to become perfect at speaking english before they start speaking english, especially in a thread that literally has "you can write about everything here, regardless of your level" pinned

Re: English thread

You notice I didn't try to point out the mistakes or correct them. But still my eyes were hurt.

Thanks for support, nonnie. I hope that this terrible time will ended.

I was talk with native speakers, was participiator international congresses and nobody talked with such maners. I bet 100 $ that you're from post-USSR country.Because only on this territory people like humiliated for mistakes in learning. Not only in English language with other subjects analogous situation. Native speaker corrects you and try help. A lot of our people just asserting themselves.  Ok, you left this comment and what? Nothing change in your life after it.  Be kind, nonnie.   
P.S. This comment isn't intended to offend all people from the post-USSR.

Sounds like a plan I'm always ready to follow 
Good like with that! Hope you'll find the job you like.. or at least can tolerate))

Re: English thread

Heh. I have a job, which I have been meaning to change for the last three years. And I know that last three years were objectively hard and there were multiple changes, so clinging to one stable thing should count as self-protection, not procrastination. So I try to shut down my inner critic...

...but. But what started as my favorite job is now "I don't want to get up to do it" job. So stability it might be, but it's kind of "stable bad". I can't even tolerate it at this point. Besides, I really could use a bigger salary atm, and this one cuts costs, not giving raises.

I should at least get out there to the work marketplace. Well... maybe... next week...
