Mistress Carrie (posted 5-2-24 via Youtube)
New Album info starts approx. 6:50 (This was already posted)

• Done, “currently, I think, an 11 song album with 2 bonus tracks”
• Single picked, opening track (this will be the first time that’s ever happened for a studio album)
• “Single, I think, coming to radio in like July”
• “Album, I think, is slated for September 20th”
• Single will be called Judas Mind
• Around 4 minutes long
• Doesn’t think the next album will take 4 years

Setlist discussion starts approx. 8:30

• Carrie asked process for picking songs “do you fight out who’s songs get on the setlist” “Definitely not” (then there’s some side talk about Fortnite)
• Only 60 minutes, so there’s really only 12 songs, because they average about 5 minutes/song
• Have to pick a) which ones the fans want to hear the most, which are the most popular “you’re never going to make anybody happy” and (B)) you want to find a flow that’s easy to make sense as you go through the set
• “It is time to change the set up, today, because we’ve been playing the same set for the last week and a half or so. We’ll make some changes today and see how that goes for the next few days, kinda tweak it as we go” (looks like since then they've added Truth into the setlist in place of Bruised & Bloodied)
• “But really, we’re here to serve the audience rather than ourselves. It’s very easy to get up there and play songs we want to play more than we want to play the singles but the singles are what gets the response. In return that’s how you get the great feedback from the crowds.”
• “So Broken’s always on there, Fine Again’s always on there” (this got a legit LOL from me because I can just imagine Shaun’s rolling his eyes based on the attitude that went with this) “Songs that people have known the longest for example, Fake It, those are staples”
• “When you come down to 12 songs there’s not much space for wiggle room. You can play 12 singles that did really well and people know and love, but you’re always going to get ‘well why didn’t you play that one song’” “Sorry, only had the 12 songs, only had the hour but we still try to serve as well as we can”
• “Our job is to entertain you and if we play songs you don’t know or want to hear or don’t love…”

Misc

• Not mayhem backstage, they’re all older now.
• About the fans (post covid) “It’s amazing, we’ve always loved our fans a lot, same thing when it comes to the setlist, try to serve the fans, fact that we’re out here and they’re responding and so excited about it…” 14th week of touring in the last 4 years, which is crazy because they used to do 14 weeks at a time, take a break and go back out. It’s different in that sense. Fans have been great and they really appreciate it.
• Talks about their kids and if they know they’re rock stars.
• Shaun despised Zoom, made him feel even more isolated.
• Talks about the Bruised & Bloodied video where they were all made to stand 6ft apart and get tested even though they’d all been staying in the same house for a week. Called it a charade (referring more to the rules than Covid itself, based on the context).

98 Rock (posted 4-29-24 via Youtube)

• Not much of note here. 5 min interview, Marianne seemed to have no knowledge of the band.
• Think newer bands need the Social Media aspect more than bands that have been around for a while.
• On not being the headliner – less pressure, shorter set, get to watch the headliner. Get to see things you wouldn’t normally see and form your own opinion on bands.

WDHA Rock the Rock Fest 4-25-24 YouTube

• Maybe Shaun was just having an “off” day, but he didn’t seem very into doing this interview? Hood up, ballcap on, offering short handshakes, over-exaggerated smile during the photo (which he does with some regularity, but combined with the other things…)
• It’s odd to hear Terrie calling him one of the most accessible artists during Covid considering how open he has been about how much he hated Zoom.
• The second year of lockdown/Covid “felt like shenanigans” but was life-changing. Affected his feelings on touring and being away from his kids, doesn’t feel like that’s something he can do anymore. Doesn’t feel the same way he used to after it was all taken away from him. Left him feeling devalued.
• Calls them a “radio band”: to a radio station it’s a band that connects with people
• I liked that Terrie took the time to speak to EVERYONE with something specific. While Shaun handled the most of it, she also asked Dale about his fishing/geacooking, John about The Nixons, and Corey about his previous bands.

I got an invite on teams for an employee screening meeting. I know there’s screening done when interviewing but was looking for insight on what to expect if I’ve been with this position for a month.

