te-amo-corazon: I HATE ALL OF YOU FOR THIS OMG ok so TRUE FUCKIN’ STORY:I was on a campus visit last spring, meaning that I was one of three finalists for a tenure-track job. The professor who was driving me around town (and who was weird in a number of ways that I won’t get into here) got a text from one of his colleagues and asked me to answer it for him while he was driving.Just one problem: HE HAD A FLIP PHONE.I hadn’t sent a text from a flip phone in over five years (and I got a smartphone relatively late, in 2013). While the professor dictated a message to me, I spent SEVERAL MINUTES attempting to text this guy I’d never met, messing up, realizing I’d forgotten how to delete characters, canceling, starting over, etc. It was so unspeakably awkward.Oh, and I didn’t get the job. -- source link
