We sort of celebrated our 6 month, but after that it's just been yearly. I'd think that if you got married you'd maybe note the anniversary of your first date or whatever, but only really celebrate the anniversary of your marriage. At least that's how I'd do it.

After we got married we stopped celebrating our dating anniversary, but it was a weird shift because we've been together since 2002, and got married in 2008.

ackblom12:
Kat and I got married close enough to our date anniversary that we just ended up combining them. Efficiency ho!

Arrrrrrggggghhhhhhh. Still going through this god-forsaken google application process. Now they want my academic transcript. Which is average at best. Like... almost all Cs with a few B+s and a couple of As toward the end. Hopefully it doesn't count too heavily against me.

They're supposedly pretty firm believers in academic performance and I just don't buy that. I'm dyslexic and chronically not good at exams. Therefore I only ever did well in the internal aspects of university assessment. Which shows in terms of my post-grad marks which are all B+s and an A.

I can't help but feel it's going to negatively affect my chances of getting this job. It certainly their loss if they don't hire me based on things that happened 3 years ago but by the same token plenty of studies have shown academic performance is the best indicator of workplace performance. Fuck those studies, those studies surely do not count people with learning disabilities (e.g. dyslexia) as part of their sample?
FUUUUCK.