Hey guys, so I'm in the automation and controls industry. I have been working as engineer for the past 2 and a half years, safe to say I'm ahead of entry level. My company is relatively small, so I decided to start applying for new jobs (starting about 6 months ago). For this specific company, I applied using LinkedIn so I saw whenever they viewed my application.
I got an interview back in March for a Controls Project Engineer 1 position in NYC. When speaking to the recruiter, he told me "based on your experience, I can see you skipping ahead and starting you off as a Senior Controls Engineer." He also mentioned how they were massively growing as a company, and they're hiring a lot people. I saw this as 2 big green flags because he made it seem like I was a direct fit.
After a few days, I landed the 2nd round interview with the lead engineer. We bonded for about an hour and it almost didn't even feel like an interview. Any technical question he asked me, I was able to answer with ease and we could conversate about each topic. Towards the end of the interview, he told me that there's still a 3rd round I have to do, and that he's actively interviewing other candidates, then told to me "please be patient!"
So, I remained patient. They made me feel like my life was going to massively upgrade because of the way they described the job to me, the title, and the pay $$$. The entire month of April, I would get an email from LinkedIn saying that they viewed my application. Every week (sometimes twice a week) they view my application, but I hear nothing from them. I waited all the way until the 2nd week of May, and decided to reach out to the recruiter for a follow up. He didn't respond.
This morning, I get an email saying they viewed my application once more. Then 5 minutes later, I get an email from the recruiter saying "Unfortunately, you lack the specific experience the team seeks. Thank you. Best of luck." That's it.

I put this under AITA because i dont really know what to put it under. So i had three best friends, lets call them Regina (my aunt), Gretchen (ex best friend), and Karen(childhood ex bestie). They all had known each other and were decent with one another which was great, we started to hang out together and talk on the phone together, finally felt like i had a girl friend group. December rolls around and me and my fiance wanted to go to see Bert Kriesher, it was already planned out, tickets bought, etc. I was so excited to go i told everybody about it in the beginning of November. Well about two weeks after I told everybody about it i find out the Regina is having “Friendsgiving” and has invited all of the girls. It happens to be on the same night we are going to see Bert, that is completely fine with me, i told them that we can’t make it and we can do something before Christmas (early Christmas) if they would like. All said yes and everything was good, we did early Christmas with Regina and Gretchen lived two hours away so it was hard to connect. Fast forward to early Christmas with Karen a week later and she was acting kinda weird during the entire time, was responding with short responses, wasnt really all the chatty and i just thought she was having a tough day. Asked her what was wrong she said nothing. Well two days later i get a message from Karens Fiancé saying that the people who i think are my friends arent my friends, curious i asked what he meant and he responded with i have screenshots and sends me almost a whole album of screenshots of all three of them talking shit in a group chat named Shit talk and then changed it to Grinch Talk, about me and my relationship, my recovery, how i parent, how i look, my health and more, but what really pissed me off the most is they decided to add my son(2yo) into it, so after receiving the screenshots i decided to make a group chat on snapchat and called it why are you talking shit, no-one responded to the group chat and messaged me individually. Karen called me crying saying the did it because they were concerned about me. Regina texted me saying i was making all of my health issues up and i just wanted attention when i in fact have medical records to prove otherwise (i have POTS, Seizures, stomach issues, and more). And Gretchen blamed it on karen and Regina saying she just wanted best for me. I blocked all of them on snap which Karen took personal and blocked me on everything after getting mad at me for blocking her on snap because i needed a break from seeing them all over my social media. Afterwards i cut Regina and Gretchen off and have completely cut them out of mine and my childs life. Some part of my feel guilty for my son because he was besties with Karens son, but i choose our peace over that drama anyday. Rant over✌🏼

I'm a (24F) and l've been friends with my guy friend (22M) for about 3/4 years now. I've never seen him as more than just a friend until two weeks ago. He invited me out of the blue to hang out during the wknd just the two of us. On my way to the event I said that I would be late and he basically said no problem but added "baby/sweetness" to the sentence; like "no worries sweetness" kind of reply (that's not what he literally said but you get it). That was already unusual to me, but I went about my drive and looked over it.
We meet up and it's normal, we got drinks and danced. I had planned to leave early but we had so much fun that I didn't mind staying longer. We bar hopped and walked around the city, he was affectionate the ENTIRE night. (Hugged me, pulled out my chairs and pushed them in, joked about me being so soft while he hugged me, etc) we were basically flirting the whole night. We cuddled in two separate Ubers (I leaned on him while he caressed my arms) he even squeezed me closer to him and whispered in my ear. At the end of the night we texted when we got home. What does this mean if he hasn’t addressed it?
TLDR Just to provide additional context. Ever since then I haven't been able to address the elephant in the room but I sort of liked it? We've been small talking everyday since then but I sort of hinted at it today and he basically acted like he was caught off guard. Now I'm so confused... also he hasn't responded since that part of our convo earlier. So did he basically play me? If so then the friendship is ruined I guess, which is disappointing. Sorry it was so long this is the summarized version I swear lol

Hii I’m applying for cc observerships once their portal opens in June, but I’ve heard that I should try emailing doctors there and get their approval/ invitation before I apply on the website, is this correct? And if so, could anyone who tried this and worked help me with emails of doctors who actually respond or accept IMGs? Any help is appreciated, thank you!!

