As you all know Ivanka Trump has “discovered this private island” and bought it. It shouldn’t even be allowed, but somehow it happened. Apparently it happened already 1,5 years ago, and they are already starting with the bulldozers (unless this last part is misinformation)

Why do we know about this just now?? Was it a secret? Because as much as I don’t want this stupid luxury resort to happen, I’m so afraid it too late. I love how everyone is against this, and all the protests and everything. But is there any hope to stop this insane project? Can we find laws where it says it’s not possible? Is this mess undo able?

Na hoeveel weken kan je ervan uitgaan dat je afgewezen bent na het reageren op een vacature? Ik reageer altijd op vacatures die niet ouder zijn dan een week. Ik ontvang dan netjes de automatische bevestiging van sollicitatie en dat ze z.s.m. contact met me opnemen, maar daarna heb ik bij velen na 3 of 4 weken nog steeds geen reactie. Niks. Nada. Het zijn vrijwel altijd functies waar ik gewoon ervaring voor heb.

Ik heb namelijk in mijn hoofd dat als ze geïnteresseerd zijn, dat ze het dan wel binnen 5-10 werkdagen laten weten toch? Maar dan komt mijn andere vraag: waarom niet gewoon netjes een afwijzing sturen?

I met someone on Bumble, and it seemed like he was a descent guy. We talked for a full week before we met, and the conversations were so good. We talked about everything and had so much in common. We also discussed what we were looking for, he did not want a fwb, nor was he looking for a hook up, we both had serious intentions. Both are 36.

We would meet up for drinks last weekend, I was very excited for it. We would meet at 9pm at the station, and would walk together to the place for drinks. While I was on my way he texted he was already on the square (where the place of drinks was) because he hung out with a few friends last minute. Okay, that’s fine, I would simply meet him at the square.

I saw him from a distance, he looked like the pictures. And I saw he recognized me as well. As I was walking towards me, instead of walking to me as well, he was just staring with this weird half happy look. It’s a big square so the walking was super awkward, walking in heels so didn’t want to trip or anything, but oh well, that’s a me problem.

We met, I could smell the beer. I thought oh maybe he had just one beer, idk. That was fine. We walked into the place, and I could feel his eyes just scanning my body. (I just had heels with flare jeans and a top, nothing sexy). We sat down, ordered drinks and started to talk. That’s when I realized he had more than 1 beer, so I just asked if he’s drunk. He said he had a few drinks with his friends. And then the waiter arrived with his beer and my drink. I asked if it wasn’t better if he just had water, he just ignored that and said: “you look hot”.

I got a brain freeze from how fast I was drinking my cocktail. I asked the waiter for the bill so I could pay. And he asked if the date is over. I said “yes, you’re not really enjoyable”. He responded with a heavy horny line with what he wanted to do to me. I was so embarrassed. Waiter arrived, I paid and grabbed my coat. As he was searching for his sleeve in the coat I just walked away.

Yesterday he texted me saying he’s sorry and doesn’t usually behave like that. He said he was so nervous for the date, that he went for a few drinks to calm down but unfortunately had too many. He says he really likes me and he asks for a second chance. I said no. But it really frustrates me because he was the first match I actually had great conversations with.

Dating is hard, sorry for the long post.

Ik krijg weleens berichten van recruiters op LinkedIn over een vacature (richting secretaresse/PA etc). Maar de manier waarop ze dit communiceren is alsof ik gevraagd wordt om een geheime sekte te joinen.

Ik krijg als enige info vaak dezelfde standaard info: ”bruisende werkplek” “geen dag is hetzelfde” “dynamische werkomgeving”.

Niks over wat voor soort bedrijf het is, wat voor eigenschappen ze zoeken, wat de taken zullen zijn. Helemaal niks.

En als ik meer wil weten moet ik hun berichten, en mijn vragen zullen we dan bespreken in een call die we gaan inplannen. Om dan vervolgens daar pas te weten waar dit over gaat, een salarisindicatie te krijgen, locatie e.a.

Stel ik mij aan dat ik hierdoor nooit interesse heb, vanwege zulke vage berichten? Of zijn er toch veel succesverhalen te vinden van mensen die zo benaderd zijn?
