Staring at the phone...going insane

ChaosEidolon

Man, what do you guys do to keep yourself from going mental waiting to hear the final word back about a job?

As things are looking I will have to wait till monday, making this the first weekend I havent looked forward to since...well...im coming up with nada. Tips? anyone?

time to start drinking...

Ferg

start a new model heh, that's the best way for me to zone out and forget about anything outside my room

and definitely start drinking

if you can be sloppy drunk when they call, that would be ideal

Joshua Stubbles

If I applied somewhere, that means I have no job. I'd be too busy applying everywhere to have time to sit around, waiting :P

Justin Meisse

I just go crazy

Just gotta coax yourself into chilling out. It's tough, especially if this is your first job you're waiting to hear back about, but luring your mind away from the situation is the best medicine.

And, what Vassago said.

Get a bottle of something hard(tequila? vodka? rum? pick your poison), sit down with a game that'll last the weekend, and do nothing but play and pass out. That's right folks, the anxiety bender!!!

Mark Dygert

ebagg, hahaha

yeah it can be rough but honestly you'll be fine. Just go catch a movie then work on ebagg's plan. Ferg has a good idea too. Hell, I'm not waiting for a call and I might do all that.I guess you could always cradle the phone and rock in the corner until the sun comes up on Monday but why put yourself thru that?

Nothing worse than starring down the barrel of a long weekend with nothing to do.

Give us your phone #. We'll call you and pretend to give you a job or turn you down. Then by the time they actually call, you'll be calm.

Do some weights. Then it's a win/win situation.

A) You get a call, you get hired and are fat and happy

You spend a long time getting a job, and you become ripped and muscley while waiting.

C) Same as B except you get a sugar momma instead of a job.

you're not already in the industry?
i'd just keep busy with my art and keep looking for other opportunities in case the one falls through.

ChaosEidolon

haha! yeah, great suggestions.
Scooby...id have to kill you, but i bet that would work.

well I got a positive "maybe" email reply to tide me over till monday. Took the edge off

oh and yeah i already have a job...just not one in games or that i particularly care for atm.