Hey everyone. 18F here, and I am a current high school senior (so yes, this will be very high school drama-esque). In my area, it's common that, after senior prom, people will go away without parental supervision for the first time for the rest of the weekend.
Earlier this year, I was talking with my cousin and we brainstormed to go to a very similar place in another state as the place most people go tends to be packed and VERY dingy/unsafe because of the type of people such an event attracts. This was a perfect solution, because while I wanted the experience of going somewhere, I'm definitely not the party type and would rather spend the weekend hanging out with friends and relaxing. A few months ago, I ran this idea by my best friend, M (17F). They were really excited by this idea, and the two of us started to plan. We ended up with six people total, including us.
Where the problem comes in is that my friend, M, is also friends with another person, V (17F). V is a very headstrong person that tends to be obnoxious and bossy. She's not a bad person by any means, but is someone that I personally can only handle in small doses. She also tends to take over other peoples' plans, such as taking it upon herself to decide the guest list and everything else for a party she wasn't even hosting, excluding myself and others from the list. She has also borderline bullied me over small things and using her loud voice/bigger figure in a way that would pressure me not to respond or to agree. She has also specifically implied to other people that she does not like me.
I didn't want V to come, because not only do I dislike her, but I fear that she will 'take over' our plans, and make our trip into something it's not. Also, she tends to be a very anxious person, and I do not want her anxiety to be my problem. V tends to be very self-centered, and will bring things that are not about her to make them so that they are. Also, with the obnoxiousness, if I am hypothetically consuming things that wouldn't be particularly allowed, she would only draw attention to our group.
Anyway, the trip. M had half a mind to invite V, but I insisted for reasons above that it was a bad idea, and that V had mentioned she already had plans. This wasn't a total lie, because M did suggest that V was going to go to someone else's house that weekend. After a while, it was apparent that M did feel guilty about not inviting her. I urged her to throw me under the bus and that we were both under the impression that she had other plans, as flaky as they did seem. M did insist on telling V about the trip, which I understood, because she didn't want V to find out over social media and think that M had gone behind her back. Apparently, V didn't respond well, and according to M, she did throw me under the bus as I'd urged her to.
I've been struggling because while I feel O.K. for not inviting V (this trip was my idea, after all), I do feel like a bad friend to M for putting her in the middle.
AITA?

Hello everyone!
I'm currently in my final year of a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and I'm starting to explore job opportunities related to my field. I've been diligently applying to various companies using a resume template provided by my school. However, after sending applications to over 50 companies, only a few have responded, which has me concerned about the effectiveness of my resume.
To address this, I've decided to revamp my resume using Harvard's template, hoping it would be more appealing to potential employers. I'm reaching out to this community for feedback and suggestions on how to improve my resume further.
If anyone is willing to review my resume and provide some constructive criticism, I would greatly appreciate it. Your insights could be incredibly valuable in helping me land a job that aligns with my degree and passion for technology.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

So for context -my partner and I have been dating for half a decade. Our relationship is strong and we are enjoying our time together immensely - he's the love of my life, my favourite laughing partner and just a really special human being I'm honoured to know so deeply. My MIL came accross as a strong personality but seemed delightful and embraced me at first. Over the last few years it has become suspected she has a personality disorder with her "incidents" and behaviour. My partner and I are planning on getting engaged this year and have had this timeline for a very long time. While this should be a very exciting time in my life - I am instead feeling worried, stressed, and down. This MIL is constantly bringing up the concepts of engagement, weddings, and babies at get-togethers which sure is fine but the thing is it feels like she makes an effort to leave me out of it. My partners brother is also proposing this year to his partner which have been dating a few years less than us (super happy for them). My partner also has another sibling that isn't planning on proposing anytime soon and is younger. I have a really good relationship with everyone else in the family including the father (says i'm like a daughter), the siblings, and the partners (we have become friends). My MIL is not only making the maintenance of these relationships hard, but she is making me feel like abolute crap on a consistent basis at family events with how she blatenly treats me poorly compared to others. Here's some examples:

