[1261] Larisa’s Life Advice, Part 2

This is a non-canon version of Hitomi as she obviously didn’t go to an American school or college.
- Sign: Larisa’s Life Advice – Part 2
- Larisa: Middle school and high school is a tough time for many of us.
- Larisa: Be strong, and get through it! Because in college, at the very latest, nobody will care about your little quirks anymore!
- Student: What result did you get for problem 5?
- Hitomi: 23.
- Student: Me too.
- Larisa: One of the best parts of getting older is that you yourself also won’t give a damn about everything and everyone anymore.
- Larisa: Of course, there’s a limit to everything…
- Bizarro-Hitomi: I’m here for the job interview.

Hopefully this will put an end to people thinking Hitomi’s a teenager.

not that high school would be much different where they at least exist on this planet…
but truth is my problems ended with getting to high school… it were grades 5-9 which were hell… next 4 years of grammar school? Easy… universite – hell everyone was so damn bussy and desperate of thermodynamics (e.g.)
Panel one brings back a lot of bad memories and feelings.
I was always entertaining the idea of going in my Old Republic Sith costume to job application..
Though I am thinking of making a Skitarii one now…
@ Paeris Kiran:
“Bussy”
Oh boi

Regardless, employers (Not Japan), don’t judge people based on what they’re wearing so long as you absolutely don’t look like a mess. If well groomed, well professionally behaved, and resume&CV is good, they’ll try you on for your 2weeks.
Hitomi is already used to wearing uniforms from her last cafe job anyways.
The punchline would have been more effective if she was wearing a sexy revealing bunny suit instead.
If you show up to the job interview in a fursuit with me… I will totally bump you to the top of the list of people I want to work with :P. I can’t speak for my coworkers sadly :/.
@ Novil:
If I’m not mistaken, in Japanese schools it would be much worse…
Of course, she torched everything those who DARED laugh at her valued.
After that, they themselves were given a hot foot and made to look totally hot!!
Oh wait, this isn’t Larisa.
I was so glad when I was out of regular school. Vocational school and later university where way better and people where way more understanding.
Oh, yes. There is a limit. There is a limit… But not everyone knows it or wants to admit it.

Sadly this is not true. I interviewed a candidate recently and recommended that we employ her. She was rejected by our Human Resources department because of what she was wearing at the interview.
I can actually imagine someone turning to be interviews by me for a position as full professor, dressed in a fursuit. What the heck, I have employed stranger people that that, but I would be very careful about the references. 🙂
Drives the point home about judging by appearances, And provides a good screening for employers you Don’t want to work for in and of itself. Clever.
I dissagree, there is no limit. The mark of one truly great is to exist on one’s own terms in gleeful defiance of culture, decency and reality and thereby reshape the world around to fit one’s singular existence.
I would say you can’t have the paws while working since they will impede the speed of your hands everything else is fine
I’m not sure whether there is a limit or not. But an epsilon-delta argument should be able to sort it out.
Alternate punchline: Is there a limit? or is that an essential singularity?
there will be Richard and Hitomi wedding? please make it Mr. Knörzer & Powree
Personally, I feel like we should just hibernate through middle school. We don’t learn anything during those three years anyway, and when we finally emerge from our cocoons, our limbs fit our bodies, our acne’s reduced, and our hormones have cooled down.
@ Kitsune:
I mean… if you’re going in for a job as a costume designer, or something like hollywood makeup, showing up in a full fursuit you made yourself might not be a terrible thing? At the very least, you can show off your work!
@ Anon:
I thought Americans were allowed the fur suit of excellence.
@ Novil:
Since she is now in the USA, she could be going to community college? So, it could be(come) canon Hitomi? anyway, continue the good work!
@ Alice:
Sadly true, “ijime” had in the past, present and likely future lead to kid’s suicide.
I lived this…. (Well, shy of going to a job interview in full fursuit…)
If a girl had been wearing cat ears in my college, she’d have been very annoyed with my constant attempts to get closer to her.

I was on a university with technical focus so the students were mostly male. Any girl had to deal with constant attempts like this. They really didn’t need cat ears for that XD

Which is how I know of these mechanics. But I personally was extremely introverted and only annoyed one girl that way, at the beginning. And that was nothing compared to how I’d have been with a girl wearing cat ears.
NASA somehow didn’t pick up any hint in this last one.
of course the answer to 5 is 23!
“Why did you come dressed like that?”
“The ad said ‘comfortable wearing a mascot suit’, sir”
“You’re hired!”
@ Asrial:
Mind you, Sandra likes Hitomi, Larissa likes Hitomi, so, anybody makes Hitomi cry, they burn!
At first glance I thought the job interview was for a mascot. So it fitted perfectly with the desire to dress up. Oh well..
Alifer wrote:
The mask would impede visibility, as well. And depending on working environment, fur could be a safety hazard (get caught in machinery or the like, and/or lead to heat exhaustion). If it had just been the ears, sure, no problem. (Disclaimer: I am not a hiring manager.)
After all, don’t people usually say to wear your most expensive suit?
For a programmer job why not most people consider programmers and system analysts weird anyway.
Nothing communicates eccentric quirkiness better than showing up to a job interview wearing a bow tie.
