"Hey there, so sorry, I was in a minor car accident and was unable to notify you. Everyone is fine, and I'm really sorry for this unfortunate circumstance. I'd be happy to find a time soon to reschedule if possible, thanks you for your understanding."

Jobs lie to us all the time, lie back, fuck 'em. Come up with any excuse you need to in order for them to reschedule. Shit happens, I've rescheduled interviews before, it's not that big of a deal.

I don't have nightmares often, but when I do, it's about discovering I forgot one of my classes for an entire semester

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Never had those dreams til I finished grad school and was completely out of college for a couple years

Then I started having ones about forgetting classes, or projects, or whatever, and it's rather disorienting to wake up and think 'oh god, that class' and then remember you're 30 and haven't taken any classes in 3 years

I've had the exact same experience, except I've also started having nightmares like that about high school too for some reason

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've had this exact same nightmare and so have so many other people I know. I wonder why it's so common.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Me too. For me there's a context in the dream of "huh, I'm still signed on for these classes and I've been gone for weeks, I haven't been dropped and I'm still liable for whatever I missed." sweat

I always dream that I'm taking the final and it's worth 100% of the grade

Same lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

lol I just wrote a comment that amounts to me actually doing that once. It was not fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

One of my most common nightmare topics.

gigachad-hd I'm very sorry, I had to take care of urgent matters and didn't make it on time. If you agree we can reschedule for tomorrow at 10 AM. Kind regards.

Ooof, that's the worst feeling.

I once forgot that I had signed up for a college class until the last couple of weeks of the semester. I panicked so much until I realized I could use some kind of special drop.