• At family events the MIL will bring up the topic of marriage, babies, moving in, etc. talk about it happening for both other siblings and then completely disregard me and my partner. For instance recently she went on about who shes inviting to the one siblings wedding and then talked about how the other sibling (one not proposing anytime soon)'s would be and then (I kid you not) looked at me, said my partner and I's names and laughed.
• Im telling you at every.single. event. for the past 3 years from the first few months of them dating she is bringing up the other siblings future engagement and how they deserve it so much etc. Cute at first but its very very excessive at this point (and thats me underexagerating). Im talking about begging, and not letting the topic go when no one in the room is reciprocating. Not a peep has been heard about me and my partner in this half a decade of being in the family. - Would I every want it to the extent of the other sibling? no. Do i find it odd and a bit rude? Yes. especially considering the fact that she has known my partner is proposing this year.
• one day she brought down her mothers gold jewlery and was passing it to the other siblings partners and asking what type of ring she wants. Then when that sibling's partner asked me (attempting to include me in the conversation) and I showed pictures of the the ones I tried on and the MIL immediatly went quiet then interrupted and changed the conversation back to the other siblings partner. She acted like I wasn't there and afterwards the other siblings partner said they noticed too.
• when leaving a get together she went out of her way to hug every partner but me.

-When the other sibling's partners arrive an excited voice and questions about work/life are had. Meanwhile, when I arrive it’s a short embrace with very little effort/interest in my life anymore unless it has to do with something that impacts my partner like whether we are going to my house this weekend.

• After not saying a word to me in a room she calls over other siblings partners and has private conversations in the other conjoining room about non-private things.
• (this is wild that im even saying this) I noticed she covers our picture on the mantel up by either putting other siblings and their partners photos in front or a nick nack like a bible verse plaque.

Efforts I have made over the past few years that I think qualify me as a good DIL /her response:

• I have tried doing activities she enjoys with her -making an effort to let her know I care about her and her interests. - a lot out of my comfort zone.
• One of my love languages is gifts/acts of service (I don't expect it in return but I would think she would atleast treat me kindly) - I hand-made the whole family including partners sweaters (while other partners go nothing), every year I make the family yearly recap videos, I also make every family member including her birthday videos where I spend hours collecting photos, and videos from the past with their favourite music - started as something just for my partner but my FIL was so appreciative of it I thought i would do it for everyone. I do something special for her for international womens day and mothers day every year.
• I thank her in cards and have told her many times for raising very kind respectable humans.
• I ask her questions/ listen to her vents about conflicts with friends or family - (which btw she can be very negative about people).
• Myself and my partner both do the most activities with her and go out of our way to visit/help her the most. (ie. going shopping together, visiting her at work)
• I have cleaned her whole kitchen/ made food for the family on my own dime and time.
• Even when we first started dating and I was a broke university student - I would go out of my way to spend money on her and her family because i wanted to and I love them.
• When she would have mental "incidents" ie. leaving the house for a few days, calling family members really horrible names etc. I was the one who would speak sense to my partner and his siblings about how this is a mental health issue and she doesn't really mean it. - I have defended her at her worst.

Most recently:

• invited her to two outings/events things we have done together before - denied
• Asking her about life/work - not holding conversation
• Used to hug me good morning/goodbye - not anymore.
• Blatantly ignoring my prescence in the room when other siblings partners are there/not including me in conversation
• didn't respond to my mothers text and makes very little effort with my family (despite my family having them to our cottage and visiting/checking in - my dad and the FIL are friends) - meanwhile when we are in big groups she is constantly talkig about the other siblings partners parents and going out of her way to invite them to fancy dinners - buy them the most expensive bottle of wine etc. (bc she "wants to make a good impression"). - lol i guess my family wasn't important these past 5 years.

