I enjoy my job but if it gets extremely busy (Tech Support Call Centre) then I still bitch about it when/if it quietens down because that is kinda annoying. That's true, but I have a job in an industry I'm interested in that I studied for. My friends have jobs they took just to make rent. Also, it drives me nuts when they get mad they don't just get offered jobs that they want.

I'm finishing a CS major very soon and need to figure out what to do next. I probably have a gently caress load of options because my math skills are good and I wrote a paper on AI but...I haven't heard back from anybody, haven't gotten any job offers yet, and need to get the GRE out of the way. The uncertainty is what bothers me because I just want to know if I'll need to move to Pittsburgh or not. This bothers me only because I really don't like Pittsburgh but might end up there anyway. I'm pretty sure this is the most first world problem I've ever had.

The uncertainty is what bothers me because I just want to know if I'll need to move to Pittsburgh or not. This sounds a lot like the reason I live in Dallas. I don't want to live in Dallas, but...I live in Dallas now. Also you have now reminded me that the GRE is a thing and I took it. So now I'm curious about how I did because I don't think anyone ever gave a gently caress and I forget what the results were but I don't know where I can find said results, and I have a bunch of college junk I have to sift through, so that'll suck. I vaguely recall doing better on it than other CS majors in my class that were doing better than me GPA wise and being glad about that, but then no one gave a gently caress about GRE stuff, so whatever. Edit:VV I work for something like that, so that's been true for a good 5 years now. The back-end work is often piss easy compared to what you're likely doing in school, so if you enjoy a challenge then it might suck, but you might get lucky and get there right before they decide to upgrade everything and then it'll be at least mildly interesting. Alternatively web dev and security stuff is nice and challenging in finance, so there's a solution to potential boredom. Brightman has a new favorite as of 18:40 on Aug 25, 2015 |

A pal of mine had a lot of luck working for betting companies and banks who are desperate for CS and Maths grads which are like gold dust.

I'm really hungry but my friend won't be here to pick me up for lunch for another hour. If I eat a snack now I'm afraid it will ruin my appetite for lunch and my friend will be sad I'm not hungry. But I'm so hungry!!

Similarly, ever since I got a job I love with a great salary, I feel like I can't commiserate with friends anymore. It's probably weird that my friendships were/are so heavily based on commiseration anyway though.

Continuing this theme, I just got approached out of the blue by a better company looking to hire me for a better job. I don't even need to look for and apply for new jobs anymore.

A job I applied for said I was qualified but didn't have enough time-in-grade. Now I have enough time but they are saying that I'm not qualified. Listen here you fuckers, if you are just doing an internal promortion, don't advertise it to the public.

Business dinner tonight. I must have eaten something bad for lunch because throughout the night I had to fart SO BAD, but of course I couldn't because I was in front of clients. I'm not even kidding, I was almost sweating from the effort of holding back.

I bought a lanyard with which to attach a small wireless speaker to. The lanyard is a bit big, making it hang a shade too low for my taste, but thanks to the design of the thing, shortening it would make it a pain to take off.

Poldarn posted:The idiot who renovated my house before I bought it built the kitchen counter around the dishwasher. Who knew that one day someone would want to replace the dishwasher without tearing that counter apart? I feel your pain. My equivalent idiot not only built the counters around it, but hard plumbed it - 1/2" copper tube, no flexible hose. Forgot to shut off the house water valve (no shutoff for the dishwasher, obviously) and got a geyser when I tried to pull the unit out and the cheesy plastic solenoid snapped off. Also, the tubing came up through the floor and I had to cut it off and tee off the sink water lines because the new dishwasher was a deep tub design. At least the place was a bargain. Other FWP - for no good reason, raccoons keep crapping on the roof of my shed.

I took a day off from my current job to interview at a new place, but they postponed the interview on me last minute. So now I have a whole day off tomorrow with nothing to do, and I need to take another day off from my job sometime next week.

My friend got promoted at work, so now she is a store manager, so I see her maybe once every two weeks, when we used to hang out every day. I have nothing to do this weekend but my car needs an oil change and I don't want to take it because the place I go to is so loving hard to get an appt at. Tried to set up a meet with another fishkeeper, at 2am today we agreed to meet "tomorrow." For me, since it's 2am, that means today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday. For Mr rear end in a top hat, "tomorrow" means Saturday because he forgot 2am Saturday morning doesn't mean Friday. He got real snippy when I pointed that out and I had to cancel the meeting.

Obviously I have no way of knowing what your situation is, but if you haven't already. I suggest you check the fuse. I replaced mind and my compressor fired back up again and hasn't blown the new fuse.

Nah, there's oil on the concrete below where it's leaked out from the a/c and it's blowing hot a day after it was blowing cold. Either it's a major leak or the compressor went poof Appreciate the advice though!

I just bought my first home, and my dad was nice enough to give me a free lawn mower. It sucks, though. The charge doesn't last long enough to mow even my relatively small lawn.. It can't even do it on two charges. Three...three god-damned charges of the battery to mow one lawn. Also, the bag is tiny and I have to empty it five times, but I have nowhere to really put it or a way to get rid of it so I have a slowly growing pile of clippings. It's free, so I shouldn't complain, but I'd rather have a mower that can finish the whole lawn in one day, and just had a regular blower that left a small amount of grass on the lawn that becomes unnoticeable after a couple days. Also, it's width is like twelve inches, whereas an average mower is closer to 20".

Our cleaner came yesterday even though it was a Bank Holiday. Everywhere did need vacuuming and mopping especially as I had been in and out from the garden all weekend, but I ended up going to do more gardening to get out of her way. Really all I wanted to do was sit and play Skyrim for twelve hours.
