I think he'll reveal that he's working at elementary schools again.

That said, I'm glad that he decided to not stay clean for 2 days because he would have missed out on some good blazing time if he had.

True story, I used the telescope line on a second date with a nerdy chick from OKCupid once, we wound up killing a bottle of whiskey and looking at the moon, a few years later and we're getting married.

Now I can't stop her from talking me into filling the driveway with half broken trucks. :perfect:

Owns.

I'm still trying to figure out where to set it up. My backyard has way too many trees, but the mount needs power to function. We'd probably just look at the moon and maybe Saturn, so light pollution shouldn't be an issue. Maybe a parking lot close-by and a jumper pack? I wanna drink, so close-by is crucial, but there are a few solid candidates.

I don't think I've put it up here before, so here's my big dicktelescope:



It's an 8" primary Newtonian Orion, with a Celestron CG-5 hypertuned mount. Nerd-boner, engage.

This has been my experience with tech companies as well. Never had a drug test when I worked with HP (but I did have to submit a hair test to work as a resident at Goodyear HQ,) my current job has a "don't let it affect what you do here" policy and the job that I have an offer for didn't say anything about testing in my most recent interview.

Speaking of job chat, put my two weeks' notice in this morning. Waiting to hear back from my manager to see if they're going to counter. Probably won't, or at least not enough to get me to stay.

Astrophotography is super hard holy poo poo.

I've got a T-ring for my Canon, but achieving a good polar alignment to shoot exposures over more than a second without motion blurring is just insanely difficult for me. I've even got a polar scope inside the loving HYPERTUNED mount and I still suck. Honestly I wouldn't even try DSO's without an autoguider or the patience of a saint, maybe both.

I can also say that making a Bahtinov Mask out of cardboard or something was easily the biggest Eureka moment ever. I don't know how anyone could achieve proper focus without one, Once you have it set you're good for the night and no longer have that variable to gently caress up.

This AP poo poo is legit giving me nightmares now. Had a dream last night that I had to go back and take some high school courses alongside the youngins in order to finish college.

It was horrifying. Pretty funny though when I told off the teacher trying to get me to pay attention to the babby explanation for how electrons work when "dude, I've taken physics 2, I've derived all the various equations for field strength and electric potential, your metaphor using men and women for positive and negative charges doesnt quite cut it, and also I'm fairly sure no elementary particles are gay so it's a dumb comparison". Or something like that, but more witty.

loving brain poo poo, man.

After 7 weeks and 10,000 miles at my new job i'm finally out of the stupid debt i put myself in by trying to work for myself. Also, i'm still owed a bit more from a couple people so i'm also slightly in the black too, and i have some stuff to (try) sell.

The company i'm with now love me, and the boss asked me the other day how i get around so fast. Seems the other drivers are lazy as poo poo and long everything out, despite being paid by the job and not by the hour. Hoping i can keep at the current turnover for at least a few more weeks and actually get some money saved up again. Yaaaay work, i love it.

Welp, accepted the job offer for a new position at a different company doing Development Operations.

Just in time apparently too, one of the marketing guys at my current job who is buddy-buddy with someone in the know says they were ranting in raving about how I don't seem to do much anymore and that I'm not worth the money I'm being paid (I'm being paid $65k to do Systems Administration AND run a Helpdesk AND manage everything under the sun here) when they previously paid an outsourced IT Management company $80k, and they only came on site once a week. When I was hired, they complain of so many issues due to the unavailability of support. As soon as I corrected all the major issues, they started complaining that I apparently didn't have enough to do, which is normal and I'm used to hearing this.

Time to move.