I feel as though my family is treated as less important and I myself am treated as less worthy of engagement or marriage when I have tried my hardest to just be accepted and respected by their family. I have made many efforts to show my care and loyalty to their family but the events I used to look forward to have just turned into sour reminders of how vastly different I am treated.
Some of these things above I have cried, laughed, or both about. There are many more things she has done that have hurt me these past few years of our relationship which I haven't mentioned above by myself and my partner thought were unintentional at the time and not necesary to address. She has love bombed me before which has confused me and made me think i'm over reacting to feeling like she wasn't treating me well/ doesn't like me -but most recently its gotten to the point where I am crying when I get home from every family event because of how prominent her efforts to exclude and bellttle me are.
Me and my partner have great communication and have agreed on the implementation of boundaries such as increased distance if her behaviour progresses etc. and he has offered to say something but I am scared. No matter what, I will have to attend family get to-gethers and I am marrying into this family that I really do love. I get along with the siblings partners so well it's such a shame that her presence leads to her making me feel poorly around them because of how she acts/things she says. I have also suggested she gets more mental support but right now shes attending therapy alone where I don't think she is fully honesst about her incidents/treatment of others. My partner knows she is unwell and we are both upset and tired of this being a thing. I definitely don't want to be overly embraced and put on a pedestal but I think what shes doing currently takes more effort than just acknowledging me and treating me with an ounce of the kindness she gives the others. I am scared to get engaged after her reaction to hearing we have been ring shopping and I am also more scared about the concept of a wedding or having kids as I find she has a tendency to be controlling and I don't want my future kids to see their mom being treated like this or possibly be treated the same. That of course made my partner upset and now don't know where to go from here (hence me referring to reddit) but I know a life with this is not a happy one for me or my partner and I don't deserve it but I love the family and I do love her for who she may be when shes mentally more well and her perseverence in life.

I'm a (24F) and l've been friends with my guy friend (22M) for about 3/4 years now. I've never seen him as more than just a friend until two weeks ago. He invited me out of the blue to hang out during the wknd just the two of us.

MONTERREY ENQUIRER - INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH EDITION A Tale of Two Interviews
Just recently the Monterrey Enquirer received the interview notes from two of our correspondents, Enrique Krauze and Lucas Hernandez, who were able to interview Canadian Prime Minister Leoanrd Damphousse and President La Follette of Wisconsin. We have provided a summary and comparison of the interviews for our readers.
The Cause of the Canadian-Wisconsin Disputes
Our correspondents asked both leaders about the tensions between Wisconsin and Canada.
The president blamed the tensions on Canada patrolling ‘Lake Wisconsin’ which, rather than reducing piracy and trade interdiction, played a part in spreading it to the lakes. Additionally, he accused Canada of imperialism, refused to attend a conference with Wisconsin, and said that “ [Canada]…are however, obviously insecure in their own nationhood. This is largely due to its status as a joke nation, a barely functional patchwork of disparate provinces."
The prime minister said told us that he didn’t understand Wisconsin’s concerns, saying that although their ties with DC were understandably taken issue with, their lake patrols have done nothing to “actively impede them or restrict their trade”.
The Way Forward
We asked both leaders how they would resolve the tensions.
The prime minister said that “should the door for cooperation be opened by Leader Phil we’d happily reopen trade and negotiate for friendly trade terms.”
While the president said, “If Canada is serious about peace as they claim, then they will accept our longstanding invitation to them to a conference in Madison between two sovereign nations.” Although he said that Canada has refused to consider them a sovereign and legitimate nation.
In 20 Years
We asked both leaders where they wished to see their respective groups in 20 years.
La Follette said that although Wisconsin is a People’s Democracy and, should the people desire to join the United States or any other group it would be done, there is “no desire amongst the people of Wisconsin at present to join any organization which might be a concession of our natural right of sovereignty.”
Damphousse simply answered, “United and prosperous”
Additional Canadian Thoughts on Cascadia
In a question unrelated to Wisconsin, our correspondent asked about Canadian negotiations with the Cascadians. The Prime Minister expressed that progress was slow and difficult because, “their government structure is simply not applicable to ours”.

I'm using the Astra Theme, I picked one of their starter templates and I'm editing it with Elementor. I would like to add a text to the template that says "Welcome John" where John Doe is replaced by a parameter name that I pass in the URL, how can I do this? Is there a better approach to displaying a dynamic name onto a template?
Example: if the link is mywebsite.com/?name='Mike' then the text will be "Welcome Mike" just like what's shown on this video
I'm building an invitation so that's why I require each invitation to have the name of the guest. Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Preferably a free approach

Applied to a social scientist position with the FDA back in January. Status still says applied. Did anyone else apply/get invited for an interview?

I had a 2nd interview a week ago and was waiting to hear if I made it to the 3rd and final interview. Instead, I got an email that they are excited to invite me to the “next round” which is then checking 2-3 references. Is this good news? Is this a red flag?

Bam Aquino announced in his interview with Karen Davila this morning that he is ready to return to politics and run for senator in the 2025 elections. He told Karen that he had already left LP in 2021 and was invited to lead Katipunan ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino as its Chairperson.

