I’ve been craving a major fear food lately and idk what to do about it.

So. My food aversions are almost all based on bad experiences- found a hair once 20 years ago? Haven’t eaten bbq chicken pizza since. Got food poisoning from mini corn dogs and weinerschnitzel? Never again to corn dogs OR anything from weinerschnitzel.

But one… evades me. I ate fish sticks as a kid and I liked them back then. But now? Can’t bring myself to even touch one, let alone eat it. I can’t figure out why.

Back in 2018(?) when romaine in Arizona had e.coli, I got e.coli from a tuna and lettuce sub at subway and haven’t eaten anything with fish since. But fish sticks ended way before that.

The thing that’s challenging me right now is that I’ve been having cravings for fish sticks. I know exactly why- it’s the lack of omegas, cravings are the body saying it needs or wants a nutrient, I don’t eat fish, and the craving has been satisfied in the past by taking fish oil supplements.

Fish sticks are my #1 fear food. And the only one I don’t understand. But it’s also my most frequent craving and it’s driving me insane, like I want to drive, in the pouring rain and flooding roads, to find somewhere with fish sticks at 2am.

How do I just…. Bite into the stick?

Do I buy a box of fish sticks and a box of identically shaped chicken and ask my husband to mix one fish stick in? But then I’d have a whole box of fish sticks in a household that has no fish eaters if I don’t like them…

Any guesses?

(Disclaimer- I’ve already done a DNA test on her and traced her actual ancestry, I just get some entertainment out of hearing the guesses)

Hint- she has 5 breeds in her

Hint 2- most of the white on her has been there since she was a tiny nugget. She’s 5 and has barely started getting some greys.

I’m basically trying to “break up” with a friend. I have no interest in continuing contact and nothing I’ve said has gotten through to him, so I need help wording a text for before I block him.

So. I’ve been applying left and right for over a year, but this place is just…

So my husband works there- they had a service advisor position open, I have 8 years of experience, they ask my husband if I’m looking. I apply, I get called in for an interview, they tell me they’re looking for at least 5 years of experience so I should go get more? Because 8 years is now apparently less than 5 years. Turns out, that manager only hires his friends.

Then they need a dispatcher, the dispatch manager begs me to apply, the 8 years I have as an advisor was in a hybrid advisor-parts-dispatch role. I apply. I wait. And wait. And wait. 2 months later, find out they just moved someone over from another department.

Then they need a service cashier- again, told to apply. I do. And again, I wait. Weekly updates of fighting upper management to get them to allow the manager to fire 6 useless employees and hire 2 competent employees in their place. 3 months after applying, manager loses the battle so they take down the job listing without hiring anyone.

Then we find out there’s a parts counter position. Husband talks to the manager and assistant manager. They ask him a few questions- they want my application. Fuck it, it’s already in the system, I just have to click 2 buttons to add that position. 36 hours after applying, this email.

But this is the fucked part.

The parts department manager and assistant manager HADN’T EVEN SEEN IT YET. no. No. NO. No one there had seen it yet. Because they have AI go through applications. Turns out, they have very specific parameters for the AI to filter. And they have them in backwards. They want at least 1 year of experience, the fucknut that set up the AI put it in as needing LESS than 1 year experience.

Thankfully, they dug into it and pulled my application, they’re gonna go through it tomorrow- so not guaranteed anything other than manual review. I’m not getting my hopes up because this place has done nothing other than wasting my time when I’ve been told to apply in the past.

But yeah, anyways, these employers that are so “desperate” to hire are trusting AI to sort through applicants and they’re throwing out more than qualified applications before anyone actually sees them.

in the entire 2 years I’ve had her, she hasn’t molted.

Just wanted to share with people who’d understand the excitement because my husband looked at me like I was crazy 😂
