Good afternoon

I’m back on DIS for a bit, after feeling embarrassed about my post in December - apologies & thanks to all that were lovely . It’s been the worst fucking year.

I’ve sorted out a desk in my room - its bloody amazing how little things like having an actual desk to do businessney stuff helps psychologically - normally I feel like everything’s everywhere including my mind. So i’ve been knuckling down today, wrote a list of things to do and it declutters the mind.

I’m recording the same fucking song i’m working on with an Italian band for the third night in a row tonight. It’s stressful, not only a language barrier but i’ve decided I mime in videos as badly as Britney Spears. Without the flat stomach, uniform and smudged eyeliner.

Take care all byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I bet this is a dumb question – but I’m basically applying for a job that I really doubt I’ll get but that would be cool. They’re asking for references, one of whom should be my current (or last) employer. I’m slightly worried about the prospect of asking my boss for one, cause it’ll look like I’m unambiguously looking for an out or something (and I dunno if that’s a bit of a dick move while I’m furloughed either?)

Is this fine?

  • this is fine, you big silly
  • this is not fine, you mighty stallion of a man

They should only check references if you are successful in getting the job.

I absolutely love this album btw (despite bristling a bit at the unintended but still very very not good racism of Anticon around this time – the whole post-hip-hop thing / a bunch of white guys making a compilation called Music for the Advancement of Hip-Hop = not great). That really hyper-lo-fi collage-based approach was absolutely catnip to me as a teenager – a big sprawling collection full of mysteries to explore.

It’s an album I always gravitate to when it snows, funnily enough. It’s basically the soundtrack for that time of evening when snow reflects onto the sky and turns it into a weird dark shade of white. The beautifully crumbly digital lo-fi textures are just intertwined with that mental image for me.

Probably fine, but you could ask them not to contact references without telling you first, then ask your boss at that point (although one place I applied to had a tick box to say ‘ask me before contacting references’ and then forgot to do that). It seems like most places don’t ask for references until they’ve made a decision or almost made a decision anyway. It’s pretty reasonable and normal not to want your boss to be contacted unless there’s a good chance you’ll be offered a job.

One of the worst days of work of my life, nervous breakdowns, burst into tears about three times. Feel abjectly miserable.
