just wanna a break from ibd recruiting...

Thanks for reading.

I know everyone works hard, but I have tried my best...I suffered too much in May.

I lost the watch my father gave me on my 20th birthday. spent the whole day in the police station. just got nothing. Totally hopeless.

There will be an interview in two hours. My dream job. I can't seriously prepare for this. I can't control myself not to cry.

Don't worry about the watch - material things can be replaced (yes, even expensive ones). Hopefully, your Father was understanding. Pick your head up and nail the interview. Good luck!

There is nothing you can do to control your watch being lost, right now all you can control are your emotions and your performance. Letting this difficult situation fuck up your interview would be like letting yourself down twice and if you've worked so hard to get here then you owe it to yourself to keep up the good work you've been putting in.