TLDR; built a crm specifically for pressure washing: plaidquotes.com, looking for feedback. Lots of features, contact me if you have any questions on how it works, or have any suggestions/requests at [kevin@plaidquotes.com](mailto:kevin@plaidquotes.com) .
I've been building a crm over the past year (I'm a software engineer by trade) specifically for the pressure washing industry, and I'm seeking feedback. It's live, so by all means go use it. In addition to feedback, I'm also looking to quantify upsell amounts (this was specifically designed to increase upsells), and gather information on common usage amounts so I can calculate my costs for hosting, CPU usage, storage fees, etc. I've been trying to design it in such a way that it remains easy to use and understand, while still providing beneficial insights into your business. That being said, there's still a lot in there. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out either here or my email [kevin@plaidquotes.com](mailto:kevin@plaidquotes.com) .
Some information to get you started: This was specifically designed to increase upselling. As such, it automatically sends EVERY quote you put on a property to a customer, every single time. I never understood why we always just respond with "here's the quote you asked for". Instead, "would you like fries with that?". Also, once you quote a house, you'll never have to do it again. And why should you? You've already looked it up on zillow, measured everything out on google etc. The quotes on the property are permanent (they can be edited in realtime, and you can delete them), and the customer can use the link you send them to book jobs forever, without having to call you to ask for quotes.
I'm operating under the assumption that all 2 story 2500 sq vinyl houses (for example) are pretty much the same, with some caveats. I understand that not everybody does it this way, that's fine. And you can still very easily edit the prices to apply to specific properties. When you create a new account, it will come with a sample "quote collection" and "saved quote". Quote collections are what they sound like, and my current users are calling them "2500 sq ft 2 story vinyl" for example. You should put all of the quotes that apply to every house in the category in your collection to make adding quotes to properties easier. They can be edited before posting to a property, as well as after, so if there is something about a specific house that increases the pricing of gutter cleaning, for instance, that can be edited on the fly. Saved quotes are things like decks, gazebos, etc. Things that don't apply to every house, but that you see with some regularity.
Quotes are permanently attached to the property, until you delete them. They can be edited in bulk, so if you want to up all of your prices across the board by 3%, you can do that. Or if you want to update all roof wash prices, you can do that as well.
Example usage: Joe Schmo calls, he lives at 1234 main str and wants a house wash quote. You type in his address, it'll pop up in the autocomplete. When you click it, it takes you to that address, and gives you all of the info on that address (past jobs, upcoming jobs, customers, etc.). Click on the quote collection that applies to that address, make any edits you need, click on the house wash quote in the "existing quotes" box, and fire the email.
Joe Schmo will get an email, with a list of your quotes that he can scroll through at his own leisure, select the services he wants, and book. This also asks for his name/phone number (if you don't already have it in the crm) and optionally, lead source. This will populate his data into the crm for you.
That request will show up on your dashboard as a requested job. Click on it to see the job, schedule, etc. Scheduling also automatically generates an invoice, which follows your payment terms (or defaults to net-30 commercial and net-7 residential.
Customers also receive job tracking emails, where they can track the status of their job.
Automated email is about to be released (just have more testing to do), which will allow you to create custom email templates that go out at your specified times (i.e. a week after you send quotes if they haven't booked, a day before scheduled job as confirmation, a month before what you deem to be a follow-up/repeat service, etc.).
Several other features are in the pipeline, and definitely reach out if you have any requests/suggestions/comments/concerns.

If I were a producer or a show host and someone was inviting me to a swanky book launch party at a fancy restaurant walking distance from my work.. unless I really had something I had to do I would go. Most of these people don't even respond, and a lot of them have talked to me a lot before. I don't want to chase them down to go to something they should WANT to go to, but looks not great if I don't have a few people coming.

I applied to an internship by browsing on Craigslist. It was a legit company and the only place they posted the job was on Craigslist.
I didn’t hear back for a week and today I did. They emailed me this morning at 8 saying they want to interview me in the afternoon. I can’t, I have back to back classes.
I get back to them around 11 AM. As I’m typing to respond to person A, person B sends a follow up email out of nowhere. At the same time I get a phone call from them, which I can’t accept because again, I didn’t consent to be interviewed right then and there while at school.
In my email I said I’m only available July cuz I’m busy in June. They said they’re looking to fill the spot immediately and I should reach out in July.
I’m just annoyed that they think it’s okay to assume I can do an interview today just because the editor is only free today. Maybe I won’t reach out since their time management sucks. But also bad timing that I’m busy overseas in June.
