Speaker #0Hey, you're back early. How'd the job interview go? Oh, oh you look upset. Honey, you know I say this with only love in my heart, but you can sometimes be a little hard on yourself. Yes, again, saying it with love, but I feel like maybe you think the job interview went worse than it actually did. Um, well, I think that because, like I said, you can be pretty hard on yourself, but I also think that you're really intelligent and really well-dressed right now, and you were factually just a really good fit, so I feel like there's very few things that could have gone that wrong. Okay, no, I'm not trying to minimize, like, what's going on. I'm just trying to offer a different opinion, but how about I get all the facts first? So why don't you tell me what happened? Yep, from the beginning. Okay, I mean that sounds pretty positive. Positive start. Oh, okay, so the bad stuff happens later. Okay. That's it? I mean, okay. No, again, I'm not minimizing. If you felt like it went really bad, then I don't want to sound dismissive, but I really think you should reevaluate how hard you're taking it, okay? Yeah. Look, I'm not saying it's just a you thing. I think everyone has a tendency to kind of be a little bit pessimistic, especially if it's something that you're really looking forward to or really have your heart set on. And I know you really want this job. So just like... try to keep an open mind that maybe what happened wasn't quite as serious or as bad as you think it was. Because here, let's look at the positives, okay? Did you try your best? Your very, very, very, very best? Okay. And did you research the company? Okay. And do you feel like you answered the questions pretty well? Okay. Those are all really positive things. Yes. Plus, you look amazing right now. Just saying. I would just like to remind you of that. No, I just, I really don't see you in business formal that much. And it really, it really works for me, but I'm going to stop getting distracted by that. Listen, the world is going to beat us down enough without us helping it. Even if the job interview did go really, really bad. There's no reason for you to pile on and make yourself feel worse. I think you should just let it be until you hear back from them. I know, it's really, really tempting to dwell on all of the negative stuff that's going on. But you're capable. You're smart. You're a really good fit, and you deserve good things. You deserve not just this job, but literally anything you want. I mean that. How long have I been with you? Yep. And in that time, I have seen nothing but good things from you. Other than you being hard on yourself, good catch. See? You're so smart. Look, there's only so many ways I can say that I think you're brilliant. So, what would make you feel better? Snuggles on the couch. Yes. Yes, I am here for that. Mm hmm. Mm. Blanket burrito. Yeah, I'll wrap you up. Okay, blanket burrito snuggles. What are we gonna watch? Okay, wait, can I make a suggestion? Can we pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty please watch trash reality shows? Please, come on, come on, come on. You know how much I love judging those people in those shows. It'll make you feel better, I promise. Because we will never be as horrible as some of those people are. Yes, yes, I know that it's edited deceptively, but I like that it makes me feel superior, okay? It's like my thing, okay? We all have a guilty pleasure, and mine is just bad reality TV shows that make me feel like I'm better than other people. Come on, you know you like them. You do at least a little bit. Come on, come on. Please, please, please, please, please. What if I burrito you extra hard and I give you really, really strong cuddles? How about that? Yes. I'm getting what I want. Okay. But if, if it will make you feel better, then we really can watch literally anything else. I don't mind. Ah, right choice, right choice. Oh, trashy reality TV shows with my partner, cha-cha-cha. Do you like my song? No, I got one set up. So I'm just gonna burrito you extra tight. Okay. Okay, coming for cuddles. There we go. You do look really nice. I know, I already mentioned it. But I mean, like all snuggled up in your blanket. Yeah, you look cute. Are you blushing? I love that. No, I genuinely do. I love that we've been together for this long, and I can still make you blush with just, like, a couple words. Yes, it's really cute, and it's really sweet. Okay, come here. Let me cuddle you. Yes. No TV show is nearly as good when I'm not cuddling you. Can I run my hands through your hair? I really am sorry you didn't feel like it went well. I know. I know you've been really stressed about it. You know it doesn't matter to me, right? Okay, I just, I just want to make sure, because I don't ever want to add extra stress. It doesn't matter if you don't get the job. It doesn't even matter if you don't get the interview or if you get the job and you quit, none of that would ever change my perception of you. No, not ever. I will always see you as strong and capable and smart and sweet and most of all just as the person I love. your hair is really soft. mmm I love being here with you. it makes me feel better that even on hard days. We get to just be with each other like that. It makes everything feel just a little bit better, doesn't it? Yeah, that it doesn't matter what my job is, how stressful our parents are being, or what drama our siblings get. themselves into or I don't know nothing matters when we're here on the couch like this just kicking our feet up and being near each other it just feels like like I wish everything could be like this yeah If anything was half as easy as being around you was, man, that'd be amazing. No, actually, now that I'm thinking about it, this is when I'm most comfortable. And that includes when I'm alone. I'm literally more comfortable around you than I am around myself. Is that weird? Is that really weird to say? You know I think you're perfect, right? Oh, I know. I know I'm being mushy, but I get to be mushy. Yes, that is my right as a girlfriend. When you don't feel good, I get to be as mushy as I want. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you signed something that said that. Would I make up documents? No, that's not me. Mm-mm. No, I take my duties as a girlfriend very seriously. I would never be incorrect about that. Yep, I have it in paper somewhere that I get to be mushy when you're sad. Yeah, no, it's just like in a filing cabinet somewhere. I think probably maybe I don't know don't look for it Okay, just shush shush shush and watch trash reality. Yeah. No, you didn't make me nervous shush Shut up and watch the show fine I'll cool it on the mushy but I think you secretly liked it I do well because it's not a secret because you were blushing you like it when I'm mushy even if you don't say it I think you're perfect and cute and sweet and I love you Mwah. Yep, there's nothing you can do about it. Nope, you can't do anything about me being mushy, and you definitely can't do anything about me loving you. Mm-mm. Never gonna stop. Okay, cuddle me. Cuddle me closer. Come on. Let's watch this horrible TV show, okay? Okay, let's go.
